Two Oregon State University graduates failed the Army ASVAB (true story)!banghead Maybe OSU is a bad University? Maybe they are just dumb?:imwithstupid:

Hahaha! Funny, but two students is not the same as 35-40% of the students who were failing the CPNE.

When I attended Morehouse College, I took a course in Cell Biology, with the dean of the department/school of science and mathematics. In the course their were 70 students, out the 70 students enrolled only 1 student made A's on the quizzes and tests that were offered in the course. No student even made B's in the course, every one was at a C or below in the course. Personally, at the time I felt that the way the professor taught the course was why I made the grade I did in the course. He taught on the chalkboard, instead of powerpoints which my other professors would lecture from; he would draw cells on the chalkboard ect. However, looking back at it now I noticed I wasn't as dedicated in the course as I should have been. However, is it my fault I passed the course with only a "C" or should I and the other 69 students who barely passed the course or failed should we blame the professor or Morehouse College for our grades?

Matter of fact in the biology department their were specific courses with high first time fail rates, most students knew they would have to take the course a second time before they even enrolled the first time. However, should Morehouse College be of blame for the students who failed such courses or should the students be of blame?

When I taught a university course, since it was my first time teaching at that school and I was a TA, the head of the School of Criminal Justice looked at whether or not the grades in my course skewed high or low. Basically, she was looking for the Bell Curve. The ideal distribution would be a plurality scoring Cs, a little less students scoring Bs and Ds, and the lowest number of students scoring As and Fs. A C student is an average student.

When a program has a low NCLEX or state bar pass rate, it's considered a bad program. Either there are issues with the program or the admissions requirements. It's advised that prospective students stay away from schools with low NCLEX and state bar pass rates. Why is that? Princeton University has a 90% graduation rate. I guess they're too easy and shouldn't be celebrating?
