<p>Might I suggest that the one point that has come up around here that’s really worth bringing up is that somehow not acing core classes shouldn’t be a stress factor right? I think this is really what the administration might best do. I agree with lizzard as an outsider from a very different kind of school that core probably best functions to make lots of material wash over one’s head, so that one can focus what to go into in more depth, but that’s exactly what wouldn’t happen with students getting into the mentality of acing classes. Maybe a pass/fail system for those classes would be nice, I don’t know.</p>
<p>Another little point is that wonderful folks like lizzard, IMS, etc really making some effort to tell students what the core is like might be one of the other best fixes – hopefully the more reality is spoken of, the less people get into something that’s not right for them.</p>
