Hi. Dennis Paoli, University of Wisconsin Class of \u201969. You know, the golden age. \u201cBliss it was in that dawn to be alive\/But to be young was very heaven!\u201d\u00a0 Wordsworth was writing about the French Revolution, but he must have gone to Madison in the 60\u2019s. In my four years, the football team won one game (that<\/em> was a party). The band could barely make a W (we didn\u2019t jump around so much as hop from foot to foot to keep warm). And the defining moment of my college experience was walking out of class into a cloud of tear gas. Good times.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t read much about our class in the alumni magazines; they just don\u2019t run a lot of stories about long-haired pot-smoking protestors, much less free-loving acid-dropping hippies. And truth be told we didn\u2019t leave much of a mark on the campus or the city. The house I lived in senior year on West Washington has long since fallen down and disappeared, and they built the Kohl Center on the lot where we used to spend Spring Sundays playing ball. A few of the protestors went on to change the practice of law so it\u2019s less likely we kill the innocent, and a few of the dealers helped create the conglomerates that feed the media and sell us worthless real estate, but except for them and Soglin, we don\u2019t seem to have accomplished all that much. Sure, a few of us\u2014maybe a few more\u2014are on the radio, in the papers (how quaint), in imdb and Wikipedia, but who isn\u2019t? And maybe we made the Vietnam War harder to prosecute and ultimately shorter than it might have been, and made the wars that followed, like the ones we\u2019re in, more subject to citizen scrutiny and stricture. Maybe.<\/p>\n

But damn, we had fun. And damn, we got a good education. And damn it if those weren\u2019t the same thing. Two of the great lessons I learned at the University of Wisconsin were that learning stuff could be fun and that having fun could teach you something (and yes, protesting was serious fun). Oh, I learned lots from sitting in a lecture hall listening to Madeleine Doran read Shakespeare or Lee Dreyfus (yeah, the red-vested Governor guy) read Peanuts. And hanging from the rafters listening to Harvey Goldberg rhapsodize on Danton. \u201cBliss it was.\u201d But I learned half of what I learned in Madison from explaining Hamlet\u2019s hang-ups to, borrowing the latest R. Crumb comic from, and arguing the ideals and realities of revolution with other students. Who didn\u2019t?<\/p>\n

I have taken that certainty with me, that the best education is communal, challenged and shouted and shared, to my life\u2019s work at Hunter College in New York. It\u2019s why I run a Writing Center. For urban public college students, whose days are a blur of commuting and working and watching the buffer circle spin waiting for the wi-fi to kick in, with classes thrown in there somewhere, a Writing Center might be the only place they spend time, maybe the only time they spend all day, talking about what they read, what they wrote, what they learned with\u2014well, with anybody. And if they can talk through that piece of writing (theirs or some other author\u2019s) with another student, who understands first hand their struggles, who is an authority in the challenges they share, they\u2014the student writer and the tutor\u2014can learn those great lessons I learned in the Rat, on the Terrace, marching up State Street to the Capitol.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t worry, Dennis. The social media\u2019ll take care of that.\u201d Amen, and maybe, and here I am blogging, right? But excuse me if I reserve my uncritical embracing for friends and Chinese food (and even then it\u2019s not so uncritical). Yes, the internet is the knowledge technology of the age, of the ages, collecting all the facts in the world (www.factual.com<\/a>, which \u201ccurates\u201d and \u201ccanonicalizes\u201d data), organizing our discoveries (goo\u2022gle, vb: to Google), writing our papers (that\u2019ll cost you money). I have followed many a link to many a lecture (there\u2019s usually an entertaining one at http:\/\/comment.rsablogs.org.uk\/videos\/<\/a>). The word has never been more powerful\u2014the keyword, the password, the pleasure of the text. Facebook\u2014it\u2019s a book, man!<\/p>\n

