<p>The Question- At Williams we believe that bringing together students and professors in small groups produces extraordinary academic outcomes. Our distinctive Oxford-style tutorial classes—in which two students are guided by a professor in deep exploration of a single topic—are a prime example. Each week the students take turns developing independent work—an essay, a problem set, a piece of art—and critiquing their partner’s work. Focused on close reading, writing, and oral defense of ideas, more than 70 tutorials a year are offered across the curriculum, with titles like “Biomedical Ethics,” “Women in National Politics,” and “Extraterrestrial Life in the Galaxy: a Sure Thing or a Snowball’s Chance?”
Imagine yourself in a tutorial at Williams. Of anyone in the world, whom would you choose to be the other student in the class, and why? (Please limit your response to 300 words.)
I'm stuck. Please help me help myself!
PS, I'm not asking for subject matter, just how to find that matter and then approach this question</p>
<p>Just to clarify: is the question asking you the partner that you want in the theoretical study? </p>
<p>I would say think about the kind of character traits you would want in a partner or the knowledge you want to gain. Then pick a person, famous or close to you, whom you think matches up with what you’re looking for…</p>
<p>Yeah, tutorials are courses, actual courses, with two students in the class at one time. They mainly include intensive discussions.
