My Final Report

An impressive and comprehensive report on this project. Cynthia Dettman has demonstrated unusual insight both into the opportunities afforded to women enrolled in Indian colleges and into some of the problems they may encounter as proponents of Student Centered Learning. Ms Dettman’s first-hand knowledge of Tamil language and culture is one of the unique qualities that she brings to bear throughout this project. Willingness to enter into this relatively new educational trend is a tribute both to the students and to the Institutions that have become increasingly open to critical thinking in recent decades. Ms. Dettman’s willingness to return to India to reinforce her goals and to follow up with students is also commendable.
