Tuition keeps going up, so students work lots of hours while taking a full load. Most of my students work at least 30 hours a week and still take a full load. Instead of taking fewer credits, which would be more humane (and better for learning and their overall welfare), they max out on credits because the administration has made anything over 13 credits free. So students take more credits than they can handle--and who can blame them given the financial incentives? Why set up such an insane system? Because 4-year graduation rates are important in college rankings. If we're not going to lower tuition, then we've gotta' let go of the 4-year graduation metric. IMHO, finishing in 6 years is pretty impressive when students work so many hours.madradprofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16830506855719289928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464926320516098029.post-69171888379749252782010-09-16T06:40:20.193-07:002010-09-16T06:40:20.193-07:00This is what is called blame the victim.

After denying this problem to death - the graduation rate not too long ago was 24% - all of a sudden it is the student's fault that the graduation rate is low, compared to other institutions?<br /><br />It's nice to see Morrill Hall finally get religion, but...<br /><br />And cutbacks to the core will not help graduation rate.<br /><br />By the way, we do have $80 mil to spend on gutting Northrop and starting over. This is an absurd use of money right now, but the Morill Hall Gang apparently marches to a different drummer.Mr. B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02067666077743889680noreply@blogger.com
