ANALYSIS OF SOME LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE ASSEMBLY LINE1
Response to Question 1:
After critical analysis of ‘Some Lessons Learned from the Assembly Line’ by Andrew
Braaksma, it can be observed that the author lays emphasis on the need of higher education in the
present generation. He stresses on the importance of gaining real-time work experience, as well
as on the fact that a higher university or college degree would enable a person to have better
experiences and a more secure future.
Response to Question 2:
I support the goal of the author. I agree with his claim that college classes should not be
neglected and while college is an important opportunity, gaining professional experience by
doing a real job is a great preparation for a person’s future work life.
Response to Question 3:
The author emphasizes the importance and need for higher education amongst the present
generation for a better future in the corporate world. In the text, the author mentions the
difference between his university life and his current work place and realizes the value of his
college education.
Response to Question 4:
“Factory life has shown me what my future might have been like had I never gone to
college in the first place” (Braaksma, 2011).

Response to Question 5:
The evidence supports in vividly depicting the importance of a college degree as the
author’s goal. I agree with this idea and its evidence. I trust that the required goal has been met
by the author. I do not think that any further information is necessary as the author’s goal has
been clearly stated in the evidence.
Response to Question 6:
The author comments that the young students of the present generation do not appreciate
their fortune in receiving the opportunity for acquiring a higher degree.
Response to Question 7:
“There are few things as cocksure as a college student who has never been out in the real
world, and people my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge”
(Braaksma, 2011).
Response to Question 8:
The author states that the youth of this generation who are college educated, do not
understand the precedence of the education they are getting, neither the fact that they are lucky
enough to have the means to gain one. The evidence is supported in the author’s goal. I agree
with this and its evidence. I do not think that any additional information is necessary. The
author’s goal has been clearly stated in the evidence.
