Depends on the program, but usually grad students are required to maintain
a B average. So, as long as a student can make an A for every C, they
should be able to maintain the B average of course, if a student is
continually making C's in a variety of courses, there is reason to be
concerned

Ah, the Torah really does not dwell on innate evil. It does constantly
spotlight human imperfection and limitation, and the ability--if not the
need--to love and be just within those confine. That reminder is what the

A student just passed on an article on Psychotherapy in the May
2001 issue of Stuff (a magazine for men, I gather). Here is the
