"By not adjusting their grading policies, STEM programs ultimately hurt..the economy"

<p>Ha - nice try. Trust me, if you’re only a 2nd year chemical engineering student (which is the scenario at play), and especially if you had failed ChemE140, you will find C178 to be extraordinarily rough sailing. You simply haven’t had the proper preparation in both upper division chemical engineering or chemistry to survive this course. </p>

<p>ChE180 requires consent of the instructor, and consent for that course is actually far from automatic to obtain. Particularly, if you had failed ChemE140. </p>

<p>Either way, these do not seem to be realistic options.</p>
