<p>"One of the questions that they ask is: “How involved is the faculty in your academic life?”</p>
<p>A series of choices were provided for students to respond to, eg,:
- More than most. They know when I’m lying if I try to use the “my grandmother died” excuse for the third semester in a row."</p>
<p>What I want to know is why these students, at these good schools, are taking classes with the same professors three semesters in a row? </p>
<p>Can’t the students pass the class the first semester? Why did these students use the “my grandmother died excuse” in the first place? How did these students get away with this excuse for two semesters? I thought the relationship between the professors and students at these schools was so strong, that if a grandparent died, the professor would go to the funeral. </p>
<p>No wonder Harvard and Columbia scored so low. The students at these schools probably never took classes three semesters in a row with the same professor. How would you expect these students to respond? ;)</p>
