[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They also need to focus on the professor side of the coin: general disinterest in teaching undergrads and lack of engagement with them. Harvard is known for that, and I believe it's the primary reason the UG reputation is rather weak.[/quote] Not sure how Harvard does it but they need to get rid of teacher evaluations by students. There's a correlation with poor effort and lack of attendance leading to poor evaluations when grades inevitably suffer.[/quote] I don't think Harvard cares much about student evaluations, if they even use them. It's the publish or perish culture that results in indifference to UG teaching, and that won't change. A highly motivated student can get a solid, even excellent UG education but they need to know how to work this particular system. Use office hours, get to know professors to the degree possible, seek out smaller classes etc.[/quote]
