<p>Hey guys, we might have gotten trolled.</p>
<p>I’m a science major, too, and I’ve also taken classes in CS and math, as well as a host of humanities fields. It’s one thing to cite a program as “very good” or even “the best,” and another to examine the quality of teaching. I’ve taken some lecture classes with amazing professors, many with outstanding reputations in the field at large, but unless I’ve gone to their office hours or taken upper-level seminars with them, I haven’t really reaped the benefits of their teaching. Some of them were excellent lecturers; others weren’t. Sure, they really knew their stuff, but many of the best professors are good when they’re teaching their specialties, doing research, etc. Not all students will have the interest, opportunity, or time to access them at that level.</p>
<p>This situation holds presumably at both Brown and Cornell.</p>
