Talk:Fritz Stern/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I was student of Professor Stern for one semester at Columbia University while working on my degree in International Affairs in 1985. The class had submitted term papers. With very few exceptions, he was sorely disappointed with our work and let us know in no uncertain terms that our papers were both of low quality and insulting to him personally. This was one of the few occasions when I had seen a professor in humanities fight back against grade inflation and we respected him for it. Ben Kaufman
