Science is Messy

---How people learn philosophy:
It appears as though Jerrid believes in a mix of structure as well as freedom. While his lesson is very organized and correlated, he still allows his students to freely give answers to the topic discussion. Jerrid also uses a strategy that sort of funnels the question down from a very large, broad topic down to a narrow and defined lesson. One of the essential questions was for the students to answer what makes science messy, and at first the students took it to very obvious levels of answers. However, Jerrid enabled a structure in the conversation and funneled the topics down to make the case and point of the lesson. Jerrid also uses a certain level of reciprocity in which he communicates back and forth with his students in an effective manner, and allows them to grasp the material being taught.
---How competency is developed:
 It appears in this classroom, competency is developed through dialog, as the entire lesson focuses on a reciprocating conversation between teacher and students. Observation was also used and was apparent when not only Jarrid had to observe his students and read what they needed in order to learn from the lesson, but the students also had to read what Jarrid was striving to achieve by asking the specific questions throughout the lesson. At a certain level, Jerrid also believes trial and error will develop competency because he threw many questions out to students and wanted to see where they would take the conversation.
