<p>I don’t get it. So Two GSI teaching a 100 student class? Well, UCB is overcrowded, isn’t it? The size of the an intro biology course is like 600+. Is that what you are referring to? I am interested in this because my high school freshman friend wants to attend UCB for biology. </p>
<p>But if UCB students are academically better than the tier-2, tier-3 (sorry, have to use the so-called tier-rank) students, shouldn’t the program expects more from the students? When I look at MIT courses, such as Physics, CS, the instructors covers more than topics. This is obvious because our school is in low rank, and most of our students <em>are</em> not as academically super as the MIT’s students.</p>
