Oops.I was just going to say that in my (several) years of being a college student, I have frequently noticed a disconnect between what the teacher required, and what would be applicable in the real world.
Last spring semester, I took a sociology course, the textbook for which was written when "The Actor" (Reagan) was still President of the U.S., and the Soviet Union was still intact. The world is a whole different place now.
