John Ipolito video response
Finish watching the Ippolito video and discuss at least 2 concepts or issues raised in his lecture that intrigued you and why. How do they effect you directly? Have these issues been resolved since the time of the lecture (2004)? I thought it was interesting when John Ipolito talked about learning (and cheating) in universities….
