Behavioral Science

Behavioral science was a rare treat. Reasonable expectations, fair testing, flexibility, and entertaining presentation are rarer things to find than silver dollars in medical school. One is often dumbfounded by such directness, especially after spending hours, days, and months looking for the hidden agenda. Imagine, after one year of hunting for every detail, coming to a class where day to day commonplace issues were the focus. One is inclined to think, "Could this be real? Could some things really be this uncomplicated?" After such consideration, one returns to seeking the hidden agenda.

Even with much time wasted searching for the angles, the course lived up to the unreasonablility of being reasonable. I suspect a portion of the students never did stop hunting for the hidden agenda. That is unfortunate.
