And 20 ahead of Ohio University. School of Mines is actually a good school. They are the second in the country Best Undergraduate Engineering Programs at schools whose highest degree is a doctorate. Every school has better departments then others. Shit you can go to Tri-C and get a good education, it's what you take out of it.

Vegas Pup, where did you go to school?

John Carroll University. But I am not the one pulling out my web-cock and attempting to show how cool I am because of the school I went to.

Top two criteria for evaluating schools for placement on the list?

Peer evaluation @ 25% weight & Retention rate @ 20%.

The peer evaluation I actually agree with but the retention rate (being based solely on numbers) is too easily skewed by how easily you can skate through this curriculum and graduate in 6 years or less. 6 years being the figure USNews uses, not me.

It's all crap, it's what you take out of the education.

When you type on a message board and act like an idiot, you should have thick enough skin to take some $hit.

"The Libs' fave," cal? Just because he pissed on Bush and the McCain/Palin farce doesn't make him any less of a conservative douchebag. It just means he has a brain, because which brained person didn't criticize those Mongoloids?

Anyway, sorry to derail this thread. Watching monkeys flinging poo at each other is pretty much all this forum's got left, entertainment-wise.

Also, I've always loved the "it's not where you went to school but what you got out of the education" line of thinking. Is this anything more than a complete Retard defense mechanism for not being able to get into good schools? Yes, I understand there are exceptions to every rule, but if you went to a better school than I did it is likely because you are smarter than I am.

Or maybe because you were a better athlete and the school made exceptions.

[calfoxwc]

Or a lot of other reasons. Smart doesn't necessarily tranlate into straight "A's"

and there are different types of learning.

Meanwhile, George Will is certain folks' hero, until he criticizes Obama et all, then...

he's back to being a piece of crap.

It's all bass-ackwards emotionalism and bias, with objectivity

left for other people who at least TRY to think critically.

economics/originating geographic locations dont factor into school selection mz the pussy? There a TON of 4.0+ students who dont go to any of the ivy league schools and opt for state colleges.

Will?

He seems pretty straight up and informed to me.

Is anybody who doesn't gobble Obama's knob a douchebag to you. us, proressives?

Cal's "different kinds of learning" actually made me laugh out loud. I would have read the rest of his post, but "it was too long."

Like I said, there are of course exceptions to any rule, but MAN it smells defensive in this dump.

[calfoxwc]

"sigh", oh great annoying refusenik, there ARE different kinds of learning.

Some folks learn by doing, some are visual learners, etc.... the ability to pick things

up varies in HOW they are most efficiently.

Wait, I'll go get some info on the subject for your edification...

[calfoxwc]

Well, it's been a long time since I used to know this stuff in detail:

3-2. Seven Methods of Learning

High Retention

7
5 senses

6
Direct Purposeful Experience
All real-life experiences
Projects

5
Simulated Experiences
Role-playing
games
Puppetry
Dramatized experiences
Use of video, AV equipment to record dramas

4
Observing Real Life
Field-trips
Models
Demonstrations
Exhibits

3
Audiovisual
seeing and hearing real situations via TV, etc.


2
Viewing Pictures
Photographs
Overheads

1
Visual Symbols
Books
Articles

Verbal Symbols
Lecture
Tapes
Discussion

Abstract --------------------------------------------> Concrete

Low Retention Retention increases as all of the senses and kinesthetic involvement occurs, i.e. moving from abstract to concrete.
