| مستخلص: |
Presents the author's experience on the feeling of being inauthentic that hit him in the small hours of the night. Argument that redesigning his econometrics course to incorporate experimental concepts and methods had pushed him over the precipice this time; Statement that the answer to his problem came at a faculty lunch in March 2005, when the biologist Amy Cheng Vollmer discussed her concern about the Balkanization of disciplines that often takes place at colleges and universities; Opinion of the author that his econometrics course will be different from now on, not because the material or the text or the statistical software will be new, but because the author's understanding of one small slice of applied science has been refreshed. |
