French professor receives H.O.P.E
Students credit his Socratic approach
By Lynne McAdoo Kansan staff writer
The sixteen students in Professor Ted Johnson's humanities class sat in a conference room in the Spencer Museum of Art. Johnson made half of them face the wall and the other half view a multi-colored drawing. He then asked the students to describe the drawing to the ones who were turned around.
He walked around the room smiling as the students tried to describe how the picture sounded.
One student described it as a New York traffic jam; another student described it as a noisy playground. He gently prodded the students to try and form a mental image of the picture from the descriptions.
Andrew Rymill, Spring Hill senior, said that he thought the picture looked like a child's drawing that might be posted on a refrigerator.
"That's wonderful, develop that idea," Johnson fired back.
The discussion wandered to the topic of how the refrigerator might be the most important appliance in the house.
No one was taking notes in his class. No one raised a hand to speak. The students simply talked.
"The structure is completely different." said Kara Hill
