There was an interesting article on CNN.com yesterday that spoke of the effectiveness of a college education in the U.S. In the article you read how “time” is how we measure a secondary education. To get a Bachelor’s degree, you need 180 semester credit hours. But is measuring credits enough to grant someone a degree of mastery? If a student needs a specific number of credit hours, no matter his/her professional or academic background, are the credit units enough?
Give it a read!
