Well, everybody,
We are through with Orange EXCELeration and ready to jump into IS 101. Hopefully, this will be a great forum in which to express our thoughts about the readings and content of the course. As you can tell, I was able to log in successfully to my account and have reset my password so hopefully the technical issues are over! The computer even worked in our class today, which was a true blessing.
Today we started to examine what it means to be a liberal learner. How does Giamatti's definition of being a liberal learner equate to what you have seen so far on the Wartburg campus? Do you think that the Wartburg Mission is attainable or too idealistic to achieve? Have you seen evidence that the mission of Wartburg is succeeding? It will be interesting to revisit these questions over time to investigate how your thoughts on these topics change.
Goodbye for now and I look forward to seeing you on Friday!

Giamatti's definition of a liberal learner is essentially learning due to a love of thinking. I have not really seen examples of this on campus. Most people do their learning because they are forced to through assignments. I think the mission is attainable for certain individuals but to expect all students to become this type of learner is extremely idealistic. I have not seen signs of success. Maybe all that is needed is more time for examples to present themselves.
