College dropout rates

[MNomadic]

Also I think we had a thread here (that I posted in) about professors who make it harder. Some students might be struggling and try to get help from the professor and still not understand the material. Or they get one or two bad grades and figure they need to drop out rather than get a C or D.

I was actually just talking to someone last night who mentioned he had calculus class and how that calculus professor added in a ton of extra stuff to make it way harder like giving them take-home tests that required 30-40 hours to finish. He also mentioned this same class had an 80% failure rate so it was a good class. I told him that if 80% of a class fails, that's a terrible teacher. His mind was blown at seeing things from that perspective.
