Context, "Cuckoo's Nest," and the Community College
Shafer, Gregory
Community College Journal of Research and Practice, v40 n1 p60-67 2016
The community college is an excellent place for the creation of a special, more empowering learning context. Unlike the university, where students are supposed to adjust to the world of scholarly erudition, the community college is the crazy academic brother that has the freedom to be different and to liberate students to build upon their own cultures and learning styles.
