[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, how about the ranking factors USNews cut out of the process that gave Wake it's top 30 ranking:  alumni giving, class sizes, high school class standing, and the proportion of instructional faculty with terminal degrees.[/quote]

Where is your data showing Wake is better at those things as of this year? [/quote]

Why would you think it would change, especially with tenured profs?  US News just dropped these criteria entirely.  However average class size is in cds.  Wake doesn’t use TAs I am willing to UGA does.

As a current Wake parent, I can confirm class size usually less than 20,the exception being some stem or business classes that might go up to a class size of 50.  [b]All professors at Wake are required to both teach and conduct research, that’s fairly unique.  [/b]They seek people who are good at both.[/quote]

Not remotely unique. That is what a professor is — someone who contributes to an area of scholarship (research) and trains the next generation (teaching).[/quote]

Incorrect, many professors at big research universities do not teach (only do research) or do not teach undergrads.  Conversely, many, mostly bigger schools, hire part time faculty members who teach but do not conduct research.[/quote]
