Speaker 1 Summary

Ramona asserts three things about university education. First, one of the primary values of it is intellectual growth from exposure to a lot of different ideas. Second, too many students miss out on this growth because they choose technical majors. Third, pressures to graduate quickly encourage students to miss out on intellectual growth.

Speaker 2 Summary

Martin points out that job prospects matter. And, students in technical majors are still required to take some liberal arts classes, which suggests they might still be able to get intellectual growth.

Objective

We’re looking for a point of agreement. This is difficult to anticipate, because neither speaker makes an argument. They seem to agree that there are students who are choosing technical majors. They also agree that the choice of major may have some connection to job prospects.
