What Faculty Are Saying

"Learning is very much about dialogue and the ongoing development of an active discursive community. It fosters student discussion and requires students to become integrally involved with the learning process. Students post their work and learn from one another as they use their own writings as texts in the class. Students learn to reflect upon their work, which in turn fosters lifelong learning skills that helps them find their voices inside and outside the classroom. "

Jeannette E. Riley, Women's Studies at Dartmouth
