@@prodbytukoo I feel like people always over exaggerate this. Maybe I just had good professors, but the calculus sequence was not that hard for me.

Not calculus but classical Physics (Newton) which is applied calculus. Got 100% on all tests (was the only one out of all 60 people in the class to get 100% on the last one), got 40% on the exam; top exam score was 67%. Didn't fail the course but it taught me a valuable lesson: there's a real chance you're more mature than your professor and that doesn't imply you're even mature for your age, it just means academia attracts a lot of people who shouldn't be in teaching positions.
That is so true. Some might be brilliant on their subject but terrible teachers or incapable of accepting the fact that student are taking more than one class at a time.
my calc 1 teacher came in for the first exam and said all proud "no student has ever got 100% in my exams", as if that's something to be proud of! if more than 75% of the class is failing, the problem is the teacher not the students, academia attracts those with a massive ego
My brother got messed up from uni similar to stuff like that. The math professor required the final exam to determine if you pass or fail the course which means even if you did well on the midterm and assignments but didn't do well on the final meant you would fail rather than the final exam score be added on top of your previous assignments. My brother complained to the dean and agreed that changes need to be made but refused to accomodate him. Which means they know its nonesense but dont want to help. That was his last course by the way that stopped him from graduation.
@@AsaWRLD47 He graduated but at the cost of retaking this course and paying for that course. Luckily he found a different teacher for the same course so it was smooth sail from there. Shows you people suck, not math.

