This experiment in co-constructive inquiry was, in my opinion, very valuable. First, because if I was asked at the end of the semester about what I learnt, I'd probably be able to say more for this class than my other classes that were more lecture and exam based. The discussions we had were very interesting as they allowed us to guide the course of  the class, to the some extent. Moreover, the different perspectives and experiences we were shared we quite enlightening. Second, it proves that it is effective way to teach and learn. I've never really been a big fan of the sciences, but I was able to learn about the brain much more by the discussions than I would have from a text book. I also think the studying the brain is much more imperative now than I did before. Something I wish we has talked about is what we can/should do with all we learnt during the course of the semester. Quite a few of us were interested in and involved with education. I'm curious to know what people think they learnt that they could apply to current or future interactions with the realm of education. We didn't quite resolve the question as to what the big answer is, but that's probably because there is no, one right way to "fix" education. I wonder if we could have all come have decided with the best option, though, that was acceptable to all or at least most of us. Overall, it was a great class that I really enjoyed. Thank you, Professor Grobstein and everyone.
