Hi, need to submit a 1750 words paper on the topic Investigating Professional Education Settings. “Make your lives extraordinary!” says the Robin Williams character, John Keating who encourages his students to follow their passions. He is an unconventional teacher who encourages his students not to follow by rote learning methods but to follow their passions and to learn to think for themselves.
