3

Good day yesterday. Only two more nights to sleep in my Kellogg bed, which looks and feels like it was made from foam rubber and duct tape.

Hunter spoke for the entirety of yesterday's session. The morning was primarily on the idea of I-E-O, which stands for input/environment/output. The idea is that when comparing two schools, one should take into account all three factors. Two schools that both graduate 90% of their nursing students might not be equal if one accepts students with significantly lower GPAs.

The most interesting thing he said in the afternoon was that he's never been able to find any correlation between a person's degree and their success in teaching (as measured by getting students to pass subsequent college level courses). He said one of the best teachers he's ever come across was a math teacher in New Mexico whose only credential was a BA in philosophy.
