Тем, кто готовится обучаться или стажироваться в американских или британских университетах, а также всем образованным людям , интересующимся не только своей специальностью, но также проблемами науки и научного мировоззрения, мы предоставляем возможность попрактиковаться в восприятии на слух лекций научного характера.На сей раз перед нами "научно-популярный" курс проф. Ричарда Вольфсона, посвящённый разъяснению двух концепций, в начале XX века изменивших представления об устройстве мира:
College Unbound: The Future of Higher Education and What It Means for Students What is the value of a college degree? The four-year college experience is as American as apple pie. So is the belief that education offers a ticket to a better life. But with student-loan debt surpassing the $1 trillion mark and unemployment on the rise, people are beginning to question that value. Is a college diploma still worth pursuing at any price?
The Shadow Scholar: How I Made a Living Helping College Kids Cheat
Last fall, a writer using the pseudonym Ed Dante wrote an explosive article in The Chronicle of Higher Education, confessing to writing term papers for a living. Technically, they are "study guides," and the companies that sell them-there are quite a few-are completely legal and easily found with Google. For about $10-20 a page, Dante's former employers will give you a custom essay, written to your specifications. During Dante's career, he wrote made-to-order papers for everything from introductory college courses to Ph.D. dissertations.
"Tough-minded, richly detailed, Christine Froula's engaging argument compellingly situates Woolf at the heart of modernism's Enlightenment project. 'Thinking is my fighting,' Woolf wrote; Froula brilliantly does the same, challenging us to take seriously Woolf's provocative assertion that 'this civilisation... depends upon me.'" -- Brenda R. Silver, Dartmouth College.
