<p>hoedown, I am not one of those questioning the NRC study. I do not even know the NRC study; all I know is that the NRC is a highly reputable body. You are confusing me with someone else. Initially, I was very harsh, “completely ignorant” etc. As I recall the conversations and go over my notes, I must amend my statement to say they were not very knowledgeable about undergrad teaching quality.</p>
