Pasta with a side order of philosophy, please

Article Abstract:

A research student at Middlebury College in Vermont argues that it is an university's responsibility to make sure that the hours a student spends outside of the classroom are integrated with classroom time if the student is to get the most out of the time at university. It is argued that the current moves towards treating higher education as an industrial process to be managed rather than a human process to be cultivated will only result in students getting less out of their time at university and harm the educational experience of students.
