#there were two offered that didnt have other prerequisites

Becoming increasingly frustrated with the entire concept of “weed-out” classes at an undergraduate academic level.

IF you have a deliberately engineered a class that has a pass rate of less than 40%, you are a bad teacher! That is UNCONSICIONABLE in a world where a single college course can easily cost over $1000 plus books and materials! These are undergrads! Their ability to continue to attend school and get out with a Bachelor’s in ANYTHING is probably reliant on scholarships and grants and loans, and you are PROUD of designing a money-pit deliberately set up to make them fail?? Absolutely disgusting tbh

ESPECIALLY when the class is also one of the few the entire university offers that meets a NEEDED REQUIREMENT to graduate for almost all programs.

#everyone needs a lab ge #there were two offered that didnt have other prerequisites #we had two hundred people in this ge lab #the highest grade was a c- so if there wasnt an insane curve only a handful of students would have passed
