Kudos to Ben Rifkin for reducing that attrition rate! That's really terrific!
Now Ben, would you please tell us your recipe for success? Reducing attrition
is our number one priority here in the Russian program. Unfortunately,
our star lecturer, whom students would follow to the moon, if need be,
got
tired of being exploited at part-timer pay rates, and is leaving. I'm sure
using the right textbook and being young and energetic helps, but anything
more substantive in the way of advice owuld be very appreciated. E. Tall
