I really like the way the article gets its readers to interact by drawing the line and giving tailored feedback. It makes the article way more memorable and engaging.

This is EDUCATION done right.... Quite fitting really as the article is about Uni and education in itself!

This post definitely gets my up-vote.

I think it's an amazing achievement and definitely worth studying. The nytimes have been doing a great job with visualizations and engagements like this - not in a spurious "hey click the flashing light" way but in a "think carefully, and now here's this article in terms of what you think" way.

Incredible! If only text books worked like this.
