[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why wouldn't you NOT take the placement test and take 101, 102 for the easy A?[/quote] Well my kid actually wants to use his time in college to learn and would be bored silly in a class where he already knew the material so there’s that. Plus I’m not paying tuition so to buy a meaningless A for him. But I guess if you value the diploma but not the education you could do that. [/quote] Seriously. Started foreign language in middle school. Took AP in 11th and something past that in 12th. My first class in college was a 300 level literature course conducted in the language. I would have been miserable in a course where they were learning basic grammar rules. For people who think being educated is checking off boxes on a list of requirements, I guess they don't get how awesome and valuable becoming fluent in a second language is? [/quote]
