[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 922608, member: 198"] Survey of Calculus. Still, that's much more than College Algebra, which is all most BA majors require. Most of the players on our FB team would not be admitted to Tech if not for their playing football. However, these guys are still working their tails off to do the class work, regardless of how much help they get. As far as I'm concerned, any resource is an acceptable resource. After over 35 years of engineering consulting, I've never been told that I can't have support. I rely on all types of resources (including human resources) to answer the questions I'm asked to answer. I'm a strong proponent of open-book examinations. In what world are engineers (or anyone, really) required to memorize anything. Tests should probe one's understanding of the subject rather than test your ability to recall formulae and equations. I feel like our institutions of higher learning are failing our youth and not preparing them for the real world. Just my opinion. Edit: I know. There's a lot to unpack in those two paragraphs.
