Really glad I did calculus at DMACC in high school.
So I take it the math professors at ISU still suck as much as they did over 20 years ago when I had a rough go around with it. Granted the math curriculum at my HS also sucked at the time and did not prepare us well for college and on top of the the good math teacher retired after my sophomore year and the guy that replaced her was terrible. I had to re-take Math 150 after 1 exam basically killed my grade my first semester and 165 (I think it was that or whatever business calc was at the time) kicked my butt so bad I dropped it before I could fail that class and took it over the summer at DMACC and a HS math teacher that taught it made it much easier to learn than the guy with the PhD at ISU ever made it for me.
If I could go back in time I'd take all my math and stat classes at DMACC and probably Econ and Accounting too as I took 1 of each of the later 2 there and wished I had taken the 2nd one there too. It sucks because its the luck of the draw who you get for a professor/instructor for classes like this at ISU. Some are OK and some are just horrible at teaching the subject.
CompSci was another one of those back when I was at ISU (98-02) as Mr. and Mrs. Tomlinson were absolutely horrible instructors. Had Mr. T twice and Mrs once and one of the semesters on Mr T the class AVERAGE on 1 exam was like 45% and he does not grade on a curve either. He ripped us all about not preparing for the exam and several fired back that there were questions that we had not even covered yet in class on it and also it says something about the poor exam he put together if maybe a handful on the class even passed it. That was a fun day going through the exam question by question while some of the students I would assume were the top in the class at the time just picked him apart on either it was a flawed question or something we had not even covered. Funny thing is the next few weeks all the sudden he started to had out "extra credit" assignments or quizzes which we could only assume was his way to still not grade on a curve but raise our grades from his bad exam.
