After Harvard...
My professor for Universal Design used to make his students learn to juggle. Juggling is something that is challenging for most people and in this way his students would feel what it's like to be a learner. You'd get the feeling of it being really difficult at first, then one day it just makes sense and it clicks. You understand how learning often takes place by hitting a series of plataues, that it's not always linear or easy. I'm going to convey the rest of this is as if the professor is telling the story, roughly verbatim.
Some people complained and didn't like it. Some actually like it and got really good at juggling. I had one student who joined the circus after graduation. His parents weren't too happy about that.
So that's what you can do with an Ed.M. from Harvard. I was starting to wonder...
