Class discussion

I feel like class discussions are a mixed bag. I think they're very helpful for the beginning planning phases of a project, but after that initial phase, I think classroom discussion loses most of its usefulness. The majority of the class doesn't understand your own motivations, ideas, morals, history, and other factors that determine what you will eventually chose to do in your projects. This is why I believe that personal one-on-one mentor/student independent studies are essential to a well- made capstone.
