This is because 100-200 level math courses are not about teaching anything, but about filtering out students who can't do the work. This is 100% incorrect.

- michaelt 2y agoHave you ever heard of "weed-out courses" ? Admittedly, they are about teaching things. For example, teaching Laplace transforms to mechanical engineers. It certainly isn't true to say the "courses are not about teaching anything". But if 20% of the class should decide to change majors to business? Well, there's been some filtering out of students too.
