institutions that have acquired prestige and
longevity. Do you agree with these viewpoints?
Consider how these colleges influenced
perceptions of higher education today. What about
the quality of education then and online learning
now? Relate how these trends and events still

EDU 657 Week 1 Reflective Journal
EDU 657 Week 1 DQ 2 Colonial Revival Colleges
Critically reflect on the personal impact of the
foundations of education. Reflect on a time when
you studied about the history of the Colonial Era
in grade school, middle school, high school or
college. What surprised you to discover about
higher education during the Colonial era? Have
your perceptions changed as a result of examining
a few of the historical, political, ethical
and/or economic foundations of higher education
during this timeframe? How has this knowledge
impacted your perceptions and experiences about
higher education? Summarize how this information
will change your teaching.
Thelin (2011) noted that the English universities
Oxford and Cambridge greatly influenced early
American higher education. In addition, Oxford
and Cambridge were autonomous, privately endowed
and linked to a federation. The collegiate
system of combining learning and living was a
seminal plan for higher education that college
founders tried to capture for the American
colonies. Discuss the various ways in which early
American Colonial colleges did "not" emulate or
resisted replicating the Oxford-Cambridge ideal.

EDU 657 Week 2 DQ 2 Resilience in American Higher
Education
EDU 657 Week 2 DQ 1 Creating the American Way
Medical schools during this time represented a
good example of American societys enchantment
for education without the overly strict rules and
standards. Reflect on the role of Medical
Colleges in higher education during the first
half of the nineteenth century. Consider the
educational preparation and requirements for
medical doctors during this era. How do you feel
that differs today? What influences are still
impacting higher education today with regards to
new educational programs and innovations?
Large scale philanthropy contributors who offered
substantial gifts such as foundations, trusts,
and estates were necessary to higher education
budgets in order to pay for salaries, services
and the construction of new buildings. The
transformation of philanthropy in American higher
education was the coming together of industry and
religion in what was termed the Protestant work
ethic. Discuss why this was important to wealthy
entrepreneurs. From your readings, what
challenges do current higher education
institutions face with regards to funding?

EDU 657 Week 3 DQ 2 America Goes to College
EDU 657 Week 3 DQ 1 Captains of Industry
America Goes to College. The age of
university-building was also the golden age of
the college. Attending college was popular and
fashionable during 1890 through 1920. Obtaining a
bachelors degree was a way for newly affluent
families to enhance their social position.
Summarize the concept of the Collegiate Ideal
during 1890 -1920. Consider how the college man
and/or college woman was becoming an imposing
figure in American higher education at the end of
the nineteenth century.
The wealth and energy between 1880 and 1910 was a
unique and dynamic period in higher education.
During this time the stock market was volatile
and the rules that governed higher education were
mostly absent. In addition, there was an
abundance of industrial wealth, and a new level
of philanthropic generosity toward higher
education. Uncertainty and diversity were
characteristics of this time period.

trends, and events of historical eras on higher
education and the dynamics surrounding the
university-builders in the formative decades
between 1880 -1920. Think about what it would
have been like to be a college student during
this time. Then reflect on the time when you
first enrolled in your graduate program. What was
your experience? Where you excited about the
prospects of one day teaching at the higher
education level? What is the subject you would
most likely enjoy teaching? Do you think you
could have taught the same subject during 1880
-1920?

EDU 657 Week 4 DQ 1 Success and Excess
EDU 657 Week 4 DQ 2 Cost of College, 1920-1945
Thelin (2011) mentioned that from World War I to
World War II, university and college enrollments
increased dramatically. However, the retention of
students presented a challenge during this time
period. College administrators had some
difficulty managing students because of the
expanded number of students being enrolled.
Discuss the role and responsibilities of faculty
members during this time. How have these roles
and responsibilities changed today? How have
these stayed the same? Do you think that college
administrators and faculty members did the best
they could to retain their students? Why or why
not? What could they have done better?  
Summarize the changes in the price of going to
college from 1920-1945. Consider student
employment opportunities and positive influences
of the various relief work programs such as the
public work projects during this time. How did
colleges and universities benefit from them? Do
you feel that a similar type of public work
project(s) could work today? Why or why not? What
are some options that students have today to pay
for college? Give your perspectives on how
college education could be funded.

EDU 657 Week 4 Reflective Journal
EDU 657 Week 4 Higher Education, 1920-1945
Critically reflect on the impact of topics,
trends, and events of 1920-1945. Have you met or
do you know of anyone who taught during this
time? If so, what do they say about the
advantages and disadvantages of teaching during
this time period? As a future higher education
educator do you feel that your opportunities have
increased as compared to what you read about
opportunities for faculty from 1920 -1945? What
did faculty do as far as furthering their careers
with regards to scholarship and teaching? What do
you plan to do to further your career with
regards to scholarship and teaching? Do you look
forward to publishing?
From 1920-1945, there was significant expansion
and reforms in higher education. Reflect upon the
opportunities to attend college for women during
this time period. Women made up about 40 of the
undergraduate enrollments in 1940. This was
remarkable considering that women were not
permitted to earn a bachelors degree just 60
years prior to 1940. Also of significance were
the womens colleges of the privileged elite such
as Wellesley, Radcliffe, Smith, Vassar, and
Barnard to name a few. Examine colleges for women
during this time period and compare them to your
educational experiences today.

EDU 657 Week 5 DQ 2 Coming of Age in America
EDU 657 Week 5 DQ 1 Gilt by Association
From 1970 -2000, most higher education
institutions encountered various challenges and
issues. Although higher education made an
effective transition to mass education access, it
was more difficult to transition to universal
education access. In addition, because of the
diversity of students who were entering college
higher education, higher education institutions
required tailoring. Discuss the impact of topics,
trends, and events of 1970-2000 era on higher
education. Explain the components that
contributed to the Coming of Age in American
higher education.
From 1945-1970, a new set of problems helped to
transform higher education. After 1949 there was
an explosion of enrollments due to governmental
agencies that recognized that higher education
had been proven effective, even during the war.
This led them to create public policies at both
the state and federal level.

Critically reflect on the impact of topics,
trends, and events of 1970-2000. Reflect on
yourself as a graduate student who may one day
teach in higher education. How can you avoid some
of the mistakes faculty made from 1970-2000? What
teaching approaches and/or strategies worked? In
addition, how do you feel higher education will
change in the next five years? Do you believe
online learning will increase? In terms of
professional development and training, what do
you believe you need to do to effectively teach
at the higher education level today and in the
near future?

topics about the challenges and issues in higher
education from 1970-2000. Discuss one topic that
addresses the institutional, societal, student,
faculty, curriculum, governance or financial
issues that were significantly impacted from 1970
-2000. After viewing Dr. Hannah Holborn Greys
