...History were a final club, History 10a and 10b would be one hell of a yearlong punch. Rough in practice but with marked reward, these two classes are the hazing in the History concentrator’s academic experience. Required of all concentrators until the 2006-2007 school year, both are Western history survey courses that cover thousands of years–in just one year. Much like the curriculum and readings, the makeup of the classes tends to be composed primarily of white males. History 10a is the paradigm for many students’ larger intellectual gripes about Harvard...
...Connections” is the ultimate Science A experience for aspiring science fiction writers. The trippy name matches the material, as topics covered include everything from dark matter to black holes. The cost for connecting to the cosmos is class at 10 a.m. in a windowless lecture hall; the reward is a plethora of facts about the universe and theoretically a grasp of its origins and our place in it. That is if you actually study—many students scrape by without going to lecture at all, miserably cramming the whole solar system in the night before the exam...

Finally, I was right about one other thing: that the graders would reward formulaic, colorless writing over sharp young voices. The average essay score for kids who wrote in the first person was 6.9, compared with 7.2 for those who didn't. (A 1-to-12 scale is used to grade essays. That score is then combined with the score on the grammar questions and translated into the familiar 200 to 800 points.) As my editors know well, first-person writing can flop. But the College Board is now distributing a guide called "20 Outstanding SAT Essays"--all of them...
That "cap-and-trade" approach works because it provides certainty--companies have a specific greenhouse-gas-emission target--and because free markets are the most efficient way to reward innovation. A market-based system has two added benefits: it creates new revenue sources for companies clean enough to sell credits, and it enables free markets to determine the best solutions instead of having governments bet on what they think are going to be the winning innovations. That vision is one reason a Republican Governor and a Democratic legislature were able to agree on the global-warming act and many business...
