Answer to Question 1
Answers should include current demographics (e.g., more women, lower-income
students, ethnic minorities), differences in patterns of education (e.g., more part-time
students, more working students, more career-based curriculum, greater importance
placed on financial benefits of getting a degree), and the differences in structure (e.g., higher enrollment in community colleges; more female and minority
instructors). Students' opinions will vary, but may include that any collegiate
education heightens cognitive skills regardless of where one goes to school; but
factors like the form of instruction and the cultural life of the school probably affect
cognitive growth.
Answer to Question 2
Dialectical thinking involves integrating an idea with its antithesis into a new idea.
Examples will vary, but they should demonstrate an understanding of integrating an
idea with its opposite. Dialectical thinking contributes to an evolving view of oneself
or of the world because no answer is ever final. Ideas are constantly being
synthesized with their opposites.
