John Evans on 23 Jan 14"Human beings learn in lots of different ways. They can learn by reading a book or by sitting in a classroom or by taking an online class. Some ways of learning are more tedious and stressful than others, though. When I was an engineering student in college, I sat in lectures for nine hours straight on Wednesdays, with no lunch break. After those nine hours of lectures, I'd study several hours to prepare for the next day. Is it any wonder I ditched engineering as my college major? There's got to be a more humane way of learning. Learning by making is that more humane way."
