  13. "I don't expect anybody with no musical background to get it. I took classical piano for fifteen fucking years, theory, composition, the whole thing, and I'm getting so fucking tired of people saying, 'Oh, it's a rock 'n' roll guy fucking around with electronic music.' That's bullshit. One of these days I'm gonna pull my degrees out and say, 'Does that make me legitimate?' But I don't wanna do that because that's horseshit too."—Lou Reed

    #Credentialism is excessive reliance on credentials, especially academic degrees. The term originally was applied to over-reliance on credentials in hiring, but its use has broadened.

    Credentials are third-party acknowledgments that the holder possesses the requisite knowledge and clearance relating to a specific field of knowledge. Most are educational in nature, usually a diploma indicating the completion of a specific course of study.

  15. I still stand by this comment on #credentialism:
    > “the notion of an “A-Student” has a lot to do with encouraging behaviours which are easy to test” (via What Model for Learning Analytics? - Eductive)
