It can also be the arrogant Professors are really not good teachers. There is even a 20% grade spread between professors within the department for these same courses this year. The Professors blame the students for being dumb? A 1,000 students must be wrong?:ack: I do not buy the UO propaganda. The UO is a second rate freshman/sophomore grade institution.:puke: It is better as a junior/senior institution.:iagree:

It depends on why those students failed. A high pass rate also does not mean that the education was better. It could mean that the class was easier. I took statistics with an easy professor, but I felt unprepared for a more advanced statistics course and the comprehensive exam I had to take. I ended up studying the notes of a student who took stats with the more difficult professor with the higher fail rate. The reason why he had the higher fail rate was because his course was more quantitative and made heavy use of statistical analysis software whereas the other professor's course was more conceptual and only spent a day on statistical analysis software.
