[QUOTE="GTpdm, post: 948893, member: 1451"] You get it. Sadly, not everyone does. Student: Why do I have to learn all this integration stuff and memorize all these physics formulas? In the real world, I can just look all that stuff up. Me: Explain to me why an employer should pay top dollar to hire a GT graduate, when a UAB graduate—who also has your TI-84 calculator, by the way—can look things up just as well as you can? You need to be better than that, and it starts here. I consider it my job to push students out of their comfort zone, and make them HAVE to be better than they were when they came to Tech. Otherwise, what am I doing? Rubber-stamping their high school experiences as being equivalent to a college education? I thought that was (u)GA‘s forte. [/QUOTE]
