The document describes The Andragogy Modified Project (AMP), which focuses on independent and small group learning rather than traditional teacher-centered pedagogy. The AMP model involves three aspects: 1) small study groups where students from different majors meet to discuss topics of their choosing, 2) weekly group meetings where students give presentations on topics they are passionate about, and 3) independent learning where students pursue self-directed learning on any topic at any time. The goal of the AMP is to encourage lifelong learning by teaching students to take ownership of their education.
