I only studied about that amount of time but did not find things particularly difficult.
87% of college students have no business being in college.
Calculus 1: Young kid only a couple years my senior (I had spent over four years Active Duty) stood at the board and taught only to two kids just out of high school who were very bright. He ignored the rest of us and actually would denigrate us for trying to ask questions.
Calculus 2: Some guy from India wearing shorts, a tank top, and flip flops. He stood at the board with his back to us and never turned around or entertained any questions.
Both times I dropped the class and went down to the local Community College (it was ranked as one of the top five in the nation) and took Calculus from a retired 70 year old lady with a PhD in Mathematics. She actually knew how to teach people and was my most memorable, in a good way, professor.
I graduated with a degree in Chemical Engineering in 1969. This was a small city college at that time, now the University of Toledo.
The lowest math class for which anyone could get credit was Math 181, Calculus I. There was an Algebra class, but it was 0 credit for those who needed it before taking Calculus.
Nowadays, you get college credit for classes such as, “How to Study”.
Indeed.
The dirty little secret of so called higher education which nobody will say out loud is that if you can afford to make the payments, you are getting the degree.
For the life of me, I do not see why people fly here from all over the world to study.
MORE of the Legacy of PARTICIPATION TROPHIES
Sure is a glaring problem NOW, isn’t it???
OTJT should never be forced on the employer.
They should ALL major in art
You’re talking to one now. Electrical. Laplace transforms and all.
Accompanied by the legacy of PARTICIPATION TROPHIES...
LOL.
Quit farting around and partying and start taking your education seriously. You’ll be surprised at how easy school becomes.
” I went to college and worked at the same time.”
So did I; so did a lot of people back in the day. I had the GI Bill and a student loan, and those went to tuition, books, etc. For everyday living expenses I worked part-time at various jobs, depending on how I could juggle the school hours and the work hours.
