<p>I am not a fan of this type class either, but as with intro classes that are taught by TA’s (my other big gripe with universities), I don’t think they are going to go away anytime soon. Shoot, at the high school level there are more and more classes being offered online, especially in the summers for credit, and a lot of graduate school classes are being done like this. </p>
<p>Our next door neighbor is an ChemE major and took the MathEmporium his freshman year. He said it wasn’t bad and like septembermom’s son, he did fine because he went to the Empo whenever he needed it. I hope my guy, who isn’t strong in math, will follow through and do the same. (But I will tell him about the Philosophy and Logic Class so he can check into that- thanks guillaume)</p>
