But to say we've regressed probably goes too far. On averge, it's probably about the same level of illiteracy. Not many things change in the course of human history, we just think they change. That said, I think universities and professors rely FAR too much on multiple-guess exams. Sure, it's easier to grade in a class of 300, and it produces a nice simple Bell Curve, so everything's hunky-dory, right?... Right? I don't get why people think English majors are useless. Wasn't my major but those were some of the most challenging classes I ever had, b/c you actually have to think and come up with ideas of your own while writing papers. A lot of other majors use the crutch of the BubbleSheet --- where you just need to retain info for about 24 hours. Education is big business nowadays. That really needs to change.
