leggi sotto Explanation: Ciao Anna, confesso di non avere la + pallida idea di cosa voglia dire, ma quello che mi é venuto in mente é il "20 istituzionale", inteso come votazione (o la media del 20)- puó essere? Magari qualche collega USA ne puó trarre spunto. Buon lavoro, laura |

anche io sono molto perplessa, pero' leggi sotto Explanation: L'unica spiegazione plausibile l'ho trovata proprio a proposito di un famoso college dell'east degli Stati Uniti. Si tratta della College Twenty Rule: satisfy the College's "Twenty Course Rule": no fewer than twenty courses (two and one-half years of study) must be taken outside the major department. The Twenty Course Rule embodies the ideal of liberal education in the U.S.: hat both depth and breadth of experience are to be achieved in every responsible educational program. It guarantees each student at Swarthmore the opportunity to design and pursue a course of study that will enhance the long-term value of his or her undergraduate work. Even with some reduction of those twenty courses by ancillary degree requirements of four courses in Mathematics and four in the Laboratory Sciences, there remain at least twelve totally unspecified courses through which engineering students can discover social and economic influences and explore a variety of cultural and humanistic traditions. Adherence to this Rule is absolute; students can only take additional courses in the major department as overloads, and that is strongly discouraged. Quello che non torna sono il conto degli anni. 20 esami in un'universita' americano non si fanno in un anno. I voti, nei college, si esprimono in centesimi, se la memoria non mi tradisce. paola l m -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-12 01:13:55 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- L\'altra cosa che mi lascia perplessa e\' il verbo utilizzato: gained, che non si direbbe mai di un corso, credo. I had \"completed\", \"passed\"; anche \"achieved\" my perfunctory college twenty. Poi dal lato opposto della perplessita\' mi chiedo: ma che altro potrebbe essere? Con il verbo \"gained\" mi viene subito di dire \"pounds\" cioe\' libbre, cioe\' peso. Ma perfunctory? I chili andrebbero bene con l\'acne! Che cosa ti dice il contesto? paola l m |

Anna, Explanation: i voti nelle universita' americane ***NON*** si esprimono in trentesimi, ne' in ventesimi, ma in centesimi (tanto su 100). Te lo dico per esperienza diretta, avendo studiato ed insegnato in universita' negli Stati Uniti e in Canada. paola l m |

"college twenty" significa 20 libbre (9 chili) Explanation: Il contesto sugge che l'autrice scriva a proposito del'aspetto. "Gained" si rifere al' ingrassando. |
