<p>For those with limited time, here are my recommendations for what to take a look at:</p>
<p>[ul][li]Introduction and Ch. 1 (History of GISP) – This will give you an idea of the historical context for curricular reform at Brown.</p>[/li]
<p>[li]Ch. 9 (Proposal for a Philosophy for Brown) – This is the student-centered educational philosophy that the group formulated for Brown. To this day, the curriculum at Brown closely tracks this philosophy.</p>[/li]
<p>[li]Ch. 18 (Grading & Evaluation) – This section was so important that they gave it a separate bibliography. It’s a great summary of the arguments against traditional grading. </p>[/li]
<p>[*]Ch. 15-16 (Proposals for Curriculum) – This can be a bit tough to slough through, but it’s interesting to see how different the adopted curriculum was from what they proposed. This contrasts with their philosophy, which was adopted very closely (as mentioned above).[/ul]</p>
