There's a difference between teaching math majors at a top-25 school and teaching "business calculus". In the first case the students and the instructor have congruent purposes, but in the second case you'll find students who are missing the prerequisites and who think that showing up is deserving of a passing grade.
- reureu 7y agoI would argue "top-25 school" isn't a necessary qualifier here. What you're talking about is students with intrinsic motivation to study a certain topic, and that exists regardless of the caliber of the school. dvs, at even the "worst" state school, the math majors probably want to be in their classes; if they didn't they would have picked a major perceived to be easier.
