Intellectual engagement
On the last day of school during my sophomore year, our computer science teacher gave us a CD with Delphi (a computer program) and a handbook on it. We were supposed to work through the handbook to learn the basics of Delphi during the summer in preparation for our class test after the summer break. However, he forgot to put the handbook on it and we had to learn it by ourselves. Nobody knew how Delphi works, so we shared any progress we made in the understanding of this program. After two weeks of teaching each other, we were able to built small programs with Delphi, but we weren't sure if that was enough or if we had to know more. So we set up groups of fours to take a deeper look at the internals of the program. After the summer break we made our teacher aware of the fact that he forgot to put the handbook on it. Thus, he expected that we haven't done anything and that he had to start from scratch. However, he was surprised about our knowledge of Delphi and its internals. Through the given responsibility, the challenging work, collaboration and the true engagement by us, the students, we have learned that not the number of pages you have to study matters - only the way you learn matters.
