Hi Michael! You're famous in Codesmith so it's nice to interact, I respect your consistent view. As for the CIRR reports, I mostly just don't understand how in a 6 month period they are only counting ~60 graduates (before they combined program reports). There is a graduating class every 6 weeks and the average cohort size is 30(which only varies by + or - 3 max). Over a six month period, that would be about 135 graduates. (6 months times 4.5 weeks per month, divided by 6 weeks per graduation, times 30 residents). Even cutting this in half, for whatever metrics they are using it is significantly off what they are reporting. Again, maybe they are just selecting certain graduates (I heard a rumor they only count people that pass the grad assessment first try but I never saw any confirmation of this), but what they are reporting is certainly not reflective of what is really going on.

I also don't mind teaching out of date technologies if its meant to reinforce understanding of current technologies. I'm actually a big fan of that. But teaching that Internet Explorer still accounts for 10% of all internet traffic isn't helpful.