Imagine just learning subjects at your own speed, testing yourself and not pay tuition fee. It's like school was invented before the internet and neurology. 🤔
Not Calculus, but yesterday I had a test where I had to handwrite nearly 3 A4 pages of C code, take photos, and submit it as a PDF in under 30 mins. The hardest part wasn't even knowing what to write, it was getting my hands to write it so quickly while still keeping it legible.
What's even the point of testing like that? It's so far removed from any conceivable real environment. Coders will always have resources right next to them as well as the ability to test their code in real time. Plus writing code by hand, it seems like a pointless academic exercise.
@@riordanbrown9557 It really discouraged me from pursuing more coding if it was going to be like that. I took years off of it when I should have been practising. I had concluded that type of testing was just a filter to keep most students out.
Passing Calculus 2 in university with a B on my first try made me so proud of myself I almost literally cried. It had a LOT of content and costed a lot of my time to study.
I didn't even look at my exam grade until after the semester was over. I just new I passed overall and that was all I cared about 😂 I had made a 12% on the final 💀💀💀
Had a chemistry class like that. Basically, the teacher is beyond incompetent and told us to study and focus on the wrong things, has material on the test from other chapters and outside sources, and zero elaboration on how to solve for some things. It’s hat profs do so they don’t fail an entire class and have next semesters class booked cause it’s a requirement to continue.
In the past 2 years I've taken - Pre cal Cal 1 Cal 2 Cal 3 and am now in Diff Eq. My experience has taught me ONE thing - ... when the professor's notes and explanation look easy - go find it online somewhere and plan for 3 hours of practice... it's gonna be a rough exam. :)
Yeah “learning” math is easy. I could memorize all the formulas in a couple of days. Actually knowing what the hell to do with it is what takes effort.
- the final exam worth almost half the final grade - the surprise exam questions that are harder than pretty much everything you’ve gone over in homework or class - the multi-section exam times that leave you reeling - ‘I took the test and it took me X minutes so 110% of X minutes should be enough’ - I’ll just skip this one for now. I’ll just skip this one too, I guess. And uh, that one as well. Oh boy. - ‘find the volume of this amorphous, lovecraftian blob before it drives you mad from the depth of all the knowledge you can never hope to even begin to comprehend - the concerningly low class average - taking an eternity to grade things. You’ll probably be halfway through your next set of classes before you know if you passed or not This is the realest video I have ever seen in my life
I’ll just skip this one…god reminds me in my engineering calc class they had a problem that all 5 professors, 3 of which had been doing this for over 20 yrs were called in and no one could solve. Of course, it ended up on our tests and no one knew how to solve it.
Ah yes, the class where the average test grade is 40%. Additionally, even though there are only 7 questions on the final, you need 3 hours to complete the 22 page test (actual test I had).
As a person who studies mathematics, this is kinda accurate. One of the exams last semester had a close to 50% failrate. Just because the professor thought it would be a good idea to renew the entire course (real analysis), adding stuff like topology and proofs rigorous to the point of pain. It went from being the easiest course in the bachelor to one of the absolute hardest.
As someone who is undergrad chemistry, I have a pre-calc math mod. Based on the past year mid-term papers, it was originally only about functions, trigo, limits. Now, it's about proving limits (some epsilon and delta) and proving differentiation identity from the definition of differential. Why do we need to learn this. Why would a chemistry major ever need to prove product rule from the definition?
If your Real Analysis class was "the easiest course in the bachelor" then there was something extremely wrong in the first place and your professor was correct for revamping it.
Sorry, in what world would any professor add topology to a real analysis course??? That's obscene! I would expect professors would be stopped from doing anything of the sort.
My first take on analysis used a fair amount about metric spaces. It was no thorough introduction to topology, but my book used a great deal of basic facts about open & closed sets, limit points, connectedness and compactness, etc. and I don't see how a good analysis course can just bypass those. So many fundamental facts about real analysis rely on purely topological facts about R and imo pushing those all under the rug would offer quite a narrow understanding of the subject.
Calc 3 was going so well until the first midterm where we got questions never seen before in any example. class average was like 20% lol. i barely did 1 out of 6 questions and the prof curved it and somehow I got 50% lmao. he mustve curved it like 500% or smth
Hardest class I ever took was health psychology. Imagine an entire class based around the ever so slightly changing opinions of a professor with an ego problem who loved writing questions that were written to purposely trick you into thinking they're asking one thing when they're actually asking about something else and giving a total of only 4 two hour tests for the entire semester that only have 3 or 4 essay questions that accounted for >60% of your grade . Oh also, he starts the first day by telling us all he doesn't like to give anyone A's unless he absolutely has to.
Honestly reminds me of teaching myself courses for 2 years of online classes where all my profs would do is tell us what to read in the textbook then get paid 100k for uploading tests and hw
