Copyvio? See here and here.

  • Delete: If copyvio, then handle it that way. If not, this is borderline original research. It is an essay, so, whether it's citation stuff or not, it's a plea to readers to change to student-centered learning. BTW, I've done "student centered learning," and neither I nor the students were very fond of it. ("You're the expert, so why aren't you going to tell us what you know?")

  • Delete. Even if not copyvio, it has an agenda, so it is POV. Not one graf in the article is free of a POV sentence. - KeithTyler 19:14, Sep 15, 2004 (UTC)
  • This is an attempt to explain Malcolm Knowles' theory of adult learning which he called "Andragogy". His work dates back to 1978 so it can't exactly be called a neologism anymore. Since it's an attempt to explain a noted researcher's theory (which has been independently published and discussed enough to be notable), it's not really original research either. See, for example, [[1]] or[[2]]. If it survives the copyright investigation, keep and send to cleanup. Rossami 04:05, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Copyvio with [3] and reinforced by [4] (PDF, see page 10) dated 1996. It may have been contributed by the author, but I doubt it; the author would presumably have more to say on the topic. - KeithTyler 17:58, Sep 16, 2004 (UTC)
  • Yeah, I found it too, so I've deleted the text and slapped {{copyvio2}} on it. Bishonen 18:09, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
