Stupid parents are fools separated from their money.
LOL. College was better back then.
Adding to my post #68...
Assuming your brother is in college today, here’s another possibility: If the prof teaches at multiple colleges, he/she might have given your brother’s class an exam from another course at another college, just to avoid the extra work of creating a new exam.
America is finished.
“He wound up interning at the NSA.”
Cool place.
I wouldn’t know...
:)
who sue the parents - the kids or the university - and why
The teachers taught them well. Commies always get eaten by their commie off spring.
I am so sick of this crap! Why even have colleges at all?? None of these snowflakes wants to go to class, take tests, etc. Just give everyone a degree in the major of their choice and be done with it!
Expel them all.
Good luck finding gainful employment with those bogus, unearned “A”s.
My conclusion, an exam to find out the class genius
BTW, my Brother went on to earn a Masters of Engineering
Exactly.
Kids that were #1 and #2 in High School learn they are not so special. No more coasting, hit the bokoks and listen to the lecture
No, decades ago.
Still a top tier school for Engineers and Computer Science
Ah, I see... In that case, my other posts don’t apply.
Guessing your brother’s professor was trying to weed out students.
You really, really hope not. I'd like to see lists made with photographs, so we'd know who to avoid.
If this "school" tells them anything but "Take a hike", it should be shut down and the endowment confiscated or something.
My sophomore chemical engineering class was doing brain twister mass balance solutions. Algebra only. Prerequisites were freshman algebra and freshman chemistry I & II. About 60 started the class IIRC, about 20 passed it C or better. Easily half of the students dropped the class after the first test. No mercy.
Mechanical and electrical have their own introductory classes as well. Lots of folks don't make it through but I don't recall the typical weed out rate. I had to take two ME and one EE classes that were in this intro category. Not familiar at all with civil engineering or “environmental” engineering. Meteorology is also in the engineering college and is probably harder than ChE.
The rigor of that ChE class came in handy 15 years later when doing a mass balance for an entire oil refinery using the monthly production reports. It took 9 months. 2/3 of this was the math (computer assisted), 1/3 writing a public domain report to submit to regulators, a management report for internal use and a training plan for operations.
It was a mid-term, not a final exam.
