That's interesting. I think that part of education for grown-ups necessarily
involves being acquainted with some pretty nasty stuff. As one of a number of
tutors in a Freshman Western Civ. course a few years ago, I had to "do" some

Another thing that might help: a few days ago I suggested the Nova program,

useful video for explaining the experimental method. It's also a wonderful

We were discussing careers in psychology and a few bits about things that
one should and should not do in an interview. One should is that the person
should find out a bit about the company and the job before the interview. A

Hi all:
Each semester, when discussing pseudo-psychologies, students bring up the
example of identical twins who "know" when something is wrong with the
other though they live miles apart from one another. I've tried the various
logical responses (chance, coincidence, after the fact, etc.).
Now that I have been following the thread on the purpose of a college ed,
I have been interested in how should an educated person behave?
any ideas about that?
