Topic	Do College professors have a quota of students that should fail the class?

There's something seriously wrong with that kind of scaling. Well the calculus class was just extremely hard. The professor barely ever did example questions in class and basically spent the two hours just writing proofs on the board and jumping from one thing to the next with barely any explanations. You essentially had to learn the whole course by yourself Doesn't mean the class is hard - you just have a bad teacher. Half the students failing your class would trigger my alarm bells if I were the dean or chairperson, but what do I know. --- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. - Confucius <cite>Super Saiyan 3 Goku posted [p:892681153] in Do College...
