You are much closer to a special case than you think. Average attendance in my and my colleagues Math 101 classes is around 30% by mid semester.

- jncfhnb 1y agoi would guess math 101 to be the least attended class across the board though
- pessimizer 1y agoIsn't it basically a remedial class, or rather a class for people who did the minimum of HS math? I would expect it to be filled with more partiers than studiers, and also that plenty of the people in it would already know a lot of the material that's covered (so why not ditch?)
- hollandheese 1y ago>plenty of the people in it would already know a lot of the material that's covered (so why not ditch?) Their test scores show that they don't already know a lot of the material that's covered. >Isn't it basically a remedial class, or rather a class for people who did the minimum of HS math? It's College Algebra (or the non-trig part of Precalculus).
- jncfhnb 1y agoI’d have to imagine that very few people in that class want to take it or have any intention of doing more math than the minimum requirement.
- rahimnathwani 1y agoDoes College Algebra at your school cover something beyond what's typically included in HS 'Algebra 2'?
- hollandheese 1y agoLike I said, it's the typical HS Precalculus class. So, it's the level above Algebra 2.
