By the way, Clint's had a number of students who "crumbled" on the first exam, but through his support have come back to do just fine in the class. I suppose that if their teachers were the kind who only focus on the class and not the students, they would have had to drop out. MIT may well have this kind of atmosphere, being a research-focused school (research schools tend to have an unfortunate habit of not caring whether their faculty can actually teach or relate to students). This is a failing on MIT's part, though, not the students'.
