Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

A. Shifting from content-centered to learning-centered classroom strategies.

B. Employing fewer adjunct faculty members to deliver the curriculum.

C. Require exit testing before students can graduate.

D. Ramping up foreign language requirements to make students more globally sensitive.

Barr and Tagg (1995) created what is known as the "Learning Paradigm." The authors argue that universities have long focused on instruction. They structure the classes in a way that allows teachers to teach. However, they have ignored the fact that the real reason for colleges to exist is for students to learn, not teachers to teach. They believe that colleges have been mistaking a means for an end. Therefore, they suggest shifting from content-centered to learning-centered classroom strategies to deal with this problem.
