Information recall is a big deal in the education world. I teach World History, and my classes are closing up their unit on the Renaissance and the Reformation this week, so they’re due for a test in the very near future. They’ll see the typical questions about Humanism and plenary indulgences, how the Black Plague helped contribute to the start of the Italian Renaissance, and how the invention of the movable type printing press helped Martin Luther’s ideas spread like wildfire throughout the German countryside. But they’ll also see a question about social stratification in Ancient Mesopotamia, one about the Twelve Tables of Roman Law, and one about Plato’s Allegory of the Cave.
