The use of a spreadsheet to examine these variables makes this astraightforward exercise for most students. Through manipulation of each variable

Another record breaking 62.6% of students werefrequently late to class and 36.2% frequently missed class. An interesting point is that, whenasked to rate themselves on intellectual self-esteem and academic and leadership ability, over54% of students rated themselves as above average or in the top 10%. Fifty percent of themexpect to make at least a B average. Grade inflation at the high school level rather than actualperformance has been suggested as the reason for this high level of confidence.

As implied in the survey question (“our generaleducation program satisfies the minimal accreditation requirements”), a common perception isthat professional-school accreditation requirements (a) constrain the creative development ofgeneral education programs and (b) are concerned only with the number of humanities and socialscience courses in a general education program. Indeed, previous reviews of general educationprograms have tended to focus on the percentage of the curriculum that is devoted to non-technical topics, as well as on particular kinds of courses (e.g., English, History, Philosophy,etc.).
