...minimum of 30% of a department's tutorials and that graduate students teach no more than 30%. However, a 1977 CUE study of tutorial programs in five of Harvard's largest departments--Economics, English, Government, History, and Psychology and Social Relations--revealed that none of these departments even came near these figures.