It’s like “I by are we paying you for 15 minutes of work and 2hr of lecture that’s irrelevant or so lacking in meaningful info to the tests that we may aswell do everything on our own?”. I get it, college is about learning on your own, but then why am I paying for this waste of space prof?
As a math Major who has taken courses like real analysis, abstract algebra, topology and diffgeo, I unironically still found first year calculus harder than all of those.
Real analysis harder than calc? I’m the opposite rn. Calc 3 was probably the hardest, but it was doable. These proofs got my head spinning and idk where to even begin most of them.
@@Bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Fuck CALC 3 . stupid bs of a class . i dont understand why its such proof based. We should just learn the material of calc 3 and then prove it in a PROOF CLASSS. they make this class hard for nothing. im seriously thinking of dropping calc 3 now. calc 1 and 2 was so easy.
Bro I got an A+ in Final project, B in final exam, averages at B in assignment but got BC in my total grade because my midterm was C . Get me the fuck out of engineering
I do applied maths at one of the best universities in my country, our first midterm exam had an average of 2.7/10, all of the students who did this test belonged to applied maths, pure maths and also the teaching course, so people can imagine what kind of sick bloodbath was that test
This applies to university in general. They're fucking scams, all of them. Got a story of my girlfriend who was in her 6th year med school last year. She was doing internships the entire year and had only one module for which she needed to attend one day of classes per week. This module was basically lessons on how to practice science-based medicine. So for the final exam this meant studying guidelines and review case studies that were seen in class. This was the advice of the teacher who had been teaching this same module for literally 20 years. The exam was made by a different institution however, and they were still using old and (slightly) outdated guidelines. This of course meant that the 'correct' answers to the questions are going to be different than what you've been taught in class... She did pretty poorly of course, as did a lot of others. Then they were told that a grade correction had been made to ensure 60% grade average (50% is the passing grade). As a result, everyone's grades were lowered a little bit. My girlfriend's score in the end was 48% or something... Then there was this guy who was never in class and didn't study very much who got like 80%, top score of the class. He admitted to everyone including the teacher that he guessed a lot of the answers (it was a multiple choice exam), but the teacher didn't really seem to care. So in conclusion, an incompetent teacher didn't adequately prepare his students for an exam that was made by an external organisation that followed outdated treatment guidelines. The results turned out to be higher than expected because lucky buffoons guessed the right answers, which made the university downgrade everyone to ensure a 60% average and eventually fuck over diligent students like my girlfriend with a barely sub-50% grade. And nothing was ever done about it, even after complaints were made.
I am pretty sure that the guy that got the 80% just wanted to sway the attention away from him and actually studied. It was not a coincidence, there are a lot of people that do not want others to be jealous so they lie as to how they got there.
"lucky buffoons guessed the right answers," that speaks volumes as to why that poor dude didn't want to say the truth. People have to stop comparing themselves to others and just work on themselves. I am pretty sure they did not want to say either but their guesses were probably educated guesses. It is not probable for someone to get 80% by guessing stuff. Ultra unlikely. Poor dude wanted to make everyone feel better.
Seeing the comments here makes me feel good about myself. I started in the lowest math class you could take at my university and now I'm in my 8th math class, Diff Eq, which is the final math class required for my Mechanical Engineering degree.
Calc 1 literally gave me depression my freshman year. I ended up getting a b- but it stressed me out so badly that I did average to poorly in my other classes and I ended up losing the scholarship that I had 😢
I’ll never get instructors, courses, and universities that structure teaching to have a large chunk of their students fail by design by artificially inflating the difficulty of everything. We as students are here to understand and learn the material for the future, we are not paying money for you to boast that you hate us.
- Many professors may have faced the same thing or faced bullying and deliberately continue the cycle. - The university's reputation relies on many students failing, because companies think that means superior graduates, when it really just means terrible professors in many cases. - Unions want less workers in the field to keep wages high for their members, so they may sponsor universities.
There are also instructors that you can tell are researchers first and teachers 2nd however. Some of them really struggle to teach a concept and then are very unforgiving for exams. I've had at least 3 classes where one "loud" student decided to speak up to the department and they say "Yeah sorry unless you get a signed sheet where every single person on this class agrees the class is unfair we can't do anything". Even with my own advisors I've had them tell me "We know it may be unfair but that's the way the school's system is." I don't doubt some teachers are trying their best but assuming it's the norm is unfair to everyone else's experience. Just because you're trying to be an exception to the rule doesn't mean that the system you're on (that you actively are trying to work against not by policy but by your own effort and values) isn't broken.
"Can you believe that Calculus is a prerequisite to Physics? Basically, its like trig, but add more dimensions and applications to it. Cool. Now take both at the same time. Good luck!" - my poor brain

