Many committee members voiced concern that access to study guides could discourage investment in course reading or detract from a student’s growth in a course.
Discussion moved to the UC’s proposed study guide tool, which UC President John F. Bowman ’11 pitched to the committee as a way to mitigate a perceived inequality.
For example, some committee members said that while the tool could promote collaborative learning in the sciences, it could become a shortcut for learning in the humanities if students split up reading assignments and read one another’s notes.
The committee also discussed “Crimson Commons,” a UC project that Chair of the UC Education Committee Joseph Kim ’12 said he hopes will become a student-run advising forum.
Committee members debated whether such a forum could start to compete with other advising systems that dispense similar information, an issue which Kim said he intended to address in future discourse related to the project.
