But there are so few good lecturers, and stimulating text-books are so scarce, that the study of information at first hand has plenty of room in which to expand...
...student is asked whether or not he believes it was a sound one and the reason for his opinion. In others the facts are presented and the student is expected to work out a possible solution by applying the principles which have been developed from the lectures, text-books, and other assigned reading in the course.
