I've spoken to many chairmen in other universities, both in the Florida State system and outside, and they all say the failure rate in mathematics is high. |
The math courses have a high failure rate, we're very aware of that and we've taken many measures to try and alleviate this situation. In the math department, we spend a lot of time trying to think of ways to teach the students better and help them succeed. |
This is not some emerging problem. This is something chronic. We try and deal with it, but there's no magic bullet. |
