Trinity College Paper Attacks Faculty Over Mid-Year Exams
Hartford reports the Tripod student paper criticizes Trinity College faculty for failing to embrace the three hour mid-year exam plan. The editorial says few faculty members supported the reform, leading to crowded one hour exams and limited insights into student desires for education. Dean Troxell notes freshman week and no mid-years increased classroom focus, saving time for classwork and reducing late cramming.
