New one on me: recommendation form asks about student's "reaction to having fundamental assumptions about his/her society questioned." Hmm!
@astroprofhoff Sounds to me like you have some sociology on your hands! How did you answer?

@OtherSociology I said that studying physics can cause even the most confident student to question their own assumptions/capabilities... -
@OtherSociology ...and that this can actually cause problems for the most confident students because it challenges their self-assurance. -
@OtherSociology But the student I'm recommending has a really good attitude toward her own learning & is always open to new ideas. -
@OtherSociology I haven't actually seen her react to a challenge like they describe, but her attitude toward learning seemed relevant. -
@astroprofhoff Love all your answers! So it's for a recommendation for a graduate program? Thought it may have been new teaching evaluation -
@OtherSociology no, for a research/study abroad program. Love the idea of asking this of a teacher!
