In a class of thirty students, you are a very lucky teacher if ten respond and/or have questions. 2) You have perhaps 15 weeks teach your material. 3) You give a test. It is a sure thing that it will either be too hard or too easy for the majority of the class. Either way you have to curve the results, and it makes you either an "easy" teacher or a "ball-buster". Either way, the teacher looks bad. Just for your info.. Ross M. Greenberg @ NYU ----> allegra!cmcl2!acf4!greenber <----
