In the classroom , the student learns , above all else , that learning is boring , degrading and difficult . When educators suggest , for instance , that learning is better understood as an " active construction of meaning " by the learner ( as was done recently in the first version of The Common Curriculum ) , it is not surprising that the public may wonder if schools have been diverted from their proper focus . You've decided , for example , that learning is not a matter simply of accumulating knowledge , as if you were a container that could be stuffed with a neutral substance . IGL capitalizes on one of the key strengths of research universities , the expertise of its faculty in research , and it responds to a point made by John Dewey almost a century ago , that learning is based on discovery guided by mentoring , rather than the simple transmission of information . Firing of the little short guns were made at the Hopkins Branch , since learned the names of them were carbines , used by the Cavalry . I've seen people die in the gutter , and I've seen people do really incredible things , like learn how to build and work together , learn how to do plumbing and electricity , and get really politically active . Therefore , we truly emphasize the idea that learning involves a change , that learning is a process , that it is in constant evolution , and that learning involves a different process for each learner , who may need more or less time to understand and learn certain content . Your teacher is not always there to provide comments , so learning self-reliance is an important part of the writing process .
