Prompt:In Seneca’s letter “On Liberal and Vocational Studies” he fully rejects the notion that the purpose of education is to prepare a student for a vocation, a job, a means of making a living. He argues that the only study worth pursuing is the attainment of wisdom.In the essay “Who are You and What are You Doing Here?” the author suggests that college represents the only opportunity for young people to “find themselves” and, therefore, argues that students should pursue subjects that interest them regardless of the possibility of ever making a living in those fields.However, the summary of government job data detailed in “Why Did Seventeen Million People Go to College” that students–and all of us through taxes–have wasted trillions of dollars obtaining “pointless” degrees to eventually work in occupations where degrees are not needed.As noted in the Week 10 Discussion Board, nearly all students offered a “free” grade in a general education course without having to attend classes or do the work opt to take the grade and skip the course.So, what exactly is a college education now, what exactly should it be, and where do we go from here? More specifically, in America today what exactly should the role of a college education be?

Write one paragraph with a topic sentence that states which evidence in Tedford’s article was more effective, his personal experience or the scientific study he describes.To make your point clear, you will need to repeat his point and sum up the evidence in your own words. You may also quote something from his article.***HERE IS the first time the signal phrase is your friend! I expect to see at least one.Your paragraph must also discuss why you found this evidence more persuasive. Does it match your personal experience? Do you just believe him because of the way he describes it? Is the science a better example to you in some way? Or some other reason for your choice? There’s no right answer; you’re just thinking about why you think what you think.THEN, write a second paragraph where you state whether you agree with Tedford’s point. (Right, that’s NOT the same thing as evaluating his evidence! A reader could see he has good evidence and still not agree with him.) Why do you agree or disagree with his point of view? Here you may use your own personal experience or opinions to explain and support your response to his point of view.

Edit the quote as you see fit including a signal phrase. Use double quotation marks on the whole quote – when words are quoted within, set those quotes off with single quotation marks. Wrap up then spending a few sentences discussing the important words and values that Fascell’s words express about how Congress thought about their responsibilities on this momentous occasion. Don’t forget the proper parenthetical citation!“Representative Dante B. Fascell of Florida remembers [the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution] that way too: ‘The President needed the authority.
