‘Waste of time’: Community college transfers derail students

[Hawkeye10]

Community colleges are losing customers rapidly because of lack of value for money.

Next up the 4 year universities, which have been largely destroyed by the WOKE suicide cult.

Still designing yachts occasionally, it’s a shitload of fun.

Sure. I can see that.

Well, only about a third of the population is really college material. That has been the percentage, give or take a bit, for over a century now. I really don't see it suddenly changing.

I certainly agree colleges do a lot to make money, but it makes no sense to get rid of them. If they are doing well they won't drop out in their third year, so you make sure they pass. Then, you have a full college of students every year.

When I was in college I heard students talking about "flunk out" courses, but I never found that to be true. And, after 40 years of higher ed teaching I saw just the opposite occurring. Faculty who taught elective courses made them easy to attract students. I saw faculty members not rehired because they were too difficult. I never saw one fired because they were too easy. Hard teachers get too many student complaints.

Of course. If you show up and do the work, even poorly, you will pass.

I was referring to the freshman year where the curriculum is designed with “busy work” to overwhelm students and make those who won’t last leave sooner than later.

As you know, the further along you get in college the easier it gets

You never attended college, correct?

If I could do it over again I woulda got a 2 year associate degree in land surveying that leads to certification.
I swam upstream for a long time.
