In Dean Shareski's blog post Encouraging Ownership, he talks about his evaluations done by the students. He says that about 80% of the time it is positive feedback, 10% are indifferent, and 10% it is negative feedback. He admits that sometimes this is his fault but sometimes it is just the student not taking ownership of his own learning. He uses the example of buying a house. When something breaks, the owner must take action to fix it or find someone who can fix it. He say that the house is just like your learning. You are responsible for your own learning. You can't just sit there and absorb the material, you have to be involved and ask question. So take ownership of your learning.
