@ucbalumnus , the course description is more cover their @$$, they can say I told you so. Like expiration of vitamin, drug company just dosn’t want to be sued. And I won’t get sick by eating 6 month expired vitamins. Of course no one would sue college for the syllabus. we are talking about first year college course. Do you ever see remedial course of Physics 099 in college? Lot of HS doesn’t require Physics as science requirement, some allow Biology or Chemistry. So those students should not take Physics at all in college? I don’t know all individuals, I know a large portion may not be able to do it. I am sure there are good amount of students can make it, at least a B even has no exposure in Physics. Not everyone takes piano class in college has played piano before.
