    1- It's the study of seven subjects : grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy.
    I don't think it's a good system, Because what if one of the subjects the student hates and its in the way of him being a Master in Liberal arts...

    2- It means to study the greatest works that have passed the hardest tests ...

    1, Liberal arts is seven subject which is grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy.
    I think this it is a good system of education, because, this education can be fit for everyone. It is really depend on the person what kind of personality are you and what are you interested in.
    So, this education can grow each person's potential capacities.

  5. 1.The liberal arts are several subject and they are: grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy.
    i tried to read it over and over again but still didnt get the point. But in my point of view i think it's a good system according to what i've read. It's a chance to get a broad vision , the subjects helps them complement the fine arts and practical arts.

    2. Maybe to practice the great work and read it. like exercising it.

  7. 1.Liberal arts education takes into consideration different subjects : grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy. And I think it is a goos system because it emcompasses all of the useful things a student must know about. It will also give him/her the opportunity to be whatever he/she wants to be in the future.

    2. To "hang out with the greats" is to read different materials from different fields that we have received from our ancestors.

    It is a good education system, because it can promote critical thinking and free students from irrational ideas and prejudice. This system trant students freedom to explore alternatives and create a system of personal values.


    2. It means that we can discover those works that have enduring value- and enjoy them for a lifetime.

    I think it's not a good system, for it focuses in many subjects that distract the students.

    2- It means to practice very hard works to succeed in tests easily.

  11. 1. I think that is good education. Because everybody has different style learning, and they interested different topic. someone like art but someone like logic or grammar. so it is really good for the students.


    2. It means with body and using body learn something knowledge.
    I think is really good because if we learn knowledge or skill with our body, we never forgot about that knowledge or skill.
