I just oved that YouTube video. I an sure that the players just loved it. I was at Miami 50 years ago and this is really great.

We are more than just a number and more income, the administrators are more concerned about money and getting good ratings to get more money. It is sad they have lost the true purpose of this university of giving a quality education. Our motto means "To accomplish rather than to be conspicuous,"so why dont we strive to actually make that meaningful.

I have been in a bunch of these large BORING classes while at Miami and, as a Junior, feel duped by Miami. How far will this administration go in its lies and deception. They cram 200 students into a large lecture that meets twice a week, set up 10 breakout sections taught by uninformed graduate students, and then for purposes of calculating average class size treat this as 1 class with 200 students and 10 classes with 20 students. Kool! Instead of the truth--average class size of 200--they claim average class size is 400/11 = 36.6. My bet is that a major reason for all these mostly worthless breakout sections is so they can manipulate the statistics to LIE about average class size at Miami.

Here an idea for an assessment project. Survey students taking a 200-student class with 10 breakout sections and ask them if they buy Miami's claim/crap that the class average is 36.6!

The willingness of Miami administrators to perpetuate these lies tells me that they have the ethics of an alley cat, and that the so-called "Institutional Research" team should change its name to the Institutional PROPAGANDA Team. Pravda would be proud! Miami should be ashamed.
