Bartholomae Reading

When Bartholomae says to "invent the university" he means that the student needs to move into the world of the university step by step using different ways of thinking, arguing and establishing authority. The student needs to take on the role of the authority that they are going to be. He means that the student has to apply what they are learing and have learned and be able to use it in their working and everyday lives when they are done with college. the student is inventing their future with using all the different and complicated ways of thinking and aruging in a college setting. The student must take ideas and push theselves to think as an expert is thinking, the student is inventing their future and what their lives will later be like.
