Media bias. Again. Why haven't they posted McCain's syllabi?

I realize her post was made in sarcasm. I followed in her path. I think you misunderstood my post.

Okay... I'm not going to challange you, but from following the comments at the times, one gathers that the most important thing a person was taught in his class, was critical thinking.

Well yeah, that's pretty much the point of most history papers as well.

College has changed for the better. My recollection of history class is of reguritating facts, rather than stretching the mind. This is why I gravitated to the sciences in college.

I'm exhausted and stupid. What does this mean? I'm not hearing the music. Also, I didn't say I studied tech in college. We didn't really have "tech". Yes, I am that old.

I may have ended up in what we know of as tech today, but it was by sleight of hand.

My college career went pre-med > archaeology > geology > wife & mother drop out.

It was a little jingle or something during PBS kids programming.

Apparently that little message from the National Science Foundation didn't do the trick. Only about 7 percent of US college graduates are engineers, compared to 40 percent of chinese college graduates.
