I don&#x27;t admit anything of the sort; you came up with the 2&#x2F;3 figure.<p>My best students <i>are</i> pretty much self-taught <i>within the academic environment</i>, which offers them a lot more than any series of MOOCs could.<p>Maybe around 1&#x2F;4 of my freshman students shouldn&#x27;t be in university, and most of these leave during their first year. I&#x27;d be happy if admissions standards were increased, as it would be better for all concerned if individuals lacking the necessary ability and motivation didn&#x27;t waste everyone&#x27;s time as well as their own money.<p>Once again, it is the responsibility of each potential student to determine whether they should accept a place at a university, not mine. As long as they&#x27;re here, I&#x27;ll give every student as much assistance as I can, but some of them can&#x27;t or won&#x27;t be helped.
