Santa Fe Community College Cuts Programs

[PrettyFlyforaChiGuy]

I've had several colleges tell me I needed to retake my math after 5 years. I was annoyed but now I understand why. It's not that the principles have changed. It's that you forget how to use them when you don't use them for years. 

Agreed, and I think the policy could be balanced to allow exceptions if people do well enough on some proficiency exam. I took up to like Calc III with solid A's back in the Long Long Ago, but Sophia's Algebra course was a welcomed humbling trip down Memory Lane.

We all forget a lot of this stuff over time, but I bet you I'll be able to inscribe "the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell" on my gravestone.

They seem to have a few of the somewhat more challenging classes to find (intermediate accounting, managerial accounting, criminal justice, calculus II), plus a few unusual offerings (mostly languages: Portuguese I, Japanese I... Their class lookup function is a PITA to use. 

Any idea how to even check if courses are available online? They definitely baked us a PITA bread. And amazing finds; they have both of these niche languages I used to love, but have long since become old flames. Might be about to fall in love all over again thanks to this place.
