Reagen - Do you think the results would have been different for a school that has more emphasis on science and engineering?

Posted by Fuzzy (aka mrfuzzy) Sep 14 '12, 12:47

Harvard is known for business, law, and medical school. I wonder what the results would have been at CMU or MIT.

Responses:

Possibly? Most of the people in the class knew the answer, but again it sort of wasn't the point - Reagen Sep 14, 12:50 7
- If I knew to test the log and find that 50% of the mass comes from carbon, the answer would have come more easily. -- nm - Max Sep 14, 12:53 6
  - another part of the video was with an elementary school student before and after a unit on plants - Reagen Sep 14, 12:56 4
    - but that makes it sound more like a physics problem than a chemistry problem. - Max Sep 14, 13:01 2
      - I'd agree in principle, but that's not the dichotomy presented - Reagen Sep 14, 13:04
      - IMO, a college student should know that living things are mostly made of carbon and water. -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 13:02
    - totally agree with this, having taught biology to undergrads. - loosilu Sep 14, 12:58

they're a powerhouse in science (though more the natural sciences). -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 12:48
