Last Wednesday, the Rose Café speaker was professor Daniel Schwarz who discussed his latest book How to Succeed in College and Beyond: The Art of Learning. I thought it was interesting that he came to speak to us as the semester is coming to an end and final exams are just around the corner. Just a coincidence. Anyway, One key takeaway from Schwarz’s discussion was to try and take classes with the best professors. This is something that I myself have come two realize in my almost two years of college even at different universities (transferred from Fordham University this last Fall). A good professor, even if the subject matter is dull, can make a class more interesting resulting in more intrigue in the class and a better overall experience. One critique of the lecture, however, is that Schwarz at one point spent a lot of time talking about different admissions statistics and the process of getting into a good college. We’re already in a pretty good college and I don’t think we want to hear about SAT scores any more. Overall it was a very informative lecture that provided insight on how you should approach your college experience.
