Guide rates UH-Manoa among 81 ‘best values’
Craig Gima, Honolulu Star-Bulletin, Tuesday, April 19, 2005:

The University of Hawaii at Manoa ranks among the top 81 schools offering the "best value" undergraduate college education in the United States, according to a book published yesterday... But the review's rankings have not always been kind to the university. The 2005 edition of the "Best 357 College" listings, published annually in August, lists UH-Manoa in the top 20 schools in six more dubious categories... UH-Manoa ranked No. 2 in the "professors make themselves scarce" category, meaning that students surveyed thought too many classes were taught by graduate assistants. It also ranked No. 4 in "class discussions rare," which surveyed students on the ratio of discussion vs. lectures in class.
