Being senior can be a proxy for performance (to some degree since colleges don’t keep students who get failing grades). FWIW, at my colleges that I went to, people on honor roll were given a few hours head start on class selection.
- giantg2 4y agoThat's not an applicable proxy. Sure they might have low performers dropout, but they doesn't provide any segregation in the remaining cohort for high performers getting to register early. Interesting. They didn't do that for us.
- withinboredom 4y agoI disagree that is “not applicable” but as I said, just a hunch/hypothesis. It def requires experimenting and research to prove whether it is or isn’t a proxy, at least for this case.
- giantg2 4y agoLiterally, if you drop out you are no longer eligible to register for any classes. That has no application to determining that low performers are forced into earlier classes. The other part where high performers are given preference could be.
- withinboredom 4y agoThat’s what I meant by “self-fulfilling prophecy.” High performers are given preference for the “better” times and teachers while low/struggling performers are not.
