1+1 = 3 at ASU

Wow! Not a day goes by in my classes where a classmate (graduate students) confesses their lack of basic math skills. O.K. I understand that maybe you watched too much TV when you were young or you were not a very good student BUT now you are in graduate school (wait, how in the hell did these people get in?!?!?!). I would hope ASU made sure you had at least basic skills to be admitted.

The other day, one classmate actually complained to the professor, in front of everyone, that the course syllabus or description never said anything about needing math skills. Hello!!! Basic math, reading, writing and speaking are assumed! If you don't have them, you need to leave. Better yet, commit a crime so you can go to prison and the general population can be safer without such idiots! Some of these guys are PhD students and they are suppose to teach future students. What is wrong with this picture?

I'm surprise students haven't complained that the syllabus didn't say anything about needing to "think, write, or speak".

No wonder over 50 percent of graduate degree are going to foreign born students versus U.S. educated.
