Expressing Your Vision - The First 13 Pages

I've just gone through the first 13 pages of "Expressing your vision".

My first thought is "...well landed in UK academic world...".

In all my life I have studied in different levels, different discipline (humanistic, technical, artistic, professional, even sports). But always in Italy and a bit in the USA.

It was several years ago, so I cannot say if all the differences I find are related to the considerable lapse of time passed, communication & technology, or if the methods are really different from nation to nation.

I believe it is a bit all of these aspects: how I've seen the study methods applied to my children in the last years  confirms that.

In any case, my understanding is that:

• research and collection of different sources are a crucial point;
• nowadays, phisical books are just a small part of all sources (I should be well aware of it, since I work in ICT);
• Learning is not a serial process anymore and it is multi-source, but, at the same time, it needs a lot of self-control and discipline in order not to be diverted, surfacing  or go out of the edge. As we say in Italy "...knowing so little of many things ends up in knowing nothing of everything..."

 By now I am essentially: surprised, excited, worried, eager to go on.