I member my statistics class where I thought I was fucked because I got 37/100 in my final exam... then I learned that was on the higher end of what other people got
I only took calculus I in uni because I'm doing computer engineering, god that shit was awful. My final exam wasn't even half answered. We just didn't have the skills needed to pass because there's no time to cram so many half baked concepts and make them magically click. Just maybe there needs to be a class something to relearn the basic in a deeper way.
My grades on Calculus I were: 28/33, 8/33 and 26/34. If only I had checked the picture I took from the board before the teacher erased his writings... If only I had read them, finding out the derivatives of arcs... I passed with 62%, should have been 81% (28+27+26).
I took calculus in highschool so I literally got 101% in the class in college. There were four tests with 100 points and 10 points extra credit. I aced all of them with extra credit except the last one where I didn't know one question.
I think for me the hardest part in learning calculus is trying to understand what your professor is saying. My professor has a heavy Indian accent so it makes comprehending anything in the class 25x harder
I had a quiz today to practice for the midterms next week. It took all period but he graded them and then if you made an A on the quiz, he counted that as the midterm 1 grade. Let’s go!! I’m in calc 2 rn and Im stoked abt not taking a midterm.
Hey bro good luck, Calc 2 is honestly the hardest, Calc 3 will be a breeze for you, especially if you still have all the functions and rules memorized.
Hi, please make a video showing what the double slit experiment would evolve like using schrodinger, a wave equation and a heat equation. It is interesting to contrast the three.
takes me back to Calc II when my prof walked in on the first day and said he was going to nickel and dime us on everything...he took of 2pts on one of my quizzes for not adding "+C" to my side work even tho the final answer was a definite integral 😭😭 (I got a D+ in that class bc the final was written by other calc II profs and it saved me)
those profs are the fkn worst. i had a teacher in high school who hated me for no reason but i would get every answer right on every test but i would still somehow only get an 80% because she would take off so many marks for some BS
It gets worse. 13 weekly assignments of proofs and so on, very difficult 5-6 questions each. They take up 15% but only if you answer a certain question in the test right. Otherwise the test is 100%. And the median in test is like 57.
I could hardly understand my calculus teacher so I had to learn calculus straight out of the book and whatever resources he provided. Many long nights, much frustration.
This is like 80 percent accurate… I am a PhD scholar and teach Calculus as a part of my TA duties… one thing I agree is that too much stuff is dumped in a very short period compared what is given in exams…
Similar question... The mass of a neutral Aluminium coin is .075g. Find the positive charge of the coin. **It has a solution and it is not zero (since it's not 'net' positive charge)**
As an expert in math, ive actually tried finding the derivative of this monstrosity 1:29 , it actually takes hours to calculate and the derivative becomes so complex that there isnt even enough space to write the whole function on one normal piece of paper. Even breaking down this function to smaller functions still is complex and takes so long to calculate
I hate maths and I quit math major and I am truly happy that I got rid of maths and I will never see it again for my entire life (How I found myself in math department is a long story so fuck it) No math student (ok, maybe 1 in 1 billion) will be like Fermat, Euler, Gauss etc and will be in math's history books so the torture of mathematics is the most unnecessary thing in the world and tell me do you use math in your daily life other than counting and basic school math? Nope ofcourse.
felt this with calc 2. Calc 2 is the hardest math class I've ever had to take. The only reason i was able to pass is because it was online and i fuckin cheated all the exams and I have no regrets. Rn im in elementary differential equations which is hopefully the last math class I have to take for my civil engineering associates degree. FUCK MATH
My first calc class, the final was 3 hours, no notes, no calculator. Professor basically skimmed over trig in the course and literally every single question except for like 1 or 2 were complex equations with trig.
Reminds me of the real analysis problem I was actually assigned "Carefully prove the Mean Value Theorem starting from nothing but basic facts about real numbers". I had to rigorously define and prove every necessary fact about limits, convergence, continuity, and differentiation, and it took nearly an hour. Ridiculous question but kinda instructive lol
Guys it’s just parody. I’m saying this as someone who’s taking calculus 2 this semester. If you’re having trouble with calculus, watch The Organic Chemistry Tutor’s lectures.
For calc 1 you’ll almost dont need geometry, with calc 2 you’ll need it to 1 integration method and later to find volume and area but is not that hard, i’ll say is most important to have good trigo abilities
How so? The anthropocentrism in math comes much more to the surface in (complex) calculus/analysis due to the geometric motivation/inspiration of most ideas explored (epsilon-delta definition of limits, integrals, derivatives are all easily captured through memorable drawings). Given that (most) humans inherently memorize and reason more visually than linguistically, and given that most abstract algebra topics are not much more than almost mechanical theorem proving of much less easily visualised structures, I would say that (complex) calculus/analysis is much easier to grasp. What are your thoughts on this?

