I mean, what do you want them to do? Invest resources in splitting up material into multiple courses when they should have learned it before even coming to college? It's not their fault public schools suck.
- ghaff 5y agoAll public schools do not suck but especially urban schools can have a lot of problems and many of the students don't have a great home environment either,
- dubya 5y agoState universities kind of do have this responsibility. My school is doing more or less this, restructuring some of the math sequences that have a high failure rate, like precalc/calc 1. Also state universities are where most of the public school teachers and administrators trained, so they probably deserve a little of the blame for the state of public schools.
- eigenket 5y agoIMO the only stuff a student "should have learned" is stuff that they can't get onto the course without knowing. Allowing someone onto the course, for which "x" is a prerequisite, who doesn't know "x" is entirely the university's responsibility.
