Back In Work. if a student at the Unlvorsity of Utah be deficient in even one study ho Is reported re-ported as doing unsatisfactory work, and this fact partly accounLs for the report that at tho end of November 50 per cent of all the ntudonlB at tho school and 75 per cent of those registered in the school of mines arc so posted. This condition has created some con-corn con-corn umong members of the faculty and a procesn is now in course of action to discover wherein the fault lies, instructors in-structors have inquired 'of their students how much time they spend in proparatlon of each of their lessons. According to college ratings all over tho United Rates, it Is hold that In order to get credit for one hour of work a student should occupy oc-cupy two hours In proparlng for each hour of recitation. Tho result or the inquiry was the discovery dis-covery of the fact that tho average time spnt in preparation was less than one hour, accounting for tho largo percentage of unsatisfactory .work. It is thu expectation of the faculty that a largo majority of those now delinquent de-linquent will make up this deficiency before the ond of the present semestor. and that matters will be adjusted as satisfactorily as heretofore. It was not staled yesterday what action would bo taken by the faculty to redeem tho standing of tho studonts. |
