<p>Dean J,
Thanks for responding, but with all due respect, I’m not looking for a tutor on CC.
I’m using CC to vent that, IMHO, this is a really poorly taught class (on many levels) at UVA, and perhaps this can serve as a warning for others considering taking this class.</p>
<p>Also, perhaps by me venting I can catch the attention of a Dean (such as you) who might say, something like…hmmmm, that’s not a good presentation for UVA? Why is that so? Should someone look at the class averages and drop out rate and consider revamping such a critical class for those pursuing the pre-med requisites?<br>
Really, I’m not the only one thinking along these lines. Here’s a link from searching physics at UVA: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-virginia/345354-avoidance.html?highlight=physics+curves[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-virginia/345354-avoidance.html?highlight=physics+curves</a></p>
<p>Thanks for your comments though. I’m not very vocal most times but I appreciate your posts and follow them closely.
I’ve vented, and now I’ll be quiet.</p>
<p>Oh, and thanks MechWahoo, I probably will stick it out 
not that I want to. OK, no more whining.</p>
