3. Judge the ideas.

The students themselves make an appraisal for or

against any idea.Only when students are

completely off track should the teacher

intervene.

4. Act.

The students do their work with the teacher as a

facilitator.

5. Adopt flexibility.

The students should be allowed to shift gears

and not follow an action path rigidly.
