“I was a reasonably good student in college ... My chief interests were scientific. When I entered college, I was devoted to out-of-doors natural history, and my ambition was to be a scientific man of the Audubon, or Wilson, or Baird, or Coues type-a man like Hart Merriam, or Frank Chapman, or Hornaday, to-day.” MenScienceInterestNaturalDoorsStudentsCollegeTypeAmbitionChiefsFrankDevotedMy AmbitionWilsonNatural HistoryGood StudentsHart Book:Autobiography of Theodore Roosevelt Source: Autobiography of Theodore Roosevelt
“Online education, then, can serve two goals. For students lucky enough to have access to great teachers, blended learning can mean even better outcomes at the same or lower cost. And for the millions here and abroad who lack access to good, in-person education, online learning can open doors that would otherwise remain closed.” MeanPersonsTwoEnoughGoalMillionsTeacherDoorsStudentsCostLuckyAccessOutcomesOnlineGreat TeacherOnline Learning Author:Daphne Koller
“I suspect that, though Craig indulges in a bit of wishful thinking, playing taps for various critical approaches still quite far from death's door, he may well be correct that New Testament scholarship is more conservative than it once was. This has more than he admits to do with which denominations can afford to train the most students, hire more faculty, and send more members to the SBL.” ThinkingWellsMayStillsReligionBitsDoorsStudentsMembersApproachTrainConservativeVariousCriticalFacultySuspectsTestamentIndulgeNew TestamentScholarshipWishful ThinkingIndulge InDenominations Author:Robert M.

“Religion is a personal, private matter and parents, not public school officials, should decide their children's religious training. We should not have teacher-led prayers in public schools, and school officials should never favor one religion over another, or favor religion over no religion (or vice versa). I also believe that schools should not restrict students' religious liberties. The free exercise of faith is the fundamental right of every American, and that right doesn't stop at the schoolhouse door.” ShouldBelieveChildrenMatterHumorSchoolPoliticalParentReligiousPrayerLibertyTeacherDoorsStudentsExerciseTrainingFundamentalsVicesFavorsOfficialsPublic SchoolVice VersaPolitical HumorReligious Liberty Author:George W.

“I tell my students, it's not difficult to identify with somebody like yourself, somebody next door who looks like you. What's more difficult is to identify with someone you don't see, who's very far away, who's a different color, who eats a different kind of food. When you begin to do that then literature is really performing its wonders.” LooksKindDifferentNextLiteratureDifficultWonderDoorsStudentsColorLike YouPerformingDifferent KindsFar AwayLike YourselfDifferent Colors Author:Chinua Achebe

“Many of us who read the literature of social science as laymen are conscious of being admitted at a door which bears the watchword "scientific objectivity" and of emerging at another door which looks out upon a variety of projects for changing, renovating, or revolutionizing society. In consequence, we feel the need of a more explicit account of how the student of society passes from facts to values or statements of policy.” NeedsFeelsLooksFactsValuesLiteratureSocialDoorsPolicyStudentsBearsProjectsConsciousConsequenceAccountsStatementsVarietyEmergingObjectivityExplicitSocial ScienceLayman Book:In defense of tradition: collected shorter writings of Richard M.

“Arriving to class late is disruptive of the learning process. I think that it is disrespectful to both the instructor and the students.
