Why Are the Humanities Disappearing
Moocs on the March
Mohammed Gad-el-Hak makes a compelling point when he argues that “learning is a social process.” Presumably social beings require interaction, human exchange to flourish. This point applies to the Internet as well as the classroom. Moreover, MOOCs (massive open online courses) are a corrective for a system that has ossified behind a shield of social exchange. In far too many cases, a degree is little more than “seat time” in the accumulation of c…

The Tenured Left has substituted a zany political ideology for genuine scholarship, rendering their work worse than useless. The larger world still consults professors in the natural sciences, economics, law, and business, but apart from those fields, who any longer pays attention to what professors think? Yet the professors h…
