Let's be honest here, guys. Connor would bitch about his work all day until his bosses banned him from the establishment.
 
what qualification does connor even get from this maths course? Its not even for a proper degree right?

I dont know quite how education works in america, but isnt this basically like him taking several years to get a-levels or a worthless diploma?

Im no fan of maths, but surely it cant be that difficult. I dont even want to believe connor is that much of a sped that he cant pass basic maths. Whats the problem? It must be solely down to laziness on his part.

In the US, when students go to a university, they're required to take a set of general education courses. The expected subjects are at least math, science, and english/writing. Students must pass them regardless of what degree they ultimately end up pursuing. Usually, the course outline for a degree is laid out so that students focus more on their gen eds as underclassmen and specialize as upperclassmen. Sometimes, students go to community college to hack through their gen ed requirements at a lower tuition cost before transferring the credits to a university.

In Connor's case, it's possible that his school doesn't care which math he takes so long as he passes, but normally a college expects a student to pass basic calculus or statistics to satisfy the math requirement. That said, I think I remember someone (Smutley?) posting that the basic algebra course is remedial and does not award credits. That means Connor would need to take a higher level math course to actually satisfy his math requirement.
 
When I was an undergrad, the highest math required to satisfy the gen ed math requirement wasn't even calculus, it was a freshman course called "Algebra and Transcendental Functions" (which I guess is just College Algebra/Advanced Algebra in most other schools), which was a prereq for Applied Calc 1 (which was required for my major).

But I'm pretty sure if someone didn't score all that great on the entrance exams, they had to take a Beginning Algebra class that was a prereq for the College Algebra class that actually fulfilled the basic math credits. So I'm pretty sure that Connor hasn't even gotten to the obligatory college "weeding out" class yet....some three years into his education.

And to fulfill another of the science credits (which I haven't heard Connor mention), like Fundamental Physics and to a lesser extent chemistry, you pretty much need basic algebra skills there too. So won't that be fun...and who wants to volunteer to be Connor's lab partner? :lol:
 
Honestly as far as I know, each school system has it's own requirements for classes. Some ask students to work up until they can do the more complex equations, while some are fine with students getting what amounts to a refresher in high school algebra.

Now this all being said, I really hope @Connor Bible does something interesting soon so everyone will stop discussing required college courses :(.

Some colleges are ridiculously lax and I've seen some where the minimum requirement is something called "business math" which is literally adding and subtracting shit.

Some schools, like my alma mater, also accept pre-calc for that. Works, but it makes physics a bitch.

There has to be something cheaper than college to act as a daycare for your useless spawn. Fuck why don't his parents just get him a dishwashing job. At least they wouldn't be wasting money for Connor to fail algebra most people learn in middle school. They can't really believe he's going to amount to anything at this point can they?

I mean I could understand if he was their only child, but they got a much more successful one so...

Most of my non-music jobs have been as a dishwasher (it's a good gig for summer and winter breaks while in undergrad). Connor wouldn't make it through a full dinner shift. He's far too lazy and probably lacks the physical capacity to keep up with it due to his sloth.

In college we had to take a maths or "modes of reasoning" which was essentially a logic course along with several others as part of the first year workload. But this math course you needed to write an entrance exam. Less than 80% on it and you'd have to take the prep class or just take the prep class and then write the exam as your final again needing 80% to pass.

Gotta admit though we had an amazing professor for that and he actually took the time to explain why the equations worked instead of just saying, "do this".

I had a friend that did that and it was called "business math". He told me on the first day, the first question was, "a jar of pickles costs $0.75. There are 15 pickles in the jar. How much does each pickle cost?"

He asked the professor if this was a joke because this was third grade nonsense. But no, the entire course was based on multiplication, division, fractions and decimals. And you know the really sad thing was? Some people actually failed.

At my college, they have math classes below the College Algebra level, like Elementary Algebra and Intermediate Algebra. It all depends on how well you did on the Math placement test. Without it, you're not qualified to take College Algebra. Some majors at the school don't even require College Algebra at all.

This. When I did the placement test, I barely passed the math part so they put me in remedial Algebra. Usually these classes are pretty spoon fed in order for you to move on and not have to take it again. I'm kinda shocked Connor hasn't been able to get out of that class.

Connor probably forgot too.

All I could ever get out of him when I asked what he was majoring in was "associate of arts."

That's a type of degree, not a major, but okey doke. The truth is, he doesn't know why he's in college and neither does anyone else.
