Should Professors Be Fired If Their Courses Are Too Hard? Should College Courses Ever Be Considered Too Difficult? Should Student Opinion Matter On Course Difficulty? What About Rocks for Jocks?

The Best Paragraph I've Read: "The larger concern when it comes to NYU’s sacking of Maitland Jones is that we’ve normalized a college culture where students imagine that studying 10 hours constitutes a full week’s academic work. Whether or not students have other interests or responsibilities, treating college as an expensive multiyear holiday isn’t good for students, colleges or the taxpayers who subsidize much of this activity. And it’s insulting to all those young people who routinely put in 10-hour days waitressing, driving trucks, working construction and otherwise keeping us fed, clothed and housed." This paragraph comes from an American Enterprise Institute editorial.  The title is: "Are college classes too hard for students? Alarming numbers say 'yes.'  The editorial is written by Frederick Hess.  You can read the full editorial here: https://www.aei.org/op-eds/are-college-classes-too-hard-for-todays-students-alarming-numbers-say-yes/ Zac and Don discuss whether college's should be able to fire professors for making their courses too hard.  They also wonder if students should have a voice when it comes to a course's difficulty.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bestparagraph/message
