International Teaching...

This article is very interesting and shows a good example of the different teaching techniques across the nation. In Singapore, college students are to make a wiki site. Doing so allows them to grasp the concept of working hard on something, doing research and being the gate keeper of their own education. The students are working hard on their wikis, editing others wikis, and learning what it is really like to start from scratch on such an intense project. I think this professor had a great idea when embarking on this endeavor. The students said they are getting used to such a project but it is a very good thing!
