Of course, it ...John - that's a good question. Of course, it requires asking: diversity about what? If you take the normative argument for free speech, it amounts to people benefit from hearing a different point for view from their own. Hence, there would be no benefit to free speech if everyone already had the same point of view from the get go. <br /><br />Diversity in prior experience is apt to create differences in point of view. One can learn from the different perspective and from the different information that others who are unlike ourselves bring to the table. In turn, our own worldview should grow and adjust to what we learned. There is economic value in having a fuller and more accurate perspective of what is going on. <br /><br />However, as I tried to argue in this post, there is little to no benefit created within an organization if people from diverse backgrounds fail to interact in a meaningful way. Those meaningful interactions should not be presumed to happen at the outset. There is hard work that needs to be done to get that to happen.<br /><br />There is a different argument for diversity, at least for public universities. This is to show that the admissions game is not rigged. In the background there is the discussion about whether standardized tests should be used to judge who gets admitted. In turn, there is the issue of whether with sufficient coaching a student can get a high score on the standardized test, even if otherwise the student is not so exceptional. So, the argument goes, parents from wealthy and upper middle class families game the system by getting this coaching for their children and then such children get admitted into top public universities in disproportionate numbers. Diversity then can serve as a counter force to this dynamic. <br /><br />I hope this is the sort of response you were asking for.Lanny Arvanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05597426421997599777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10727233.post-88931738122346662942022-04-28T15:47:12.598-05:002022-04-28T15:47:12.598-05:00Hi Lanny,

I know there are many variants of these rankings that are presumably data based, but I don't see how any of those get past the critique in this post, except by assuming the learning effect is small. <br /><br />That is not a good assumption, at least not in all cases.

But I wonder if you read beyond the first paragraph. <br /><br />I chose not to talk about confirmation bias and our reading news, watching it on TV, and interacting in social media in a way that does not challenge our prior held opinion. I only gave examples from long ago where it was the ad companies that created our biases to sell their products. Did you understand from my post that I was indirectly making reference to now? I was trying to do that without having Internet trolls make inflamed responses. <br /><br />Lanny Arvanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05597426421997599777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10727233.post-12209655502885269272020-09-04T06:15:15.825-05:002020-09-04T06:15:15.825-05:00"Other biases should remain in the background..."Other biases should remain in the background for now."<br /><br />Who even says that?<br /><br />This is what the problem is in the first place, one group thinking they are better than the rest.<br /><br />https://aab-edu.net/Shabanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658127172025682574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10727233.post-70130018605180939452020-04-11T04:27:29.752-05:002020-04-11T04:27:29.752-05:00Thank you for sharing your educational blogs, it i...Thank you for sharing your educational blogs, it is nice and very much useful.. <a href="https://insideracademy.in" rel="nofollow">Best Digital marketing course</a>D Phanchaladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11644673187095497433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10727233.post-16757399551742166802019-10-11T04:10:25.078-05:002019-10-11T04:10:25.078-05:00Very Nice Blog Post, keep writing and updating lat...Very Nice Blog Post, keep writing and updating latest content share. <a href="https://www.hitechinstitute.in/laptop_repairing_course.html" rel="nofollow">Laptop Repairing Course</a>Hi tech Institutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11638462290649871125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10727233.post-33112748124088419512019-10-07T12:58:24.781-05:002019-10-07T12:58:24.781-05:00Thank you for the comment.

Privacy is important. <br /><br />The math I'm using in class - so far - is mainly high school algebra. So being out of practice surely does matter, but level of prior preparation probably doesn't matter so much. Also, I think some people just come to believe that they are not math people, probably because they had some bad early experience and that became a permanent wound. <br /><br />The issue with the prior courses in Economics is not just the math however. It's also how they challenge students in thinking through what's going on or don't challenge them much at all. I'm afraid that too many of the courses are in the latter category. If you're not challenged by the material, then you won't grow as a consequence. In an individual case, that's how it will be, but when it seems to be happening broadly, I wonder if something can be done about it.Lanny Arvanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05597426421997599777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10727233.post-56468073066384982862019-10-04T18:50:59.121-05:002019-10-04T18:50:59.121-05:00I understand your displeasure with how students ar...I understand your displeasure with how students are behaving in this course. I will say that I am definitely part of the problem, as I have missed the last few lectures for non-reasons.<br /><br />I would like to address some of the points you made in this post because I find it very interesting.<br /><br />I took a statistics course online through the university last year. However, it was not completely self paced. There were three fifty minute lecture videos released a week along with one required homework sheet, and the midterms were all on set dates in Foellinger. This was the best class I have taken so far at this university. I struggle to follow along in lectures, so having the ability to scroll back and hear the professor explain a concept again was invaluable. I took the best notes I have ever taken in that class, and I feel like I understood the material in that class at the deepest level of any class before or since.<br /><br />In regards to the issues some students have with mathematics, I believe this is because the econ department only requires through calculus 1. This is not a good explanation, but it could mean that students haven't utilized math that much for a couple years. Lots of econ courses are plug and chug, so deeper meaning behind equations could be getting ignored.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10727233.post-56193872576076911472019-08-08T13:42:05.435-05:002019-08-08T13:42:05.435-05:00Well - maybe I'm not quite as over the deep en...Well - maybe I'm not quite as over the deep end as I thought. The Econ department contacted me about the I-9 form this morning. So I went in and explained to the person, who is new to the department, that I've been rehired many times in the past. She then did some checking and it seemed I didn't have to do the I-9 after all. It is a lesson though, in case we retire to some other location and I want to teach at the local university there. I will have to go through this rigamarole then. <br /><br />After getting home from campus I did the Jumble and wasn't stuck much at all, even on the word debtor, with the silent "b." So perhaps I was too hasty in inferring that a few bad hair days were an accurate forecast for the rest of my life.

