To kick off the year – let’s look at students’ mindset

             It helps us all to remember just how much our students’ life experiences have been different from our own.  To this end, Beloit College publishes a yearly list of reminders for their professors which I thought you would enjoy as we head back to school.

            For instance, from the Mindset List for the Class of 2011

1. What Berlin Wall?

10. Pete Rose has never played baseball.

16. Women have always been police chiefs in major cities.

53. Tiananmen Square is a 2008 Olympics venue, not the scene of a massacre.

For the complete list (as well as lists from previous years) http://www.beloit.edu/mindset/2011.php.

Enjoy!
