It was cross-listed so I got non-business majors in the course as well as the usual array of would-be accountants, marketer, financiers, and actuaries. Over time I noticed a few trends in student performance: the engineering and actuarial majors always clustered at the top of the grade range, while the education majors and journalism majors clustered near the bottom of the range. just above the education majors and journalism majors lay the psychology majors; everyone else were distributed toward the middle and upper middle of the grade range.<br /><br />I wonder if some researcher might be willing to do a study on that observation.TOFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14234091783167165660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820485.post-46716356706394547492011-07-21T16:57:55.952-04:002011-07-21T16:57:55.952-04:00Poor Cuntessa.

She certainly shouldn't attempt to "educate" someone like Congressman Brooks. <br /><br />But in all fairness, I bet that Tim Geithner also knows a few things about economics. I'd wager that the 235 economists (including five Nobel Laureates) who wrote congress about the debt ceiling know a little bit, too. <br /><br />I claim no expertise myself... but it's not like everyone with an economics degree is lining up behind Congressman Brooks.AF_Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03455227662489834415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820485.post-44133127572062186822011-07-20T18:10:51.830-04:002011-07-20T18:10:51.830-04:00With a name like Contessa I'd say she's be...With a name like Contessa I'd say she's been handicapped throughout her life.
