I thought this level of stupidity was a myth.

I've seen a lot of complaints about people being fucking retarded in college but I figured it was rare and most happened at community colleges or really low level classes.

I am in a Chemistry course, granted it's a introductory course but you're supposed to know basic Algebra to be in it.

One girl was stumped that 3+2x=3y could be the same as 2x-3y=-3

One guy couldn't figure out that 2x+3=3y was the same as 3y=2x+3

At one point the teacher was explaining that 2 x 1 =2 was the same as 1 x 2 = 2.

Seriously, what the flying fuck, this is supposed to be review. Mind blown, seriously. Also now wondering if I should had taken the text to skip this class, but this is still review so probably will get harder later. :P

...how can someone not understand that? It's freaking addition and subtraction, but with letters. I'm starting a chemistry degrees soon, I hope its not like that as having studied A level maths (done age 16-18, so quite advanced) isn't a requirement. You do need a fair bit of maths for chemistry, which makes it even more awesome.

No math requirement? :ohnoes: Well maybe they just require highschool math? That's what this course tells you to have. The highest math I took as Calculas ab, didn't do too well though. Got bs and cs. The precal course didn't prepare me at all. :stare: It was insanely easy.

We have a different system to you, my degree (and a lot of others) require maths GCSE (which you do age 14-16) but not A level (aged 16-18). They prefer it though. Yeah you need SOME maths, it makes chemistry so much easier.

And I thought the woman in political science who asked if communism was telling another country what to do was bad.

:lol: Telling another country what to do? Where would you even get that idea?

She was a really old woman. I assume it might have something to do with growing up during the Cold War and all the anti-communist sentiment. Doesn't change the fact that that was the dumbest thing I'd heard in a long time.

It will get harder, possibly. They'll be talking about 3(x+1)=3x+3 by Christmas :nuu:
