This is why it's important to remember who the college consumer is (you) and what the product you're buying is (not grades, but knowledge). Of course it's not that way for all. Many students are buying a diploma and/or access to certain networks of people. That's fine, but for the average state school attendee, they'd be far better off taking their time in college, not worrying about grades, and asking to take a course again for free if they didn't learn enough the first time.
