ho Really Failed?

Dominique G. Homberger won't apologize for setting high expectations for her students.
The biology professor at Louisiana State University at Baton Rouge gives brief quizzes at the beginning of every class, to assure attendance and to make sure students are doing the reading. On her tests, she doesn't use a curve, as she believes that students must achieve mastery of the subject matter, not just achieve more mastery than the worst students in the course. For multiple choice questions, she gives 10 possible answers, not the expected 4, as she doesn't want students to get very far with guessing.

Ya see, I never believe that we're too far gone; I never believe that we're in too deep and we can’t get out. I don’t believe in surrender. I do believe in tolerance and compromise but even these have their limits. So, this blog is a test to see if i want to write a real blog. I'll post things I find interesting, or disturbing. I'll try to instigate conversation. I'll try to have fun and take a journey into humanity. I express my humble thanks to everyone that reads my words.
About Mr. Rogers
Semper Fi
Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
Sir Winston Churchill,1941
GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLs
Recently I have come to see that there are things I wanted to do in my life that I forgot to do!!!! There are also mistakes I have made that i want to correct, new things to do based on events that occured at one point or another in my life. So, I'll write em down here real fast and as often as I can I'll post a blog about them, one at a time.
