Citizen Studentship: The Responsibility of Learning Together
PALAMOUNTAIN 201
Faculty Sponsor: Roy Rotheim, Honors Forum

With the script, expectations, and goals of the curriculum provided, the authority figure
of a classroom seldom leaves space for students to incorporate their own sense of self,
creativity, and autonomy into the educational process. When given the opportunity to
design an entirely unique platform for learning, the pedagogy of an altruistic and
interdisciplinary environment can influence motivation, learning styles, and
reinforcement behaviors to fulfill the utmost heuristic potential of our human experience.
