...telling the nano my pace, and the nano in turn is taunting me: a 10-min. 30-sec. clip, with about another half a mile to go. I sprint--and almost die--near the finish. One mile completed, the nano screen reads. My time: 9 min. 42 sec. Yes! Cue the Chariots of Fire music...
...mentioned cause is Vatican II, the 1960s church council whose reforms stressed what Pope John XXIII called "the medicine of mercy rather than that of severity." Since confession, with its accompanying penances, is all too often associated with the latter, many Catholics use Vatican II as a cue to scratch the sacrament from their to-do list. Some also cite Pope Paul VI's 1968 encyclical, Humanae Vitae (Of Human Life), which reaffirmed the church's ban on contraception. Because few U.S. Catholics consider birth control immoral, Humanae Vitae has led to a wider re-evaluation of what constitutes...
...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...
