Many students are learning nothing at B&M campuses.

I think that has something to do with the fact that being a deviant is standard.

 

Do you feel the harder classes are better? In other words, do you feel like the quality of education is higher, or like they are just giving you more busy work? Just from hearing about different peoples experiences, I sometimes think some of the lesser prestigious schools pile more work on students as a way to try to show how good they are.

 

I had a student come to me once because the syllabus said to read the chapter on X (I don't remember what) and he said "how am I supposed to know which chapter is on X?" So I opened the book to the table of contents and pointed to the one entitled "X". I swear, they have no idea what an index or a table of contents is and they absolutely refuse to use them. And we're talking law students, not undergraduates. Drives me nuts!

 

I'd be lost without the index, xD

 

That's because the iPhone does not have an app for that. Seriously. It seems that people are using electronic devices to think for them and without them, they are lost. They can use a search device but have no clue how to think for themselves and use an index. I still find it hard to believe that this person did not know about the table of contents, but I'm sure it's true.

 

Well, Capella University's course required average about 100 pages reading per week. In that reading include 2 chapters of the textbook, and some articles. It requires critical thinking by using Bloom's Taxonomy. Which I tend to learn more from reading and think critically about the program. In the other hand, Georgetown University's class simple as you go...no reading textbook. Just attend the lecture, take home exams or research paper. Usually group presentation is more heavily on the final grade.
