There appears to be little overall supervision in this elaborate system. Most people aren't forced to attend seminars. Attendance is rarely taken to class. A supervisor won't check up on our frustrated professor's lectures. Nobody appears to be needed to make sure that the people in the library remain quiet.
Nobody organizes the discussions in the coffee shop.
And yet, this is a system of constant evaluation and intense discipline. Papers and tests are graded. Professors are evaluated by students. Laboratory data are checked over. Mathematical derivations are examined.
