The problem here in this discussion is that the student, Katherine, has been late multiple times in her class. I prefer the way of rescheduling her class, because she can't an A if she keeps getting tardies. But if she reschedules her class, she can finish the class that is the requirement for graduating. That way, she doesn't have to take the same class in her senior year.

The professor points out that there are 2 ways how people forget memories. She tells one example that a person is given a phone number and he tries to memorize it, yet he doesn't write it down. Soon he forgets the phone number. The passage realates to the example that the memory decays when the memory is not used for a while. The second example is a personal one of the professor when she went to a book store without a list. She remembered the book titles. She ran into a friend there and started chatting. After the conversation, she forgot the book titles. This relates to the interference of the memories that when a new memory enters the brain, the new mem causes the old one to depart.

Another reason is because he opposes the idea that hiring part time teachers in a seminar class. He thinks that part time teachers are too busy teaching other schools, and often they are not qualified to teach universities. Therefore, the students will not receive a quality education.

I prefer the way of having the first year students in dormitries because they can help each other more often than when they are living with other year students. They can also depend on each other more because they are the same age when they have hard times adjusting to school.
