<p>^Different people may have different strengths, but an institution making exceptions for individuals trying to circumvent distribution requirements is questionable. If someone takes first-year chemistry at a community college over the summer, then he should be required to complete a third semester course or pass the second semester chemistry course at his home institution in order to fulfill the requirement.</p>
<p>Outsourcing a distribution requirement to miscellaneous community colleges and less reputable 4-year institutions isn’t the way to go. Reed needs to up the level of its students either by admission or course prerequisites or offer a lower level science course. Does University of Chicago allow its students to complete the BSD and PSD requirements of two biological sciences courses, two physical sciences courses and two math courses at UIC or City Colleges of Chicago over the summer? Absolutely not!</p>
