Hi All:
I do not find anything wrong with this requirement per class for larger classes. When I teach large
sections, I have a maximum of 85 students. I've never had more then 3 or 4 drop such classes, so
having 11 students dropping a course would be a good indicator that something is wrong.
On the other hand, if I had a class with 5 students and 1 dropped, then I would be in trouble according
to this rule.
John, if only our students could retain 87% of course material...
Cheers,
David

Aha. I get it now. Thanks.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, "Instructor Responsibility"
supposedly had something to do with retention of knowledge.
Silly me.
