When talking about how too many students perform for grades I could definitely agree from prior situations, but I hadn't experienced anything in college yet. After being here for a term I have finally seen it. Being a biochemistry major I get a good look at the science majors that I study and have class with. We all seem very uptight about class and tests and seem to miss that spark in life at times that is supposed to make learning fun.
In high school it was always annoying to me when I was asked about my scores on tests and then compared to others and their results. I know what your thinking, and your right. I have just today encountered the same thing and it bugged me. My grades are my business, period. Its not that I was mad, more entertained by the fact that we had discussed this type of occurrence in IS.
Congratulations Professor Wright...Your doing your job well. :)
Well, thank you, Josh. Some would not agree with you. :-) You are doing your job well too as you delve into the deeper thinking that is inherent in becoming a liberal learner.
