Some kid sued successfully in the UK claiming the classes weren't up to snuff. I don't quite see how pledging to go to class changes that. I can see clarifying what services you are providing, but since it's the student's choice whether to go to class or not, why should the school care as long as he/she pays? I thought it was a nanny state sort of measure but apparently it's just to make sure students can't expect any more than the school provides. I guess it is odd you go to college, spend thousands of dollars and there's really no point at which they make clear exactly what you're purchasing.

ReplyDeleteReally? That's really interesting. I had no idea. Does your syllabus mention extra points for being handsome?
