...rigorous approach to knowledge, its entertaining parlor tricks, and a few spectacular teachers. At Harvard, I learned that science has less to do with classroom stink bombs and more to do with performing tedious lab work, deciphering tedious journal articles, and pouring out dozens of lines of tedious algebra. The basics are difficult to learn. Even the smallest headway in research requires enormous personal dedication. And, of course, the field is inherently cumulative, so advanced study necessitates a pyramid of prerequisites...
...equal: They have different expectations, difficulty levels, and requirements. Upper level classes and seminars that are notoriously difficult attract students who look forward to working with each other to overcome extraordinarily difficult material. In extreme cases like the notorious Mathematics 55, “Honors Advanced Calculus and Linear Algebra,” all of the students may deserve A’s simply for making it past the first few “weed out” weeks. On the other hand, in a large Core class, it would be more reasonable to enforce a regular grade distribution.To...
...assignments is definitely the most time consuming part of the job,” says Ruwan Gunaratne ’09 who was a CA for Math 1b, “Calculus, Series, and Differential Equations” and was head CA for Math 21b, “Linear Algebra and Differential Equations” this past semester...
...must have spent at least four years in high school and have accumulated at least 17 credits. "Their transcripts tend to be a mess," says Michele Cahill, who helped create the Multiple Pathways program and is now at the Carnegie Corporation. Students might be missing the second half of algebra and three years of phys ed. "Ordinary high schools are not set up to deal with these kinds of gaps," says Cahill, but a good YABC can sometimes get the job done in a year. New data show that about one-quarter of students at YABCS and transfer schools...
