The Brookings Institution, 1993.
Students have no real choice in what classes to take.
Their interest and capabilities are not generally taken into account. They are given only minimal information about the content and structure of a class. Typically they are told no more than, say, that it is a course in inorganic chemistry or European history, likely to require five to eight weeks, and meeting all day, five days a week. The instructor in charge provides little in terms of orientation and explanation. He does not present a series of organized lectures.
