An unimpressive teacher, but that’s the pattern. I once tried redoing a math class as a CC because I wasn’t comfortable with the possible gaps that would come from being in the remedial version at HS. I had to take a placement test, tested out and then I insisted that I wanted to take it anyway, I was told it had filled up. It somehow had four openings later that night when I checked of anyone had dropped online.
Ideally, I’d like to redo certain classes in a CC, but not accumulate credits so I can apply as a freshman at a real college and get involved in UROP.
I don’t trust placement tests. When you’re in the remedial track, any failure proves you need the extra help and any success proves how much of a good fit you are for the extra help. Placement tests just skim the surface and only “work” under the assumption that you wont need anything that’s not covered by them.
I doubt four people dropped the class in the few hours after I was told it was full. One or two, sure, but four? And they were instanced that I shouldn’t take the class, so I suspect that they lied about it being full. The class being full was a frequent lie I was told in HS whenever I was trying to get into better classes. Funny how I was the only student who that they never seemed to have room for.
I mean…that sounds like maybe a bad teacher. Not really a reflection of the school.

So you tested out of remedial math, but wanted to take it anyway. But it was full. Got it-tracking
So you checked later and slots opened up which is…normal? And you didn’t take it?
And this is the fault of community colleges everywhere?
I don’t get it.
