Letter from Gen-noske
They have various academic backgrounds, for example, from theoretical and experimental physics, computer science, of law school, pharmacology, nursing, and anthropology to philosophy. We have white boards available in both different class room. And we can move their desk and chair for small conference.
Every class meeting our students are hearing the explanation of each professor's motive, practicing in discussion of small group (five or six members in each group), selecting facilitator and reporter, and summarizing for integrative discussion.
I agree that you chose the topics on "What is a community ?" -- I am more interested in the a bit more detailed question on "what is the community in which can communicate each other?" but it's more complicate by creating two or more topics; what community and communication are, and how about their interrelationship exists. So "What is a community ?" is simple but deep question for our students.
