In theory, you don't need college to learn much of anything. In practice, few people are going to correctly teach themselves discrete mathematics within a reasonable timeframe.
- duaneb 12y agoI disagree. I'm not sure what the added value of college is aside from graded evaluation.
- Kalium 12y agoA graded evaluation is valuable, agreed. I submit that instructors, peers, and an instructional environment are also of value in aiding the learning process.
- duaneb 12y agoAnd yet, people do not go to college for an education, they go for a degree. Which is useless for determining education.
- Kalium 12y agoThe degree is evidence of a graded evaluation, which is a proxy for education. Despite some propaganda to the contrary, it is not a zero-correlation proxy. Also, I don't know about you, but I went to college for an education. Which I received.
