...honor of shopping period, FM brings you the real course ratings for some of Harvard’s most popular classes. Compiled with a highly complicated and effective methodology, designed to assess the things that actually matter to the average Harvard student, we present the things the CUE Guide doesn’t want you to know: SCIENCE B-57: DINOSAURS AND THEIR RELATIVES Course Description: Science B-57 is a comprehensive exploration (aka memorization) of the most obscure bones of extinct lizards. While it’s billed as an easy way to cop out of the science core...
...only three courses count for Historical Studies B, and only five are offered in the spring. And for students choosy enough to want a halfway decent Core class, the pickings are even slimmer: of the five “Science A” courses offered this semester, the highest CUE rating is a 3.7; there are no courses in the spring that do any better. There are some obvious reasons why students face such a paucity of options. First, and most importantly, a course can only be included in the Core Curriculum if professors ask for such a designation...
...doing away with shopping period would force students to come up with better ways of choosing courses. The CUE guide is often unhelpful, but it could be dramatically improved. It could, for example, include longer and more specific qualitative comments, creating a more detailed Web page for each professor with an entire history of student evaluations. It could publish grade distributions alongside evaluations. A still more ambitious project might lead to a course recommendation site modeled on Amazon.com, matching your preferences with those of other students, and using their course evaluations as a guide...
Classes start in three days, and that means it’s time to crack open the Courses of Instruction, scope out the CUE Guide, and examine course syllabi—that is if you can find them. Students are expected to complete their work on time ,and there’s no reason that expectations for professors should be any different. When professors fail to punctually perform their teaching responsibilities before, during, and after the school year, students suffer. Unfortunately, a disturbingly large number of Harvard faculty are currently shirking their responsibility by not posting course syllabi online...
...settled quickly, the firm's top litigator, Arthur Edens (Tom Wilkinson), has gone nuts, cavorting naked in a parking lot. The most superficial familiarity with The Parallax View and other political-paranoia movies of the 70s - or with the crimes of EnRon and other big companies - will cue the viewer to expect corporate dirty tricks at the root of Arthur's frayed mental state. The two men will find ruthless adversaries both in the corporation's chief counsel (British actress Tilda Swinton, superbly on-pitch as always) and in their own firm's steely partner (Sydney Pollack, extending his streak...