I hate chemistry so much😔
my calc 1 teacher came in for the first exam and said all proud "no student has ever got 100% in my exams", as if that's something to be proud of!
if more than 75% of the class is failing, the problem is the teacher not the students, academia attracts those with a massive ego

My brother got messed up from uni similar to stuff like that. The math professor required the final exam to determine if you pass or fail the course which means even if you did well on the midterm and assignments but didn't do well on the final meant you would fail rather than the final exam score be added on top of your previous assignments.
My brother complained to the dean and agreed that changes need to be made but refused to accomodate him. Which means they know its nonesense but dont want to help.
That was his last course by the way that stopped him from graduation.
Dang, what happened then?
@@AsaWRLD47 He graduated but at the cost of retaking this course and paying for that course. Luckily he found a different teacher for the same course so it was smooth sail from there. Shows you people suck, not math.
@@AsaWRLD47 what happened? that he realised that university has become a business to get as much cash out of you as possible lol. Its no longer what it used to be in the past.

Just gotta compare the curriculum for any degree from like 50 years ago and the current day curriculum... sure has lost a lot of weight huh? no challenge for 3 years to encourage more and more students to tag allong for the ride, which means more income for the university... and then, fuck final year students in the ass with bullshit like this just to either send them on their way having wasted their money or force them to retake the courses over and over again until they've been milked enough and finally earn the degree lol...

Not Calculus, but yesterday I had a test where I had to handwrite nearly 3 A4 pages of C code, take photos, and submit it as a PDF in under 30 mins. The hardest part wasn't even knowing what to write, it was getting my hands to write it so quickly while still keeping it legible.
We did that with Java, fucking Java the most verbose language ever. C sounds like a dream by comparison.
💀
What's even the point of testing like that? It's so far removed from any conceivable real environment. Coders will always have resources right next to them as well as the ability to test their code in real time. Plus writing code by hand, it seems like a pointless academic exercise.
@@riordanbrown9557 It really discouraged me from pursuing more coding if it was going to be like that. I took years off of it when I should have been practising. I had concluded that type of testing was just a filter to keep most students out.
@@Sanchuniathon384 We had to do this with c++ classes which is even more verbose then Java
Passing Calculus 2 in university with a B on my first try made me so proud of myself I almost literally cried. It had a LOT of content and costed a lot of my time to study.
When I was taking calc I was so afraid to see my exam grade that it would take me a week to build up the courage to look.
I didn't even look at my exam grade until after the semester was over. I just new I passed overall and that was all I cared about 😂
I had made a 12% on the final 💀💀💀
@@ezekielanderson9055 How did they pass a person with such low of a final? Something is off wth....
Had a chemistry class like that. Basically, the teacher is beyond incompetent and told us to study and focus on the wrong things, has material on the test from other chapters and outside sources, and zero elaboration on how to solve for some things. It’s hat profs do so they don’t fail an entire class and have next semesters class booked cause it’s a requirement to continue.
