| twenty-size clases de hasta 20 alumnos Explanation: No typo - class size is a measurement criterion for US colleges 10 Universities With the Smallest Classes - U.S. News & World Report www.usnews.com › Education - Traducir esta página 6 Mar 2012 – Among the 265 National Universities that provided class size data to U.S. ... U.S. News calculates a rank for the school but has decided not to publish it. ... over U.S. News's rankings of Best Colleges or Best Graduate Schools. The student-faculty ratio at Georgia Institute of Technology is 19:1, and the school has 40.5 percent of its classes with fewer than 20 students. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2012-09-04 15:02:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- class size is mentioned first: The U.S. News Best Colleges rankings 2012 edition, published online on Sept. 13, 2011, are based on up to 16 key measures of quality, described below. U.S. News uses these measures to capture the various dimensions of academic quality at each college. The measures fall into seven broad categories: peer assessment; graduation and retention rates; faculty resources (for example, class size); -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2012-09-04 15:04:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ...first under "faculty resources" I should have said. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2012-09-04 15:08:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In relation to UI in 2010: Last week, the University fell from 39 to 47 on the U.S. News and World Report’s annual ‘Best Colleges’ rankings. One of the primary reasons cited for the slide was an increase in class size. Although the student-to-faculty ratio didn’t increase (it decreased from 17.0 to 16.3), the number of large classes on campus did. In the 2008-2009 academic year, 18 percent of classes had over 50 students. Last year, that statistic rose to 20 percent. |

peer agreement (net): +1| twenty-size veintiséis Explanation: Como Berenice, pensé en un principio que tal vez pudiera referirse a "class size": un máximo de 20 alumnos por clase. Pero no encuentro ningún indicio de que este sea el caso de los programas para graduados de la Universidad de Iowa, ni en la web de la universidad ni tampoco en los ránkings de US News & World Report. Además, "twenty-size" no es una expresión habitual; de hecho, no la he visto nunca. Estoy convencido de que se trata de un "typo", y de que debe leerse "twenty-six" por "twenty-size". Se escribe en palabras, en vez de cifras (como "25" más adelante), porque ocurre al principio de la frase; es una norma de estilo habitual en inglés. Resulta que hay exactamente 26 programas para graduados de la Universidad de Iowa que figuran entre los 25 mejores de su categoría, según los mencionados ránkings de US News & World Report: "Each year, U.S.News ranks professional school programs in business, education, engineering, law, and medicine. [...] Following are all ranked UI graduate schools, specialties, and programs, beginning with the highest-ranked programs. Rankings with an asterisk (*) are new for the 2013 issue of America’s Best Graduate Schools. All other rankings are from previous years but still stand. [1] *1 Speech-Language Pathology, master's (at the UI, this program is in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, formerly named the Department of Speech Pathology, in CLAS) [2] *2 Audiology, doctorate (CLAS) [3] 2 Nursing specialty-Gerontological/Geriatric (College of Nursing) [4] 2 Nursing specialty-Nursing Service Administration (College of Nursing) [5] 2 Physician assistant, master’s (Carver College of Medicine) [6] 2 Rehabilitation counseling, master's/doctorate (College of Education) [7] 3 Sociology specialty-Social psychology (CLAS) [8] *4 Fine Arts specialty-Printmaking, master’s (CLAS) [9] *5 Physical therapy, master’s/doctorate (Carver College of Medicine Division of Associated Medical Sciences) [10] *9 College of Medicine Specialty-Rural Medicine (Carver College of Medicine) [11] *11 Education Specialty-Student Counseling and Personnel Services (College of Education) [12] 11 Nursing, master’s (College of Nursing) [13] 11 Nursing-anesthesia, master’s (College of Nursing) [14] *12 College of Medicine-Primary Care (Carver College of Medicine) [15] 12 Nursing specialty-Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (College of Nursing) [16] *13 Education Specialty-Higher Education Administration (College of Education) [17] 14 Healthcare management, master’s (At the UI, this degree is the master's of health administration and the program is located in the College of Public Health Department of Health Management and Policy.) [18] *16 Fine Arts specialty-Painting/Drawing, master’s (CLAS) [19] *16 Medicine specialty-Family Medicine (Carver College of Medicine) [20] 16 Public Health, master’s/doctorate (College of Public Health) [21] *17 Pharmacy, Pharm.D. (College of Pharmacy) [22] *18 Clinical psychology, doctorate (CLAS) [23] *18 Medicine specialty-Internal Medicine (Carver College of Medicine) [24] *22 Engineering specialty-Environmental/Environmental Health (College of Engineering) [25] *22 Master of Fine Arts program in art and design (CLAS) [26] *25 College of Law/Law Firms Rank Schools" He numerado los programas entre corchetes. La cifra que precede al nombre del programa corresponde a su posición en el respectivo ránking. El siguiente programa de la lista, "Library and Information Studies, master’s (Graduate College)", ocupa la posición 27 en su ránking, y por tanto ya no figura entre los 25 mejores programas de su categoría. Así que, efectivamente, hay 26 programas que cumplen el mencionado criterio. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2012-09-04 14:42:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Referencia: http://now.uiowa.edu/2012/03/usnews-ranks-10-ui-programs-amo... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2012-09-04 17:14:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Aun suponiendo que "twenty-size programs" se refiere al número de estudiantes por clase, la frase no tiene mucho sentido así: "Twenty-size UI programs are ranked among the top 25 such programs in the country" "Los programas de la Universidad de Iowa con clases de veinte estudiantes están clasificados entre los mejores 25 programas de este tipo [such programs] del pais". ¿Qué quiere decir "such programs" aquí? Tiene que ser "twenty-size programs", programas con veinte estudiantes por clase, o bien "graduate programs", los programas para graduados en general. Pero no hay ningún ránking para programas de graduados con un número de estudiantes determinado. Tampoco hay un ránking de U.S. News para todos los programas para graduados de una universidad en general; se evalúan por especialidades. En este contexto, la palabra que nos ocupa tiene que ser un número. |
