For many students, being required to produce critical thought in front of a class is a new sensation, often a not very pleasant one ... To create what is, for most of us, that “new sensation,” you need a professor who provokes and a student who stops slumbering. It is the responsibility of colleges and universities to place students in environments that provide these opportunities. It is the responsibility of students to seize them. Genuine education is not a commodity, it is the awakening of a human being.
-Hunter Rawlings, as excerpted from this essay
