A fundamental part of these classes involves critique, where students present their finished products to the class, talk about their inspiration and ideas, and critically evaluate the work in terms of where it has succeeded and where it has failed. Beyond creation and evaluation, students research a topic (e.g., a culture’s ceramics or a contemporary ceramic artist) and present their findings to the class. “It’s probably my favorite part of the class,” Clarke remarks, “because they become the teachers." 3 Fri, 30 Jan 2009 03:35:37 GMT http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/hardin/ipod/03-Hardin.m4v Education http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/hardin/ipod/03-Hardin.m4v Metabolism was the perfect science for Hardin to study both because it has an immediate impact and because it can be tested. Hardin’s mother was a physician and his father was a philosopher, so studying metabolics seemed to make perfect sense. 3 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 21:25:08 GMT
