...committee then discussed ways to improve midterm grade reports, a little known practice in which faculty are expected, but not required, to report on their students’ progress midway through the semester. This allows resident deans, who often know the bigger picture about a student, to discuss problems with students early...
...Science Center. All too often a lightning-quick mind, paired with diligent effort does not measure up to Harvard’s exacting standards. Even more difficult than those thorny organic synthesis problems is the challenge of maintaining your self-confidence when you just fell short of the midterm mean, despite an honest effort.

It is not uncommon for a sophomore pre-med or biology concentrator to have 20 to 25 hours of class and labs per week, leaving little time...
...Hampshire primary, Clinton gave a chilling speech, mentioning al-Qaeda's interest in U.S. elections and implying that extremist groups would plan an attack based on whom primary voters nominated.

...upended the lives of a generation of Iraqis, in ways both hopeful and tragic. In Phoenix, Khattab brings home new English phrases he learns every day in second grade at Sahuaro Elementary School. "Khattab is showing great progress and learning the language very quickly," his teacher wrote on his midterm report last month. After his first week of school, he figured out that to fit in, he would need an Arizona Cardinals hat. When I saw him recently, he was asking "What's up?" over and over again. Then he stopped, looked up at me and asked, "Where...
