These problems may be even worse in upper-level courses--the courses that potential science stars take in their first year. It seems that there are even fewer quality teachers and interested professors in the higher level first-year courses and that the departments may be banking on the students' own interest to keep them learning and involved in the subject.

Indeed, many of the people I know who are science majors are in their science in spite of their experience with the department...
Patients received injections of interferon, a natural infection-fighting protein that can be artificially produced by genetically altered bacteria. One drawback: most of the patients who improved suffered a relapse when the injections ended. Doctors think the problem may be resolved by giving interferon for longer periods or in higher doses.

The only higher authority than Bok at Harvard is God, but God has a tendency towards order. God will probably leave the task to entropy, the only natural process of randomization in the world...
