You know how I know you are old?

1. Independent study is a 100 percent legitimate thing. Much of my graduate work was done that way because my mentor was a Harvard educated hard-arse who was more qualified than anyone else to teach me (he was quite literally *the single authority in my field."). He created classes just for me and I worked harder academically in those than I have for anything else in my life. It's done less often at the undergraduate level but it still legitimately happens at a pretty common level (it's usually done for honors type students and those who want or need a very specialized course load).

In the old days you wanted the hardest teachers because you were there to learn.