In the past 2 years I've taken -
Pre cal
Cal 1
Cal 2
Cal 3
and am now in Diff Eq.
My experience has taught me ONE thing -
... when the professor's notes and explanation look easy - go find it online somewhere and plan for 3 hours of practice... it's gonna be a rough exam. :)
Absolutely! In Calc 3 right now and for something that took the professor 10 minutes can take 3-6 hours of practice.
Yeah “learning” math is easy. I could memorize all the formulas in a couple of days. Actually knowing what the hell to do with it is what takes effort.
- the final exam worth almost half the final grade
- the surprise exam questions that are harder than pretty much everything you’ve gone over in homework or class
- the multi-section exam times that leave you reeling
- ‘I took the test and it took me X minutes so 110% of X minutes should be enough’
- I’ll just skip this one for now. I’ll just skip this one too, I guess. And uh, that one as well. Oh boy.
- ‘find the volume of this amorphous, lovecraftian blob before it drives you mad from the depth of all the knowledge you can never hope to even begin to comprehend
- the concerningly low class average
- taking an eternity to grade things. You’ll probably be halfway through your next set of classes before you know if you passed or not
This is the realest video I have ever seen in my life
I’ll just skip this one…god reminds me in my engineering calc class they had a problem that all 5 professors, 3 of which had been doing this for over 20 yrs were called in and no one could solve. Of course, it ended up on our tests and no one knew how to solve it.
i havent had a class with less than a 50% final in 3 years bro
Ah yes, the class where the average test grade is 40%. Additionally, even though there are only 7 questions on the final, you need 3 hours to complete the 22 page test (actual test I had).
This is not a parody. This is real life.
As a person who studies mathematics, this is kinda accurate. One of the exams last semester had a close to 50% failrate. Just because the professor thought it would be a good idea to renew the entire course (real analysis), adding stuff like topology and proofs rigorous to the point of pain. It went from being the easiest course in the bachelor to one of the absolute hardest.
As someone who is undergrad chemistry, I have a pre-calc math mod. Based on the past year mid-term papers, it was originally only about functions, trigo, limits.
Now, it's about proving limits (some epsilon and delta) and proving differentiation identity from the definition of differential.
Why do we need to learn this. Why would a chemistry major ever need to prove product rule from the definition?
If your Real Analysis class was "the easiest course in the bachelor" then there was something extremely wrong in the first place and your professor was correct for revamping it.
Sorry, in what world would any professor add topology to a real analysis course??? That's obscene! I would expect professors would be stopped from doing anything of the sort.
My first take on analysis used a fair amount about metric spaces. It was no thorough introduction to topology, but my book used a great deal of basic facts about open & closed sets, limit points, connectedness and compactness, etc. and I don't see how a good analysis course can just bypass those. So many fundamental facts about real analysis rely on purely topological facts about R and imo pushing those all under the rug would offer quite a narrow understanding of the subject.
Those are rookie numbers mine has a 6%passrate
Just wait till billy gets to real analysis. That’s where the fun begins 💀

