Re: [tips] In the good old days

[michael sylvester]

Stat texts included practice problems but the answers to the problems were 
not at the back pages of the text.The answers were printed in a separate 
booklet and only the prof had a copy of the answers.

Re: [tips] In the good old days

[John Kulig]

My Mind,Brain,Evolution text has NO color photos (Linden's Accidental Mind), 
and costs about $20 used. I just told the class yesterday to know everything, 
and there are D grades. Three stat students stop in during my office hour 
almost daily ... am I stuck in a Twilight Zone time warp?? :-0

In the good old days: 

Students came to see profs during office hours 
Profs had only one test taking tip "know everything" 
Text books had a few black and white photos,the rest was left to the 
imagination which further enhanced cognitive skills 
A "D" was an honorable grade 
Profs were not dishing out "A" grade like hot cakes 

What else?

Profs had one or two paperbacks to complement the texts,I was introduced to 
Rachel Carlson's Silent Spring in Bio 101.
Gilbert Rye The nature of Mind (by a British prof) in History of Psych.

Heck, way back in 1959, I had an invertebrate zoology book that cost $101!  In 
1959!!  I've still got it.  I'm convinced that for that price it must be hiding 
the mother lode.

Make it a good day

Re: [tips] In the good old days

[Louis E. Schmier]

Women students were not taken seriously
Women students were taken advantage of
There were no black students
Special needs students were ignored and went unaccommodated
there were no or very few counseling services
Profs could and were often abusive in class
only 13% of those who graduated high school went on to college

The good old days were good because you don't want to remember the bad ones:  
history lesson.

Make it a good day
