The American Studies Center is a place of dynamic learning. We respect our students and listen to them. We believe that true understanding is reached in open dialogue, by confronting controversy and coming to one’s own conclusions. As a student, you will be exposed to many views on every issue, many readings of every text - it is up to you to come up with your own. Rather than forced to memorize endless facts, you will be asked - again and again - to read and think for yourself. In the process, you will find that many ideas you have taken for granted are up for debate. www.asc.uw.edu.pl
