Swat profs help students "learn how to learn"?

That does not mean every professor at Swat is like that. But the emphasis at Swat (at least my son says that) is to make a good student into a sharp critical thinker who can do well in life, no matter what the major. Since the classes are small (and let’s not bring UChicago into the picture here, we’re only discussing Swat), there is no place to hide. Swat also attracts a certain kind of kid, who actually WANTS to do this. So, the way I see it, classroom discussions are immensely exciting.
