In an essay that covers a range of pedagogical issues, Dale M. Bauer describes the following classroom incident. It’s the end of the semester and Professor Bauer is conducting a review discussion. “I end the semester by asking detailed questions about the concepts that inform and unite the books we have read; because I don’t give a final exam, this review gives me a chance to bring the nine novels we have read into some kind of dialogue with each other.” (p. 159)
