[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kid is a freshman in Chemical Engineering. Told by admin to be happy with a C in engineering courses. Says it is hard. Seems happy.[/quote] If you don't mind, I am a humanities major with engineering-type kids. From what I hear, a lot of courses are not only difficult but are graded differently than humanities. For example, a lot of students will have 40s, 50s, 60s as their grade during the term and then at the end a curve is applied. Has anyone else heard of this, and if so, what is the point? I understand the weed out courses, but shouldn't the goal be to teach students in a way that they master concepts instead of survive them? Thanks for helping someone with no engineering experience.[/quote]
