...went to the gym last weekend for a pickup game of basketball, or maybe mistakenly showed up for an intramural volleyball game, you might have been surprised to find hundreds of high heeled women in flashy makeup and men dressed to the nines, instead of a few sweaty students in gym shorts.

...possible that a student will find his or her class is a bad fit, even after the third Monday of the term. This student already faces an extremely difficult decision. Two weeks of makeup work is a daunting prospect for the average Harvard student. The other option—choosing to remain in the course—entails being trapped in a class that he or she dislikes. Given the gravity of this decision and the stress accompanying it, the administration should not be invoking a penalty that skews the student’s choice...
