A Critique of the Carnegie Essay on General Education: In Defense of Distribution.
Kramer, Martin
Change, v13 n8 p26-31 Nov-Dec 1981
The premise of "A Quest for Common Learning," which questioned the value of distribution requirements in 95 percent of U.S. colleges, is challenged. It is suggested that the varied academic disciplines demonstrate the pursuit of truth, and general education must immerse the student in a number of disciplines. (MLW)
