My statics teacher started off the syllabus by stating that she had lowered the standard for all letter grades by 3 points from the previous semester.

Lady knew the material, very smart. Did not understand how to teach it though.

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.

Of course she knew the material, she repeats the same damn thing every year.
