I bet most people asked this question assume you are talking about a period during pregnancy even if the never heard of it.

They might graduate, but they are failing to develop the higher-order cognitive skills that it is widely assumed college students should master." <br /><br />Source: <a href="http://chronicle.com/article/Are-Undergraduates-Actually/125979/?inl" rel="nofollow">Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses</a> by Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa (University of Chicago Press)<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-64606936848619501872013-07-27T08:10:54.284-04:002013-07-27T08:10:54.284-04:00Sorry.
