[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given the very high quality of students overall, how does this reflect in the curriculum? Some cynics say it's mostly about the connections because the undergraduate curriculum is the same at most institutions of reasonable quality. But I would suspect since there's no remedial education going, there's a difference in kind between a bachelor's from HYP/Oxbridge and your more typical bachelor's degree. [/quote] You think that any uni that is not one of these 5 has widespread remedial ed? FWIW, there are lots of “remedial” classes at HYP to bolster writing, math skills, etc. Assessments in the US are ongoing while less frequent in UK higher ed. The latter students must exert a lot of self discipline to ensure that they can pass from one year to the next. [/quote]
