It’s been a month since my last post and my promise to shed some light on the SLE program has so far not happened. I’ve decided to postpone blogging SLE until next quarter so that there would be a sense of start and finish.
On a happier note, I have just finished the 65 hour take-home final exam. What insane course would force its students to do a 65 hour final, I hear you cry. SLE is that course.
Welcome to the new thirteenCents. If you’re here for MMORPGs and other games, you’re out of luck, actually you might not be. This blog will basically feature whatever I want to put on it so games might make it in. I hesitate to call this a personal blog because it probably won’t get too personal.
Because I really want to start off this blog afresh, I’ve thought of a first topic of discussion and that is the Structured Liberal Education (SLE) program at Stanford. Before starting the SLE program, I had no idea what it was and only chose it because the two or three books that the SLE website said it would cover looked interesting. If you don’t even know what SLE is, you can go to the official website or the wikipedia page. SLE is an awesome program and I hope to give you an insight to why the shunning of SLE is so strange and undeserved.
Of course, this blog won’t all be about SLE. If it were, then I would probably give up on it after the first week. So much for the first post. I want to post more than once a week so check back in the near future for more content!
