Learning philosophy • Lectures and readings should take place outside the classroom at your own pace (wiki) • Experiential learning should take place both in and outside the classroom • Classroom for applications and exercises using frameworks and tools you learn (what is bus-ed?) • Out-of-classroom for exposure to reality • What you learn is a responsibility you share with me
