Linear algebra or intro to programming courses have higher failure rate?

[QUOTE="jedishrfu, post: 5454103, member: 376845"] This is/was true at some schools where they have a high level of students wanting to pursue CS and so they use an intro course to screen out students. My first experience of this was in the 80's when my wife took a CS class. It had a 50% drop out rate and I asked why and was told its to weed out the students who don't already know something about programming and this was just before the era of the personal computer. I'm sure big universities do this still although its more accepted and students are expected to have a high level of proficiency when they attend the class. [/QUOTE]
