...sucks, why be makin’ it worse? You know in your heart that you’re not actually going to try harder this semester, regardless of what you told your parents or the Ad Board. If you have three challenging classes already, why not ease your courseload a little without forcing yourself to take five later on? Either way, it’s not going to hurt you. It’s education in its most perfect form. Put in whatever you want, get out whatever you want...
That’s how Tad ended up at Harvard. A math concentrator (“I’ve never tried anything else”) and “second-generation mathematician,” Tad prefaces explanations of his courseload with such weighty questions as, “You did take calculus, right?” Far from simply finding the area under the curve, Tad is taking Math 135: Differential Topology, Math 191: Mathematical Probability, and Math 212: Functions of a Real Variable this semester. Conveniently, all three meet in the same room: Science Center...
...aware of the enormous time commitment and physical exhaustion associated with a typical week of practice and games. Imagine exerting yourself physically for 20 or 25 hours a week, only getting one day off, taking frequent roadtrips that consume entire weekends, and then topping it off with a full courseload...
Phil P. Telfeyan ’05 is just your average suspender-wearing, multi-lingual, habitually-embellishing Harvard first-year who wears a different hat everyday and hails from Mira Loma High School in Southern California. Despite a courseload that includes Math 55, Telfeyan frequently complains about “this school being easy.” [SEE CORRECTION BELOW...
...from their limited environment and give them a larger perspective on the world." (The report, in an intriguing footnote, also states that originally all Foreign Cultures classes were intended to "double-count"--not just fit two areas but actually count as two Cores, to cut down on the Core courseload--yet the report states cryptically that this plan was "infeasible.") Yet, of the Foreign Culture courses this year, six of 17 were conducted in a foreign language. If the concept is to reach unfamiliar cultures, wasn't the decision to allow courses in foreign languages to eat up so much...
