Calls for Reforms for Courses That Have High DFW Rate

[ss20ts]

I also think it's the professor a lot of the time, not the course. I don't think that schools can fix that problem easily.

Yup. Some people are HORRIBLE at teaching and really don't have any idea how to teach. Some are such hard asses and that doesn't help anyone. Some make watching paint dry feel like the WWE. Just because someone is a professor doesn't mean that they're good at it.....just like every other job. There's great ones. There's crap ones. There are those who care and those who are only there for the paycheck, pension, and summers off. I've taken the same class with different professors a few times and it's like night and day. In those cases, the professor was all the difference. We used the same textbook.
