"Burp Back" Education

I've never thought about education the way Dr. Strange describes it, but that is the way I have always been taught with the exception of classes such as this one and the rare history class in high school. "Burp Back" education isn't effective in my experience, because the only information I remember clearly I completed some sort of project on. In my opinion things like simply regurgitating information for tests and quizzes is what makes students dread school so much. It's always the same thing day after day. As teachers if we allow ourselves to make education more interesting by assigning projects and other things of that nature maybe our students will also be learning more effectively.
