<p>Oh? I would like to see people who work hard in a humanities major and still flunk. Get C's? Maybe. But get F's? I highly doubt it. </p>
<p>But anyway, you asked for data, so looks like Professor Jasper Rine has it, so maybe together we should ask him what he has to say about it. He has apparently studied this topic in great detail, as demonstrated in the colloquia. So how about we write a joint email to him and ask him what kind of evidence he can show us, and we will then (with his permission) repost it here so that we can all look at the grading schemes of Berkeley technical and non-technical courses and notice the differences. That will solve the problem once and for all. Sound like a plan?</p>
