Student driven

I like your point about fostering an inner drive for knowledge instead of forcing it through examination.  I've read several books that suggest one benefit of student driven inquiry is that the ownership of the process creates an emotional facet to the process.  Emotions have a lot to do with learning and memory.  More about that the first week.
