Working on my first ever literature review! (Weeeeeeee!) I’m trying to stay positive, but I am really struggling with the assignment. People keep telling me that they’re easy and the more literature reviews I write the better I get at writing them. I hope they’re right.

Today, while I was reading an article for my lit review, I came across this quote:

“By accepting a student, the department is making a statement that it believes he or she has the potential to succeed and also a moral commitment to provide whatever assistance is required… Institutional obligation does not end with the admitting process.” – John Stith, Making A Difference: Ethnic Diversity in Physics

What an amazing little gem in the middle of an article on physics! I’d like to somehow incorporate that into my philosophy of education. I want to carry that around in my pocket, I love it so much.
