When I teach upper level or graduate courses in math most of my students pass because they don't get into these classes unless they are prepared. When I teach freshmen classes, like calculus 1, my pass rate is usual only about 40 percent. Most freshmen should not even have a high school diploma. I often have freshmen that can't add fractions, or do basic arithmetic with out a calculator. The worse students tend to have delusions of grandeur, unrealistic expectations of reality, and inflated egos. The snowflakes always blame me for failing my course, it's never their fault.

To: Do the math

Unfortunately, many graduate courses in many school have little pre-requisites. They also don’t require math or other more difficult subjects.

I’ve come across many people with an MS in something but have little to no understanding of math or science.
