Re: Stupid students who dont know they are stupid
Honestly, the politically correct solution is to offer a course in Logic in Theology that would satisfy the senior level requirement, taught by someone who is sympathetic to creationists.

Re: Stupid students who dont know they are stupid
I studied that subject once upon a time, and out senior seminar focused on metaphysics/ontology. It was one of my favorite classes. I'm sorry your class isn't working out like that.a_smith wrote:high school, ha. i could deal with it then and you should tell me to just suck it up as the kids are still developing cognitively. Nope I teach at a university. Without revealing too much I teach a discipline that focuses on logic, critical thinking and and ends in ___osophy. It is an applied class with some theory. Not too much because that doesn't work with the students at my school.

Why aren't we naming the discipline? Is it Philosophy?

Clearly it's anthroposophy... or it's cheirosophy... maybe gymnosophy... possibly theosophy, but it's definitely not philosophy.

Re: Stupid students who dont know they are stupid
When I was in college I often wondered how half the kids even got accepted. Then I realized that largely college is just a money grab. I'm sure your student will get her degree, just like everyone else these days and it will be largely meaningless like them as well.
I feel like education these days is just a given. If you bother showing up they are going to give you the degree. It's sad and I really feel for the educators. You couldn't pay me enough to put up with all the young ignorant ass [expletive] of the world.
