A course is, as a rule, only as good as its instructor, and this is where the physical science departments go astray. It is on this issue that...

...complaints and suggestions that came up were very similar to those made in Katari's article: the first year is drudgery; you learn the math after you are required to know it for physics; better section leaders are needed; the teaching is lousy.
