<p>Now, given that I’m simply a dual-enrolled high school senior, I have never taken a university course. That said, at the community-turned-state college I take classes at, there are a lot of bad professors, but there are a lot of REALLY GREAT professors. Some teach up to eight classes a semester, and are wonderful at what they do. I started taking classes there because I had heard such great things about certain Psychology, History, and Philosophy professors, and there seem to be great professors in every field. Naturally, there are not so great professors, but I haven’t had any (word of mouth + RMP, and I’m 13/13 for good professors).</p>

I’m trying to ignore the irony of your spelling and grammar. If courses were so “remedial”, then I wouldn’t think that there would be so many successful transfers to universities. As for me, the state of Florida mandated that all community college classes be taught on the same level and comprehensiveness of comparable classes at state universities, as a part of the guaranteed 2+2 transfer agreement. Now, there are certainly community college professors more focused on teaching than their university counterparts. A professor at a community college may teach eight classes a semester, honing teaching skills, while his/her counterpart at a university may only stick to the required one class a semester, focusing mainly on research.</p>
<p>Oh, and there are remedial level courses at the college I attend, but they’re not for any credits, and are only taken by those who score poorly in a particular area.</p>
