In one class, the students are told that they must make one pot each week. On Monday they are given fresh materials and on Friday they hand in whatever they have created.

In the other class, the students are given the task of making a single pot; and are given the whole semester to plan, design, make and perfect it.

Come the end of semester, the professor collects and marks the final set of pots. It becomes immediately apparent that his first class has vastly outdone the second – their pots are superior in every way.
