Building the Foundations of a Curious Student

How can we as faculty faculty turn time spent responding to questions like, “Will this be on the test?” into time spent diving deeply into critical issues that capture their and our imaginations? In this conversation we explore what obstacles students might have in engaging their own curiosity, and our role in helping students remove them.
