Dear Mr. Fisch,
I liked your article The Learning Studio because I feel that this is the way that students should be learning today. The methods used by the School of Medicine at the University of Virginia in “The Learning Studio” such as working with groups, not being lectured then tested and so on should be what a class room is like now and in the future. I think that these ways of learning and teaching would really benefit the students today because if students just think with their peers today and try to solve problems, they will learn this skill now. I also agree that the lecture and testing style of teaching is not effective because I am a student and I know that when i'm being lectured, I zone out. Then after not fully understanding the lecture, students cram for tests, which don’t help a student understand the material, and then they just forget about it after the test is over. This learning studio should be the classroom of students today because it would be more effective in getting kids educated and prepared for the real world.
