Despite the innovations, the year is a transitional one. Further changes are planned for the future, and professors hint that this year's experiment will seem downright conservative by comparison.
Because the teachers are all liberal and popular, some students wonder if it is their personalities instead of the content which are responsible for the early success of the section. "If there were no experiment, and we had the professors, we could still have a good section," says one student...
"People like to complain about the section," adds another student. "They say, 'If this grand experiment doesn't really work, we are still responsible for all the material on the final exam.'"
Another positive factor is the professors' enthusiasm, students say. "Because it is an experiment, they are taking more time to make it run smoothly," says one student. "I think they make an extra effort to be accessible to the students," adds another.
Nonetheless, students add, they have never lived through first-year before, and have nothing to compare the experiment to.
