I thought this preamble was important: For many years I have conducted a
survey in the non-majors biology
courses I taught before we begin the topic of evolution.
If the survey results would be the same after the course, they need a new
teacher. I think you could find similar results for other courses where
the students had no prior knowledge of the material. Who was buried in
Grant's tomb? Unless a typical high school student had studied American
history, how would he know? (My daughter is a typical high school student,
so I have special insight.)
You would think a college student would be better prepared, but Howard said
his friend taught at a "state" university. Ah, what state?
