- What do you think about the St. John’s curriculum?
- What do you think about how tutors must be able to teach in any part of the curriculum?
- “Aristotle knows you have to study everything. You can’t just go straight to metaphysics.” How does Dr. Hintze’s statement fit with the educational philosophy of St. John’s, where there are no majors and all students take a general liberal arts curriculum? How does her experience of having a philosophical revelation while in the lab support this?
- How would you feel about teaching subjects not in your “specialty,” as the St. John’s tutors do? What do you think of their ideal of keeping teachers on their toes by having them “struggling” to learn and teach less familiar subjects? How do you think it affects the faculty as a whole?
