    According to this list by The Center for College Affordability and Productivity, seven out of the 25 schools on this list have college hockey teams:

    Some of these teams in the upper Midwest are not surprising at all:

          Central Michigan State? Well, I guess CMU can rest easy tonight knowing it's their apparently long lost evil twin that has the shitty profs and not them.
          And I guess it really is true that Michigan Tech can't have nice things.

            Saying this came from an "education think tank" is more than a little generous, considering the "data" they used. If they were trying to make a couple bucks with a hit generator, they should have gone full-out Bleacher Report and turned this into a 50-page slide show.

              This needs to be changed to read, "Worst Teaching Professors". There's a BIG difference between a poor teacher and a poor professor. Not all professors teach, particularly in the sciences, where so much of the learn happens outside the classroom.

              When it comes to learning research methods in the laboratory, something that wouldn't be reflected in classes, I'll take someone who has published multiple times in Nature over someone who hasn't published work since his/her dissertation from grad school (no offense to teaching professors at liberal arts colleges who are good teachers).

                I would imagine that the technical schools might rank poorly due to technical professors who don't speak English well...

                      I bet close to 100% of those schools have basketball teams

                        which frankly, I don't care about because you need to be able to communicate. On the other hand, I've seen people be needlessly hard on foreign TAs who are english proficient... I'm sure profs get the same traetment in that regard. Nevertheless, if you are an undergrad, unless you are the rare type that does undergrad research, the fact that the prof is awesome in the lab is rather irrelevant to the education process for you... it might mean something to the school or the grad students, but its irrelevant when you're recieving instruction.

                        edit: interesting to see Bryant on there... as far as I know that's a school that cares more about your bank account than your academic abilities.

                          Aha, beat me to it.

                          I would have thought Osorojo would have started this thread. Then when he said "Has anyone ever done a study on whether college hockey students have good professors?" Biddy could have been all over it!

                              I'm calling BS on this list.

                              It seems biased against real majors aka science/engineering.

                              If it judges the liberal arts better than the real degrees no point in even looking at it.
