I like Michael's
observations on GI but his closing comments introduce yet another dimension of
GI and that is the devolving content of 'higher ed' courses. It's struck me that
grading may be just as well-distributed as ever yet what the students are being
graded on has become less and less demanding. Rather like the Hershey bar that
still costs a quarter (I wish!) but is now half the size of the original. I
don't blame the students -- I teach them from where they can be reached. I do
wonder about the change, though.
