Honestly I very disappointed Clemson no longer


Sep 24, 2018, 12:44 PM

teaches calculus. I took it as a student, evidently g tech is the only college in the country that teaches it. The broadcast team mentioned it several times. Tnet needs to do something. We should fire the president, deans, AD and coaches, then expellee these lazy students ! Let's make Clemson great again.

LOL - I majored in math, and calculus was a be-otch for me. I would have loved to see them stop teaching it when I was there. That and Analytical Geometry (I think it was) was a burr in my butt.

You probably made a lot of people happy if they believed you, and they will wake up tomorrow and still have to go to class. :)

I'm in your boat....remember my second semester calculus....the class had a 75% fail rate at Clemson, if that tells you how bad it was. Didn't help the fact that it was taught by student aids and they didn't teach things the way the head of the department that did the tests expected it to me known.

Is it because more high schools offer it?***

Hey that makes sense. The gtech students don't take it in HS, so it's a remedial class there. All are students take it in HS, so it's redundant. Whew, I feel better now.

This is a joke right? If you are majoring in most any math or science curriculum it is a requirement.
Examples:

Yes a joke. The broadcast team kept repeating gtech calculus and calculus that, as if no other college students take it. Sorry for any confusion.

Like many of you it kicked my keister. I am quite proud I had the highest ave. in my class, 77%. He curved me to a B but flat-out laughed in my face when I asked for a curved A. LOL. As it turned out, I changed majors and had use it as a free elective ???

Huge difference in offering a class vs making it a gen ed requirement


Sep 24, 2018, 1:29 PM

I'd argue that Clemson's gen ed requirements (public speaking, science, math, and history requirements) is one of the things that make its students superior to those that graduate from that other in state school.
Having calculus as a gen ed is pretty inpressive.

Is it a required course at Ga Tech for all students?

Maybe that was the point they were making.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yes it is


Sep 24, 2018, 2:29 PM

I didn't see the broadcast but all GT students have to take calc including football players. That was probably the point they were making.

I thought calculus was easy but apparently I have not retained that knowledge. Couldn't work a problem now if my life depended on it. Thermodynamics was the toughest course I ever had. The every day problems we had in class did not seem to be difficult but those tests were a lulu. One of the football players and I had the only A's in the class with a grade of 65. Thank goodness for the curve.

One of the stories years ago was about a student at Clemson who flunked Thermo twice under the same professor. One summer he decided to go to Auburn and see if he could pass the course there. When he walked in the class room on his first day at Auburn, the Professir at Auburn was thew same professor he had at Clemson.
