 Hi Everyone!

If any of you teach undergrads, this might be useful.
I had my first classes of the new semester yesterday .
The topic was on  regional dialects of English  as a way
to introduce Multicultural Education and my students.
What struck me was, they were so young that they
had never heard of the movie "Fargo".

Here is a profile of the mindset of the class of 2015.

I actually recommend to distance learning institutions to do something
similar even if it is only internal,  it is really psychologically
(cognitive etc) a great help and comfort.



Thank you all
