Guess whose daughter was busting the curve with 97’s and 99’s?

A couple of students in my business statistics class got a little upset with me for doing the same thing. I was the ONLY student in that class that had taken any calculus. I set up a couple of group-study meetings with a few other students to try to bring them up to speed. Many had simply not been exposed to any math since basic algebra in high school some 20 years earlier.

She offered to do study sessions in her physics class - in a library conference room 2 days a week, but it was a no-go. It seems the bulk of them preferred to be in a more relaxed setting, like in a dorm room, with pizza, and beer.

Mmmmm... not so much

Ugh, I don't think you should be able to have a bachelor's degree in anything without calculus.

If you aren't learning calculus, you're basically paying tuition to belong to a book club.

In that case, perhaps the course should had made calculus an explicit prerequisite, rather than having students find out too late that they didn't have the background to pass.
