So here's the question - how much have you learned? It's the end of the course - how much is still there in your head?

Hang on a moment here - why are we here in the first place? The point of university is to learn what we need for the next stage, right? So if I'm on a management course, then surely the ultimate test of what I know is how well I can manage something. I can get a great grade and be a useless manager, that ain't right is it?

When in my working life I am ever going to consider the difference between two vaguely useless theories that state the blatantly obvious? Let's skip the whole middle stage - learn it, learn the whole dang thing not just what you need to pass the exam, then bloody well do it.

Yeah, that's right, try doing it. How much have I learned about Transformational and transactional leadership (that according to Bryant (1992) are not mutually exclusive) ? Why not evaluate folks actually applying what they're taught by having them demonstrating it in a project and then skip the whole middle part which involves wasting millions of trees?

Well there's my contribution to the debate. And on that note - let's get back to revision...
