This paper contains eight components and is modular in the sense that it can be taken as a whole or in part. The first section is a pretest which attempts to analyze some measurable dimensions of a master's degree. The second section is a short presentation which shows how education must stress the affective and attitude dimensions of learning. Diagrams presented in the third section demonstrate the differences between two approaches to attaining performance objectives. The fourth section is a short test designed to show the difference between an enthusiastic and an unenthusiastic teacher. The fifth section is an attempt to make the teacher in higher education think of learner benefits that are a direct result of higher education. Selecting the best (although not necessarily the most qualified) student for entry into a master's program is illustrated in the sixth section. The seventh section attempts to point out the absurdity of certain educational philosophical positions if carried to the extreme, and the last section is a posttest intended to measure the gains score of the reader as a result of studying this document.
