[QUOTE="MountainBuzzMan, post: 401730, member: 3069"] Yep, EE89. I had Dr Su and his 69 average in EE3200. I have a feeling we are talking past each other. Back then there were a lot of kids who did not have the core intelligence to just make it naturally. But Tech was not going to let kids get out unless they could cut it in the real world, so there was a lot of wash outs. Teachers had no choice but to make it tough. Today that has changed. The level of intelligence that is being accepted is far superior than it was back then. Also there is a huge support structure that did not exist back then. My original post was talking about the material covered back then verses comparing the tests and materials that my daughter took just recently. They were comparable. So it is not easier. The only difference I see is there are no more trick questions designed to create a grade distribution curve to make sure the kids who did get out can cut it. That is no longer necessary and does not de-value the quality of the education the kids are getting today. The grade curve back then was a direct result of the quality of kids getting let in.
