I would have to say that today's lecture/question and answer session with Dr. Kingsford, Dr. Dunning, and Dr. Robertson was awesome and informative. Today we discussed what education really is. It was interesting to note that Dr. Kingsford, the Dean of Education, could not really settle on an official definition for education. Basically, he said twenty different people would have twenty different opinions as to the definition of education; however, he did say that education is a never-ending process.
Dr. Dunning stressed the point of not just studying to learn for an exam, but study to retain. We concluded that this is a difficult practice to perform, yet could be done by extensive research and critical thinking.
Dr. Robertson definitely drove the nail in the coffin when he talked about how we should have a desire to learn because we cant truly follow the Greatest Commandment in Mark 12:28-31 unless we want to increase our intelligence. We should love God enough to do this.
As we study for and take our exams in college and basically whatever we do in life, we should heed Paul's writing to the church at Colossae when he said, "And whatever you do whether in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. " (Colossians 3:17)
