@KaiserKitty@clubcyberia.co @prettygood@socially.drinkingatmy.computer yeah college courses being that way is a well known problem. I think partly it's because profs expect undergrads to be like grad students, who can be reasonably expected to teach themselves things. But most undergrads don't have the confidence to do that and/or go to office hours. There is sort of a meme among calc teachers that a lot of our students don't know how to add fractions. The reality is that most of them do know how to do it, they just haven't done it in a while, didn't do it many times when they did do it, and have low confidence in their own ability. It just takes a lot of prompting .
