Do you honestly think there's education when a uni teaches cattle class of 200 people for calculus 101, and intends to flunk 80% of them?

This could easily be a set of videos recorded from a real lecture. Problems could be assigned from problem sets (plug n chug from schematics). What someone would pay for is 1 on 1 time from a professional.

And there's NO reason to fail someone, as in retake and pay a pound of flesh again. If you don't get it, go to a different degree that doesn't require it.
