<p>^Thanks for your reply. I am beginning to understand the concept of hard.</p>
<p>but, isn’t necessary that they teach first and allow time to learn before expecting to perform well on a test? perhaps everything happens at a compressed timescale further accentuating the level of difficulty.</p>
<p>then the question is, “is it really necessary to put oneself through such a hardship?”, can you not learn in a more learning-conducive teaching environments?</p>
<p>from what i understand, your son is one of the better students in math and physics (an i’m sure in others), and if he finds his math and physics homeworks hard, and faces time constraints, whatever will happen to lesser quality students that Mudd obviously admits?</p>
<p>why suffer with eyes wide open? graduates of schools that are not “army-drills” (say USC, for example, a fine school) are also going to top grad schools, do well professionally, get high-paying jobs and lead happy lives. so my question is why Mudd? why punish yourself?</p>
