Hi
Mike you seem to be claiming that if we let all the students with SATs < 1200
into university this would NOT produce any increase in the variability in GPAs?
Given good reason to think that these students would score on average at a
lower level than students with SATs > 1200, I fail to see

report on fostering student/faculty collaboration in research- so yes, there

That's not as scary as the fact that one local high school had 37 students with
GPAs over 4.0 and honored every one of them with the title of valedictorian on
their offical paperwork!
UGH! heaven forbid we pick one and damage 36 self-esteems!

Hi Patrick
I just finished my first year as chair (also a 3 year rotation) in a dept. of
the same size. I had 4 reviews incl. a tenure review, we hired a new person, we
revised our curriculum, and in the spring one staff person (a technician)

As background, the dept. has 9 1/2 full time members, wi

experience. Just a couple of observations.
1. Whenever I have examined Cronbach's alpha for my multiple-choice or
short-answer tests I invariably find quite respectable values. So such tests

certainly not a lottery in the
