This is why I'm a bad professor, half of my last calculus class failed. Most of the students were pre-med or engineering majors. Fortunately none of the students who failed will be your doctor , or designing a bridge for you.

I had a score of at least 12 on my S.A.T.’s and I have designed and built bridges.

Naaah. I'll bet it's because you are a racist or homophobe or both. Or maybe just a patriarchal misogynist!

(Keep failing them if they don't know the stuff! Passing them does no one any good.)

My nephew teaches math at a Ivy in NYC :), he showed me one illuminating exam. The student didn’t answer question and wrote “my calculator doesn’t have this function”

He also told me story of one of his PhD students who came into his office, closed the door and said “I have gotten straight As since 7th grade, taken the most demanding mathematics courses in undergrad also straight As, but I have no idea what my Chinese educated classmates are talking about”
