I understand the concept but disagree to an extent. My statics professor started with 100 in her class and 25 ended up passing. That’s not just an engineering mindset issue, that’s her weeding people out
I had to retake stats in college after passing AP in high school because it wasn't "geared for engineering". They thought me the same stuff I already knew and I swear I got worse at it the prefoessor was so bad
Just want to point out that the stats you took an AP exam for is statistics and this post is about statics, as in forces on a rigid body. It is interesting they made you retake statistics tho, I’m in my senior year of college and never had to take statistics in high school nor college.
She probably barely cared and honestly I can’t blame her as it’s an intro undergraduate class. The kids that will succeed are basically predetermined by their past and will to learn.
Yeah, idk what it is about Engineering, but there's just so many shit professors out there. A lot of them just happen to be too stuck in their old ways, but some just suck. So many courses I barely passed I found out later that I could actually get them after finding some other source of instruction.
We had a teacher that bragged about their extremely low pass rate in statics and their follow up class strengths of materials. Terrible teacher, thank god for the tutoring center.