Oh also, he starts the first day by telling us all he doesn't like to give anyone A's unless he absolutely has to.
you only had 1 professor like that, my entire university doesn’t give As unless they absolutely have to 💀
Honestly reminds me of teaching myself courses for 2 years of online classes where all my profs would do is tell us what to read in the textbook then get paid 100k for uploading tests and hw

It’s like “I by are we paying you for 15 minutes of work and 2hr of lecture that’s irrelevant or so lacking in meaningful info to the tests that we may aswell do everything on our own?”. I get it, college is about learning on your own, but then why am I paying for this waste of space prof?
As a math Major who has taken courses like real analysis, abstract algebra, topology and diffgeo, I unironically still found first year calculus harder than all of those.
NGL linear algebra was way harder for me than any other math class I've taken so far.
Real analysis harder than calc? I’m the opposite rn. Calc 3 was probably the hardest, but it was doable. These proofs got my head spinning and idk where to even begin most of them.

Currently in my first semester of engineering classes and I realized after a week that it’s not for me.
I do applied maths at one of the best universities in my country, our first midterm exam had an average of 2.7/10, all of the students who did this test belonged to applied maths, pure maths and also the teaching course, so people can imagine what kind of sick bloodbath was that test
The most accurate part is that it took the professor 3 months to grade the midterms
“Every time you retake the class the tuition price doubles”
This applies to university in general. They're fucking scams, all of them.
Got a story of my girlfriend who was in her 6th year med school last year. She was doing internships the entire year and had only one module for which she needed to attend one day of classes per week. This module was basically lessons on how to practice science-based medicine. So for the final exam this meant studying guidelines and review case studies that were seen in class. This was the advice of the teacher who had been teaching this same module for literally 20 years. The exam was made by a different institution however, and they were still using old and (slightly) outdated guidelines. This of course meant that the 'correct' answers to the questions are going to be different than what you've been taught in class...
She did pretty poorly of course, as did a lot of others. Then they were told that a grade correction had been made to ensure 60% grade average (50% is the passing grade). As a result, everyone's grades were lowered a little bit. My girlfriend's score in the end was 48% or something...
Then there was this guy who was never in class and didn't study very much who got like 80%, top score of the class. He admitted to everyone including the teacher that he guessed a lot of the answers (it was a multiple choice exam), but the teacher didn't really seem to care.
So in conclusion, an incompetent teacher didn't adequately prepare his students for an exam that was made by an external organisation that followed outdated treatment guidelines. The results turned out to be higher than expected because lucky buffoons guessed the right answers, which made the university downgrade everyone to ensure a 60% average and eventually fuck over diligent students like my girlfriend with a barely sub-50% grade. And nothing was ever done about it, even after complaints were made.
I am pretty sure that the guy that got the 80% just wanted to sway the attention away from him and actually studied. It was not a coincidence, there are a lot of people that do not want others to be jealous so they lie as to how they got there.
"lucky buffoons guessed the right answers," that speaks volumes as to why that poor dude didn't want to say the truth. People have to stop comparing themselves to others and just work on themselves. I am pretty sure they did not want to say either but their guesses were probably educated guesses. It is not probable for someone to get 80% by guessing stuff. Ultra unlikely. Poor dude wanted to make everyone feel better.
Not a chance I'm reading all that 😊
Calculus at uni be like : _prove that you exist._

@@zinzhao8231nonsense, calculus 2 is way harder for the amount of concepts and integration techniques you have to learn

I’ll never get instructors, courses, and universities that structure teaching to have a large chunk of their students fail by design by artificially inflating the difficulty of everything. We as students are here to understand and learn the material for the future, we are not paying money for you to boast that you hate us.
- Many professors may have faced the same thing or faced bullying and deliberately continue the cycle.
- The university's reputation relies on many students failing, because companies think that means superior graduates, when it really just means terrible professors in many cases.
- Unions want less workers in the field to keep wages high for their members, so they may sponsor universities.
There are also instructors that you can tell are researchers first and teachers 2nd however. Some of them really struggle to teach a concept and then are very unforgiving for exams.
I've had at least 3 classes where one "loud" student decided to speak up to the department and they say "Yeah sorry unless you get a signed sheet where every single person on this class agrees the class is unfair we can't do anything".
Even with my own advisors I've had them tell me "We know it may be unfair but that's the way the school's system is." I don't doubt some teachers are trying their best but assuming it's the norm is unfair to everyone else's experience. Just because you're trying to be an exception to the rule doesn't mean that the system you're on (that you actively are trying to work against not by policy but by your own effort and values) isn't broken.

We just didn't have the skills needed to pass because there's no time to cram so many half baked concepts and make them magically click. Just maybe there needs to be a class something to relearn the basic in a deeper way.

I think for me the hardest part in learning calculus is trying to understand what your professor is saying. My professor has a heavy Indian accent so it makes comprehending anything in the class 25x harder

Calculus/real analysis is quite straightforward and intuitive though, it’s the abstract algebra that repeatedly seems unfathomable at times.
I think it's the opposite modern algebra is straight forward and complex analysis is awful.
How so? The anthropocentrism in math comes much more to the surface in (complex) calculus/analysis due to the geometric motivation/inspiration of most ideas explored (epsilon-delta definition of limits, integrals, derivatives are all easily captured through memorable drawings). Given that (most) humans inherently memorize and reason more visually than linguistically, and given that most abstract algebra topics are not much more than almost mechanical theorem proving of much less easily visualised structures, I would say that (complex) calculus/analysis is much easier to grasp.
What are your thoughts on this?
I was a math major and I used to talk about these exact exams to all my friends and family and no one understood my pain lol. 😆😆
