Thanks for educating us about this. I didn’t know about this before reading your post.

Yeah I think this is the case. We are all forced into a gamble as far as what the results or “outcomes” from our degree are concerned. The degree has to pay off.

Yeah totally! We should work even more during class breaks to optimize our performance!

Yes, good research questions are important for any successful project.

Interesting post. I’ve certainly lost my fair share of knowledge over breaks. It certainly makes breaks more fun though when you can just not think about school though. Our previous school district in Seattle started the school year the end of September so their finals were actually the week or two after break and I always felt bad for the kids since I know I would have forgotten everything by that point in time. Apparently they had something there though. Anyway, I can’t think of how you could help undergrads carry knowledge across semester breaks other than spring semester teachers giving work in advance, but that sounds awful. I guess that means we just need to be proactive and keep our brains active during our breaks on our own.

YES, I thought so as well….and I don’t even like baseball. LOL! The visualization is quite vivid. Thanks! Cheers, Lehi

Yes, I’m not sure what type of survey was conducted to obtain the data with regard to adjunct professors and graduation rates but I’m sure it was extensive. I would assume they need a few jobs to make enough money to pay bills……adjunct jobs are low salary positions. Cheers, Lehi

Without a question looking forward we must consider all options for employment…even adjunct if necessary. Lord knows our student loans won’t care if we are employed or not. I think making yourself most marketable by including teaching experience, research experience, and service experience on your resume is the best bet possible. Cheers, Lehi

Yes, weird would be an understatement. In the best case scenario it would be debilitating. I do believe his public presence will assist with the endeavor. Cheers, Lehi

Thanks for reading my blog!
Yes, as you mentioned, it may be very difficult to implement it but that would great if it is possible. For example, We have lots of similar needs and problems in the construction industry all over the world. I think they would be solved if the researchers and universities cooperate with each other in researching instead of separate and limited scope research; the results would be perfect (However, it may never happen :D).
