[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, my son is at RPI and also went in without having completed full calculus. He ended up failing the main intro calc class despite working quite hard to pass it. It was a shock to him, failing, but I wanted to let you know that this is relatively common at RPI and supports are there to retake the class and move on. A lot of the kids have never failed before, so it can be a shock, but RPI wants them to succeed and there are many extra support resources available. [/quote] Ugh, well this is exactly what I feared. I suppose it’s good your DS decided to remain at RPI and hopefully stayed in his major? [/quote] Yes, he wants to stay and will continue with the same major! Despite the academic difficulty of the classes, he really likes RPI. We offered / encouraged him to consider changing majors or even transferring to an easier school, but he seems to like the challenge of RPI.[/quote]
