There is a problem with post-secondary education.
In the courses where rote memorization and regurgitation are the requirement, I'm a C+ student.
In the courses where I'm forced to offer my own opinion and defend it, debate it, or critique someone else's work, I'm an A student.
That's a bit of a jump.
One would think that employers, and life would find the second skill more valuable than the first, yet most of the courses are of the C+ variety. That's probably why I keep telling everyone that I don't make a very good academic. I guess it's really that I don't make good sheeple.
