<p>I teach at the college level. Sometime during college, those who will go on to grad school need to learn that they are potentially responsible for all the knowledge in their field of interest–courses will contribute to that knowledge but they only really open some doors and hint at some windows and it is up to you to look through and discover what you need to know, how to learn it and how to apply it. You are embarking on a journey for a lifetime. It’s not just about racking up credits and grades. Even for those who seek jobs directly after the B.A., college should give you a sense that education is more than courses where you have to please teachers. That transition can begin in the freshman year and should be well in progress by junior year.</p>
