3 and only 3[/quote]
and then you attend and half of the important faculty only teach graduate students or hardly teach at all. It's a cool thought, but most students are being taught by "field famous" instructors that no one has heard of.[/quote]

Huh? My kids have had tenured professors in almost every class, professors with world class research rankings or professors who wrote the textbook. These people are legendary within their field. I dont care if the common public does not know them; why would they? [/quote]

Show me the evidence that there's a positive correlation between fame and quality of teaching.[/quote]
