"The way the course was run did not at all set up students to succeed — or even learn math. For example, though we were provided with practice problems to prepare for our exams, we were never given solutions. My class consistently begged my professor for these, yet all he could say was that not providing them was departmental policy, and it was out of his control." The calculus courses when I was in college (not at Princeton, in 1986-1990) were taught by assigned reading and problem sets in the text book, which were graded by TAs, and a run through the proof that a given technique worked in the lectures. It is what it is.