So I would post your inquiry to Blogger help, where you might get an answer more in accord to what you're looking for. But I would say that good design aims to keep things simple. So you don't want to exceed the capacity of the form. Indeed, you want to stay well within it. Long questions might confuse the respondents. And too many alternatives in the grid probably is conveying a false sense of precision.

Her...Nathan - thanks for your response to my post. Here are a few further thoughts. <br /><br />There was another piece in the Chronicle a couple of months ago - <a href="https://www.chronicle.com/interactives/20190419-Fall-of-Reading" rel="nofollow">The Fall, and Rise, of Reading</a>. It depicted a fairly gloomy picture on that front. My sense is that avid readers may not require that much instruction on writing to "get it" but for non-readers, all the instruction in the world on writing may still be insufficient. So the learning writing and cultivating a taste for reading needs to happen in parallel. How to do that, I don't know, but that it needs to happen seems evident. <br /><br />Your comment about process is right on. Once process is considered the time the effort takes becomes more overt. Students are under the mistaken impression that they can learn (or, at least, they can get good grades) with only a modest amount of time invested. Writing well, especially for a novice writer, is time consuming, so it cuts against that. At least at first students will likely resist it because they can't carve out enough time to make it work. <br /><br />So, at least in the beginning, getting students to write is a slug. Eventually, the hope is that their intrinsic motivation takes over and then they want to write, as they find their self-expression rewarding and the feedback they get on their writing is something that engages them. Likewise, they want to read interesting pieces, to fuel their own imagination. I wish my batting average was higher in producing this sort of outcome. <br /><br />My economics background tells me that students have to give up something else to get the desired outcome. What is that something else? Is it taking fewer courses at a time? Spending less time socializing? I hope it is not sleeping less. That is a non-solution. We have to encourage the students to find a good solution, if that is possible.Lanny Arvanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05597426421997599777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10727233.post-43779290133806383882019-06-13T22:11:38.999-05:002019-06-13T22:11:38.999-05:00Dear Lanny,
Thank you for reading and thinking abo...Dear Lanny,<br />Thank you for reading and thinking about our essay, for writing a blog post about it and for emailing us about it. We appreciate all that. <br /><br /><br />Some too quick thoughts in reply are this:<br /><br /><br />First, it's surely true that readers aren't a homogenous group. Some readers will be able and interested enough to follow something longer, while other readers can't or won't. Some types of writings are fine for one audience, but not the other, and that can be OK: nothing has to be something to everyone. But I think it can be useful, and good, to often try to address both audiences: e.g., perhaps one could begin with a more accessible overview of the main ideas, that nearly anyone could grasp and benefit from, and then have a second section that develops these details for a more advanced reader. <br /><br /><br />Second, your concern makes me realize that the article by me and Bob was more about the writing product than the writing process. It might that, for many writers - especially beginners, they should be encouraged to write much, much more -- many more words, or paragraphs or pages - than what we expect the final product to be like. I can see all sorts of benefits for that strategy; it seems typically better than a strategy to encourage students to be nitpickers about every word along the way (as some more advanced writers might be!?). But, they can also be taught to rigorously edit this to something that fits that type of product we advocated for in that essay. <br /><br /><br />OK, these are some quick thoughts, which I hope are interesting and engaging. <br /><br />Thank you for your note!<br />Nathan Nathan Nobishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12152631338134046080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10727233.post-76930072510214914572019-04-19T05:30:14.244-05:002019-04-19T05:30:14.244-05:00Thanks for sharing in detail.Thanks for sharing in detail.look at this sitehttps://dentalchat.com/noreply@blogger.com
