Read that the first two college years are mostly remedial studies,,,teaching them what they should have learned in high school. The real college work doesn’t begin until their junior year.

This is true in most colleges, and has even reached the top schools like UW Madison and UC Berkeley.

I’d have to agree. I teach Core Humanities at the local community college. Mostly Sophomores who cannot write to save their lives. My courses are history intensive and writing intensive. I tell the students on Day 1 that while an “A” might be the most common grade on college campuses, unfortunately for them, they are in Professor Crapgame’s class and an “A” is the LEAST common grade I give out. I usually have at least as many if not more “F”s...
