Community Colleges generally are NOT looking to fail students. My daughter is taking CH 227, 228, and 229 (6 credits each with Lab) three straight at the University of Oregon and they BRAG about flunking 400 students this year in Sophomore CHEM alone.:ack: University does NOT mean a better education. It just reinforces my opinion that the UofO is a waste of time the first two years.banghead

It depends on why those students failed. A high pass rate also does not mean that the education was better. It could mean that the class was easier. I took statistics with an easy professor, but I felt unprepared for a more advanced statistics course and the comprehensive exam I had to take. I ended up studying the notes of a student who took stats with the more difficult professor with the higher fail rate. The reason why he had the higher fail rate was because his course was more quantitative and made heavy use of statistical analysis software whereas the other professor's course was more conceptual and only spent a day on statistical analysis software.
