"A Scholarly Approach to Producing Meaning in the

There are certainly occasions where discovery learning or ill-defined tasks are specifically planned, but there is also a need to think about reflect upon what is really happening when a faculty member gives an exam or assigns a paper with very little indication of what the student should do to be successful.
