[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does Harvard not have sufficient funds to cap out at 50-70 person lectures? I can’t imagine paying as much as people do for elite schools and not getting the service.[/quote] Harvard is a corporation that is largely indifferent to its UGs. It sells its coveted brand name stamped on a diploma, and obviously plenty of parents are willing to pay big money for that. The huge lecture classes are not going anywhere, nor are the writing seminars taught by adjuncts. The big classes do give grad students valuable teaching experience though. Depending on the program, Harvard is a great place to go for grad academics, not so much undergrad.[/quote] But, as you've indicated, that's not why most attend Harvard. Indicated by the evident number of unserious students necessitating this new policy.[/quote]
