Professors tell students: Drop class if you dispute man-made climate change


Quote:No it's just your inability to understand.  Studying professors is harder than studying the course material, and I did both.  When I said, "Get straight A's and learn nothing", did you really think that meant literally, "learn nothing"?  I learned the course material, learned the professor, and learned how to be successful as measured by the grading system. 

 

But learning is much more than stroking the ego of your teacher and much more than repeating what you are told.  I've said before I couldn't really learn about the world until I unlearned much of what I already knew.  A formal education is a form of indoctrination.  How can anything new be learned or discovered if one only parrots the textbooks?
 

So you took classes that you already knew all the material on?  Wow, that was never the case for me...  There were some courses that I knew some material from HS at the 100 or 200 level.  But even those courses had new material that I had never read, leaned, or been introduced to...

 

As for your second point...  Learning a science is all about parroting from textbooks.  How else can you learn it?  That makes no sense to me.
