I think they should eliminate recovery classes because they do not give credits and also one loses time instead of increasing what it does is that it goes down but also one takes more time to graduate and that is why there are many people who get disenchanted and stop studying because they do not give credit or anything like that.
What people need to understand is that it's a combination of the how the instructor teaches their ciriculum and how the student intakes the information. In high school, we had one of the hardest Algebra 1 text that took the principles and exponentially made the material harder than it should be. And most of it consisted of word problems which I has trouble translating. Hence I got an F. In the community college system, there was more hand-held holding and the use of online computer homework made it easier. Hence, I actually got A's in elementary and intermediate algebra. Additionally, on the quarter system, there is even less time to cover every single topic in a 10 week course. Additionally, there were only a couple word problems on the test, which made it easier. Additionally, instructors would have a day for review of what types of problems that could be on the exam or final. Yes, the first time I took intermediate algebra after high school I did fail it. But I got the equivalents of an A when I took the class a decade later. Do I remember most of it nope? But sin^2theta + cos^2theta=1 was mailed into my head. But that was from precalculus. I took that class 3 timess. But some students never make it to precalculus. And if they do, trig us covered so fast, they might not get it. If I took calculus 1, yes. I would review everything. However, I must say to all you commenter that it's not always the students fault and some college instructors teach intermediate algebra from a calculus or physycs perspective and thus never communicate the simple principles of algebra. For example, there is an instructor at my college who has been there for years, but there have been so many complaints about how bad his methodology is. You shouldn't teach intermediate algebra from a physics or stem point of view. Teach it at its most basic of basics rise/run. And if there is a question regarding ball trajectory in a parabolic fashion, teachers need to go over how the quadratic equation applies on regards to height or just the first part of the equation x= -b/2a and then plug that in to the original quadratic equation which is usually -16t^2 + initial velocity T + h (which =0 of you throw it up). This is a traditional intermediate algebra test that is SIMPLE if the teacher goes over it in class. Now, a hard teacher would want 75% to get it wrong, so he or she would add in that it bounced 3 additional times. That's not necessary for intermediate remedial algebra. It's not physycs. It's algebra. Teach the basics so students can pass. That is my point. It's about HOW you teach it and the resources given to you. If you've never taken physics how can your teacher expect you to apply to the equation that the ball bounces 3 additional times like a mechanics 1 class would write? They should not exist that out of algebra students. It really can be simple. But since teachers make it so complicated instead of etching the most basics of basics, they are going to loose half their class in lala land.
California has new law AB 705 for the reason placing too many students in remedial course their highly unlikely to seceed and should have in Nevada state also.
He's at UNLV taking a remedial class. To get accepted u need a 3.0 gpa or a 21 on ACT TEST. U probably got the 21 or higher on act test. But scored really low on math section u need at least a 22. Thats a college requirement. That's why u need a remedial course but who knows 🤷
Honestly any student in remedial classes in college should think again about attending college....if someone is in remedial classes then they should literally not at all be going to college because it is just a waste time and money
You sure about that bud I had to take remedial classes and failed many of them guess what I got my bachelors of science anyway with a university gpa above a 3.0 with multiple deans lists people like you were my fuel thanks for the helping hand😂
@@JJJJ-he8bz Well Good For You Yeah....I had remedial classes and I failed so after one semester I quit college because I did not plan on going to college in the first place I never liked school but everyone around me told me that college is the only way to get ahead in life which is literally not true....And I may not have no degree but I have alot of practical skills that have helped me and they told me that practical skills are worthless another thing that is literally not true at all because my dad’s friend is a Painting Contractor and he makes alot of money and he has no degree
@@New-York-Guy-90. I have dyslexia, ADHD, and I’m on the autism spectrum (diagnosed with Aspergers) I’ve struggled in school my whole life. I did not want to go to college, I was horrified. I took that test and got all remedial classes, I was extremely uncomfortable in college. It was completely different from special ed classed I was always in. I literally only went for two days before leaving. Some people just aren’t meant for higher education 🤷🏻

Is it state mandated. If not. Do you have the option not to take it?
As always.... it's the teacher's fault lol
Administrative fault for garbage lessons about gender neutral studies
I’m in a remedial math class in high school and I hate it
Me too, I have “Liberal arts Mathematics” even though I passed Algebra 1 honors in my Freshman year with an A...I honesty don’t even need it...
You better get that photo math ready,
I got placed a remedial English and math
Rene Sandoval in college they refer it as basic courses trying to say not meeting basic courses make us look stupid
She can’t understand the material because, She is distracted in something that lets her not know what they are teaching her.
Maisy it might be like a mental mindset lots personal dilema are distracting us and we may not control it
