Colleges offer four-year graduation guarantees

I wonder if the situation has become even worse with the advent of Rate My Professor type sites. When the only open prof has consistent “horrible! do not take her!” ratings, does the student take her anyway, to stay on schedule? Back in the day, we were ignorant of most of profs’ reps.

<p>Many students would not be willing to take any course available to satisfy a specific requirement. Physics-for-physics-majors when physics-for-poets fills up? Arabic in lieu of Spanish? Work-intensive small seminar instead of big lecture with multiple-choice exams? Calc 1 when it’s taught by an incomprehensible lecturer?</p>
