Thanks, Mike!

Those that know me realize that I am a huge Walt Disney World Fan. I love to visit Disney World but between trips I subscribe and surf a number of fan based sites, blogs, and podcasts. Because of technology there is a huge amount of information available online. In a future post I will share some of my favorites.

There is one person in particular I enjoy his thoughts and comments. His name is Mike Scopa. Mike formally posted regularly to Mouse Planet. He is one of the regulars on WDWToday, a fan based podcast, and now posts on Allears.net. Although he gets harassed about his age (which is very close to mine) he is know for Scopa Towers (the secret rename of Pop Century Resort) because of his belief of the quality and value of the resort. He is also a runner and gives advise to those who would like to participate on one of the running events that WDW hosts each year.

If you are a WDW fan I encourage you to check out Mike's posts. The most noteworthy is his keynote at Mousemeets titled "Why We Do What We Do", his personal narration of the Candlelight Processional , and his "Scoping the Parks" post titled "Thanks Walt".

Enjoy!

Introductory Course Makeovers

Here is a link to a post about Introductory Course Makeovers.

Instead, the world is competitive. Since the dawn of time, humans have competed against each other for food and resources. In modern society, each person must compete for education, jobs, higher salaries, etc.

Science Prof is doing his students a favor- he’s teaching them that it is not sufficient to meet some objective standard for success. Instead, students must compete against and outperform a certain number of their classmates in order to succeed. When these students enter the working world, they will be expected to outperform their co-workers if they want a promotion. If they go into business, their business must outperform competing businesses. This is simply the way of the world, and Science Prof is preparing students for that world.
