AI Thread Summary
A student expressed frustration after passing a calculus midterm despite not attending class for three weeks, attributing their success to prior knowledge from high school. The course covers material they have already mastered, leading to concerns about the educational system's structure and credit allocation for advanced placement tests. The discussion delves into the differences between quarter and semester systems, with participants questioning the rationale behind the extended duration of introductory calculus courses. The student feels they are wasting time retaking material and highlights the lack of options for testing out of the course. Others suggest finding ways to engage more meaningfully in their studies, such as seeking research opportunities. The conversation also touches on grading practices, including the implications of a grading curve, and the overall effectiveness of the educational experience for high-achieving students.
