In this freshman-level course with over 24 of us teaching from different disciplines, we will mention the important subjects of time management, study skills, creativity, healthy habits, memory skills, Internet use, and ethics. The issue is somewhat simple. We need to teach this Second Wave generation not only about business, for example, but also how to read the textbooks, absorb the lectures, and produce the computer-generated assignments. I don't expect the situation to be easy, but it means the oath we took as college teachers can be more readily realized. The Portland State University experiment in general education may work, given time.
Time is a considerable healer of curriculum change.
