Thoughts Were Made To Be Thunk

"Learn is not a transitive verb." ~Peter Gould

When I used to teach university courses, something that I found myself often needing to say to students was: "Show me that it passed through your brain." Contrary to what most of them presumed, I wasn't interested in having information parroted back to me. Teaching is not information delivery, and learning is not delivering it back. Thoughts were made to be thunk.
