How do CTUO assignments ask students to bring their life experiences and knowledge to the class and to the work that students are doing toward their degrees?
Every class has literally hundreds of years of life experience in it, so how can we have students make connections between what they know and bring to class and what they're learning? Do you find that our assignments ask the most out of students and give them opportunities to bolster their self-esteem with academic work by letting them rely on their natural, experiential knowledge base?
