"QUESTions Instead of Answers: A Process-based Curriculum for the Twenty-first Century"

Sponsored by:
Provost's Office
By David J. Helfand, Columbia University & former president, Quest University Canada The design of Quest University Canada began with a question: How do we create the most effective and engaging education for students who will graduate into a rapidly changing, globalized world? Our answer was to center education around the formulation of good questions and the processes by which one attempts to address them. This leads naturally to having tutors who teach, rather than professors who profess, and to seminar rooms rather than lecture halls.
