Advocates for "harder classes" also seem to be completely ignorant of the fact that students have far more learning resources than ever before and that the quality of education as it relates to conveyance of course material to students has increased since the 60s. Students have far more access to professors, TAs, and each other than they did in the stone ages.
- alexgmcm 7y agoExactly - the alternative would be that students were doing worse or exactly the same despite having the huge benefits from new technology, teaching methods, resources etc. That would be far more concerning. As a personal example - KhanAcademy launched the year before I went to University and helped me a lot as it meant I could be fully confident of my calculus and linear algebra skills (we studied these topics in Further Maths but not multivariate calculus etc.)
