> If 90% of your students fail your exam what have you learned?

If my freshman year college professors are to be believed, this happens because undergrad is but an entrance exam for postgrad. 300 CS students come into freshman year. Only 30 can make it into postgrad 4 years later.

Do the maths.

(the stats have improved since the bologna system, now 60 people get into postgrad after 3 years)




Actually had an interesting conversation with a freshman-class oriented professor of mine. He told me that an increasing amount of people are going into undergrad CS and it is rising to levels that will only be truly seen in the graduate rates years from now.


Just in time for the next tech crash :(
