How to handle class of unprepared students

<p>And I’m thinking of cartoon physics. The Roadrunner does not really hang in mid air until her looks down!
A college level class should be able to expect basic 9th grade algebra. If they can’t do the algebra FLUNK THEM. They shouldn’t even be in college. I think the person who said a room full of slackers thinks you can’t flunk them all is on to something.<br>
I would make the class very hands-on lab intensive. What happens when we do this? A cross between myth busters and kindergarten.</p>
