Unemployment, student loan debt, and protest are colliding with rising education costs, endowment building, branding wars, and labor outsourcing. At this tumultuous moment in higher education, this course asks students to reflect on the fate of liberal arts education through a focused analysis of its past and present. Specifically, how do economic pressures and technological […]
I think the debate about incorporating video games into the classroom is very interesting. Having a class where students can play educational video games would be fun for students, but I think that professors would need to tackle the difficult task of making this game effective at educating students. I think that these games can […]
I agree that it was very interesting to see how Dr. Chi framed his presentation, and exciting in a sense to imagine that liberal arts institutions will be introduced in Taiwan. I think that encouraging students to have a broad education that gives them tools to critically think and express themselves are important anywhere. I […]

Stop Dissing the Humanities David Kipen feels that Obama’s support of the STEM Program is hurting the appeal of the liberal arts. Agree or disagree? Just thought it would interesting.
Prof. Chi on Monday explained his project to create a liberal arts institution in East Asia and he claimed that many Asians do not know or see the potential of a liberal arts education. I believe in some respect this is true. I attended a private high school on Guam whose school population was majority […]
I agree with the general consensus that professor Chi was enjoyable to have in our class this monday. After a lot of thought though, I don’t think I agree with his mission for a number of reasons.

The presentation was somewhat surprising to me because, initially, I never would have associated Asia with the liberal arts. As a Boston resident, I seen tons of Asian tourists visiting some of the top […]
Before Professor Chi’s talk on a liberal arts institution in Asia, I had never really considered the fact that this type of education was not found worldwide. I feel that the if he is successful in his efforts, many Asian students will greatly benefit from the liberal arts. I thought it was really interesting how […]
This was a very easy reflection to respond to. I’ve noted numerous times in class that if a student wants to be completely financially independent and have opportunities post-graduation, their best option during college it so pick a STEM field. Some people actually seem to get offended when I say this, but it’s no news, […]
I really enjoyed having Dr. Tsung Chi come into class on Monday. I believe that the issue he is facing is very important in China and Taiwan, simply because China and Taiwan have been extremely economically driven since the 1970s. It’s important for students to receive a general education, and I wish his plans were […]
