I read the article, it was depressing. One thing that occurred to me is that this is how the biology department chose to respond to the budget cut, no one told them this is how the changes had to be made. It might have been a better idea to make some changes in the upper division courses rather than such a drastic move in an introductory course.

At one point in the article they mentioned students grading each other’s work. I didn’t have to grade someone else’s work past junior high school. That’s not really the kind of thing that should happen at a university.
