My Neurobio professor for next quarter posted this on the course webpage.
Rosovsky’s “Standard for undergraduate education”
1. An educated person must be able to think and write clearly and effectively.
2. An educated person should have a critical appreciation of the ways in which we gain
knowledge and understanding of the universe, of society, and of ourselves.
3. An educated American cannot be provincial in the sense of being ignorant of other cultures
and other times.
4. An educated person is expected to have some understanding of, and experience in thinking
about, moral and ethical problems.
5. We should expect an educated individual to have good manners, and high aesthetic and moral
standards.
6. Finally, an educated individual should have achieved depth in some field of knowledge.
From Henry Rosovsky’s Undergraduate education: Defining the issues ,
the 1975-1976 Report of the Dean of Arts and Sciences, Harvard College
He titled the file "An Educated Person," which got me confused b/c it doesn't have much to do w/ the class material.

edit: AH! the syllabus is 13 pages!!! I've heard of syllabuses that are more than 3 pgs long but I've never had such a class before.
