yes, i want my students to learn u.s. history to be better citizens but more importantly i want them to learn skills like organization, critical thinking, collaboration, self motivation, etc. that is where i spend the most time. you aren’t going to get those kinds of skills from the internet.
If you think that professors exist as repositories of knowledge that students ask for answers, you’re missing the entire point of a college education.
We’re here to teach students how to do research, how to analyze and argue, how to think for themselves — how to find the answers on their own.

Wow. Just wow.
