The reason for this is that modern state universities tend towards socioeconomic l, gender, and racial/ethnic diversity.

It's not so much knowledge of stuff as being forced to be around different kinds of people.

Biggest reason to not want Crockett to go for Senate is I like her in House

Why would they take the case at all if it's so open and shut? Is there a reason to not just let lower rulings stand on this?

Yep, the floor is somewhat lower for the worst students but the good kids are still interested in learning, even if it sometimes feels like their abilities aren't totally where they should be. The best ones remain much better than I was at their age!

Yeah, for my world surveys I've defaulted to three in-class tests and then some primary source analyses. Last semester I also did the latter in-class using groups, but the results were mixed and I'm still deciding on how to approach it for next semester. Classes are anywhere from 40-120.

I think 2008 might have been the year we went to see JJ's Cro Mags in Hollywood? They opened with a Who cover, so would fit right in with this.

I actually don't think I've ever heard this! Sort of reminds me of Mind Eraser... with the unmistakable Think I Care vocals. Sick.

Fuck, Downpresser's Perverted Justice EP was 2008 too.

This was my freshman/sophomore year so lots of good shit. Did TT "Plagues" come out in 08?

Fucked Up, Ceremony, Trapped Under Ice, Blacklisted, Trap Them all had solid albums in 2008. Have Heart, too, but I don't think that's your style lol
