Thus, while almost no one would doubt that the scientific expertise of our faculty is first-rate, the ability to teach—to impart information quickly, effectively, lucidly and entertainingly—by no means correlates with this zeal for research. The result is a faculty that spans the entire gambit of teaching quality, from abysmal to spectacular, with a mean hovering at mediocre...
