Q & AHow many of you have: students registering, that you don’t think are
ready to start school in two or three days? students registering at the last minute, that
you don’t think will succeed? students taking placement tests cold, and
just miss avoiding remediation? new faculty starting that are no more
prepared than some of these students?
