What are your general comments?

In defense of USC, I felt that grading of 130 typodonts was nicely done. It is obvious to a trained eye to tell who is capable and who is not. No need to analyze under a microscope. It was a fair amount of time to evaluate. They didn't waste our time or theirs, unlike other schools who shall remain nameless.
