After s...Thanks for the honest posting here Roger. <br><br />After spending 15 years in the corporate world, I entered the world of higher education. At first I felt like a fish out of water and people in higher ed kept telling me that higher ed wasn't a business. Nonsense. <b>Higher ed *is* a business.</b> Unfortunately, I have to agree with you that <b>undergraduates are often not served very well</b>. Research trumps teaching...and if I had a vote, I'd separate those two functions completely. Teaching is way to tough to do it well if you approach teaching a course as an afterthought to one's research. <br /><br><br />Thanks Roger, <br />Daniel Christian -- Learning Ecosystems blog -- http://danielschristian.com/learning-ecosystems/French Bulldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09076681162777673698noreply@blogger.com
