Educational Experience

2 pages each one see attached #1 In this week’s reading we hear from three different perspectives on the purpose and importance of higher education in the USA. The writers lay out what they believe as far as the worth of a college education and the place of higher education in the lives of individuals and within the larger scope of American society. What do you believe? Why is college important? Considering what you believe, how should higher education change in the future? Consider different aspects of college. How should access to college change? Should we change what students are required to study? Should the style of education change? How about the way students are evaluated? You may even wish to consider the educational experience before college.  #2 In this week’s reading, we discover Carl Rogers’s ideas on communication. This includes his statement that when emotion is most present it is also most difficult to see things from another perspective. Using either your personal experience or  a current issue and explore how strong emotions can get in the way of understanding people with opposing views.
