  Sorry .... I just couldn't let this one slide!!!!!!!!
As a matter of fact, I had to read this garbage 3 times to really
believe Mr. Farmanfarmaian had the gall and stupidity to say that!
I too am an engineering instructor... (evening classes), and have been
for over 6 years.  It has been my experience that anyone who can pass
a class without coming is either:
   			1. wasting everyone elses time by even 
                           enrolling since they've had the class before
  					--or--
			2. Cheating they're asses off.
My experience has been with inner city students, out of city students,
outer country students, outer space students. I may be a bit biased 
but it has been noted that students that do not have complete command
of our language tend to fall in category 2!
         Take it up the street!
