The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q Do you think they should take responsibility? Should you take responsibility for the outcomes?

A Well, the word responsibility, so I'm, I'm an economist, is, is, is a responsibility, the liability, the financial liability at the end of the day, or as people have been saying, look, if, if we are not providing an economic pathway for our students on average at Berkeley, you're talking about Berkeley now, or, or Dartmouth, um, you know, that, that, that people will stop coming, and they will stop taking loans, so that market mechanism is working pretty well as it is, And, and we are producing really wonderful outcomes. I think the earlier question about what about, you know, more than 1001 thousand higher ed institutions in this country, and I think there is pressure on the whole system, but, um, we, we are certainly making sure we have a brand new program called Social Sciences Career Readiness Internship Program, and so we are launching lots of new things just to make sure that we are providing that kind of support.