\"Helen
Helen C. White Hall was not built yet. In 1968, Stuart Gordon's Screw Theater Company performed Titus Andronicus as a post-apocalyptic dumb show on the rubble of the previous building on the spot. Later that summer, Screw Theater did the famous "naked" Peter Pan; is it still famous? (photo from University Communications)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And in those halls where Prof. Doran\u2019s voice intoned genius, Shakespeare\u2019s and hers, teachers now powerpoint, i.e. bullet point, their lectures and student participation is clicking in class. Sure, there are viable, wonderful ways to use these platforms for learning, but it takes best practices, and who has the patience to practice? Quick\u2014grab some ConcepTests and start with the Peer Instruction, \u201can entirely new approach\u201d (Amazon) to STEM discipline teaching \u201ccreated by\u201d Eric Mazur of Harvard (brand name). Anybody know if Prof. Mazur ever worked at or went to a Writing Center, where \u201cto teach by questioning rather than telling<\/a>\u201d has been the mission and the method for more than half-a-century? (Perhaps he visited Helen C. White Hall from 1996-1998 when he was on the National Visiting Committee of UW\u2019s New Traditions Project, charged with \u201cRevitalizing the Undergraduate Chemistry Curriculum.\u201d Do you know if he stopped by, Brad?) And now that higher education, at last, like K-12, is student-centered\u2014and we know this because the phrase \u201cstudent-centered\u201d has been shoe-horned into every college mission statement and university strategic plan within an administrator\u2019s reach, appearing somewhere between \u201cresearch institution\u201d and \u201cworld-class faculty,\u201d not far from \u201cflagship\u201d and \u201cdigital literacy\u201d (remember \u201cdiversity\u201d?)\u2014shouldn\u2019t the Writing Center community get some of the credit\u2014I would argue most of the credit\u2014for this \u201clarge scale educational change\u201d (Turn to Your Neighbor: The Official Peer Instruction Blog<\/a>)? The Mazur Group techniques are indeed, as they tell us on their Web site, \u201cinnovative teaching methods,\u201d but they\u2019re old hat at Writing Centers.<\/p>\n

There is no educational platform so interactive, so user friendly, so just-in-time as a peer tutor. They only help, whether it\u2019s through coaching, instructing, advising, contextualizing, commiserating, questioning (never \u201ccanonicalizing\u201d). \u201cStudent-centered\u201d is redundant when used in reference to a Writing Center. And truth be told, if we could only know it, education has always been student-centered, for every student is at the center of her learning experience, in the middle of confusion searching for understanding, and he takes that center with him, up the hill and down into the subway, to the bar and to the movies, online and in dreams. Students learn everywhere; we certainly did.<\/p>\n

\"The
The Dow Chemical Protest (photo from University Archives)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That is Jeff Lustig\u2019s point in \u201cThe University Besieged<\/a>\u201d, his rallying cry to faculty to resist the corporatization of the academy. He quotes the same lines from Wordsworth, too, recalling his student days at Berkeley. His education was \u201cspecial,\u201d he claims, because it was \u201cthe product of two realms: the classroom and the plaza.\u201d I am not as concerned with the marketplace model of education prevailing as Prof. Lustig is, primarily because I am more cynical and recognize that it won the field long ago. That cloud of tear gas I walked into in the Fall of 1967 was set off to disperse students protesting the Dow Chemical Company recruiting on campus. But I am concerned that the plaza has shrunk (not the tavern, I\u2019m happy to learn\u2014extra sauce on the side, please). Course management software lets faculty \u201clecture\u201d students 24\/7, wherever; my friend Joan Mullin at Illinois State has likened the capacity CMS gives colleges to monitor students to Bentham\u2019s panopticon. And economic pressures have forced students into decisions and behaviors that tend to narrow the focus of their learning to what gets them a grade, a credential, a job. (One of my course objectives in all my classes is to teach my students something they will never<\/em> use on the job.)<\/p>\n

Two friends from college and I were trying to write a screenplay about our time in Madison. Who hasn\u2019t? We called ours \u201cVery Heaven.\u201d\u00a0 We couldn\u2019t finish it because we couldn\u2019t fit all the bliss in, and because we\u2019re still, some better part of us, trudging up the hill to class. But writing together was fun. \u201cOh! pleasant exercise of hope and joy!\u201d That\u2019s the first line of Wordsworth\u2019s poem, and it\u2019s what I think, and feel, when I stand in the open door of our Center and watch students working together to express their best thoughts, searching, not for information, but for their best selves. We need to give them the room.<\/p>\n
