I think you are part of the problem and not part of the solution!
“I think the LSU dean acted correctly, and admire his courage in overruling the professor.”
“I think you are part of the problem and not part of the solution!”
A large part of the problem is non-scientists who are never properly educated in the methods of science. Punishing people like that with ridiculously difficult exams and low grades will not resolve the problem. Al Gore reportedly got a “D” in such a course at Harvard, and look what happened to him!
Kudos to LSU’s Dean Kevin Carman for restoring some sanity to the classroom. It takes courage, and it happens so rarely.
