Are C&M courses easier than corresponding standard math courses?
Some students have said that C&M is in fact easier than standard math courses. But the reasons for this view are complex. First, C&M students are spared much (not all) of the tedious pencil and paper calculation found in other courses. This in itself makes C&M courses less laborious than other courses. Second, as all mathematicians know, mathematics is more easily understood when it rests on a conceptual background rather than a memorized background. C&M students have the conceptual background needed to make math easier than it would be otherwise. Back to Top Q: Are C&M courses harder than corresponding standard math courses? A: Some students have said that C&M is in fact harder than standard math courses. Some reassons: First, C&M is more intellectually demanding and richer conceptually than other courses. Second, most C&M students put in more hours than traditional students. Student homework is not optional in C&M courses. Back to Top Q: Do many C&M students ask:”What’s this stuff go
