Methods and Curriculum
Students should study simply as they're still new and should not regimented into studying of facts rather than knowledge, wisdom or inner conviction.
Students should practice holistic learning rather than specialized so they can see things as a whole rather than a disjointed collection of parts. Holistic study also leads to a more liberal and scholarly attitude toward learning.
Students can also study using the dialectic method of learning. Through this critical method of thinking, individual could see thing en toto (in all/total).
