Transcript
00:00When we go to our professors, we have to depend on their expertise to a great extent.
00:04Otherwise, we are just novices.
00:06The professor is knowledgeable, but you are not a notebook the professor scribbles a knowledgeable statement on.
00:15You are somebody who must receive what the professor says, what the teacher gives, and then it must become your
00:23own.
00:24The teacher's job is to explain, not etch something on your mind.
00:29The teacher's job is not to fill you up with his knowledge.
00:33What comes to you must become your own.
00:37So he is giving something to you and it's a process of active conscious engagement.
00:44You are not a mug being filled.
00:46She is the professor and I am the student and she is filling my mug up with her knowledge.
00:52No, that's a flawed model.
00:54That's not the way it is.
