What engaged or excited you most about learning when YOU were a student?

Projects, especially senior thesis - these allowed you to do something meaningful and still resonate learning and growth from 40 years ago. I remember this truth - when the Decision analysis project started, early on everyone was malleable and you could drive the process, but as investment in what we have done, team members wouldn't budge. It is like life - more invested the more conservative and less risk-taking people become.
