Stanford vs Harvey Mudd

[japanoko]

<p>

When you include introductory seminars, which are not administered by the registrar (which compiles the statistics for the CDS) but the VPUE, Stanford’s % classes under 15 is 75%. Stanford’s literature always talks about introsems, so it makes sense that they include them. (I know this because I used to work in the office that administers introsems.)</p>

<p>It’s possible that HMC has additional seminar-style classes that it’s not listing under its CDS, but I doubt it, since in Stanford’s case it’s created a separate set of classes that are necessarily small in a large university setting, whereas HMC’s mission is that have those small classes.

<p>so phanta, do you realize what you are saying?</p>

<p>are you really telling us that Stanford has classes taken by Stanford undergraduates that are not counted in the Common Data Set?</p>

<p>after all, a seminar class, introdcutory or not, is a “CLASS”, is it not?</p>

<p>why don’t you tell us more about it and how this could come about?</p>
