Having abandoned standardized testing requirements, UC now relies heavily on high school grades and essays. But grades have been inflated for years, and artificial intelligence has made essays a poor measure of unaided writing and reasoning.
The consequences are visible in college classrooms. UC San Diego reported that entering students with math skills below high school level increased nearly thirtyfold in five years and roughly 1 in 12 had preparation below middle school benchmarks. At UC Berkeley, 20 to 30 percent of first-semester calculus students have displayed severe preparation deficits for three consecutive years.
Students who struggle with fractions are being asked, in the same semester, to learn far more complex concepts like limits, derivatives and Riemann integrals. Mathematics is like building a tower: Each level depends on the soundness of the one below. A student who has not mastered basic algebra is missing the load-bearing structure on which calculus depends.
Placing unprepared students into the same classroom as prepared ones puts brakes on the entire class. Our UC Berkeley calculus classes now have to pause to explain basic properties of addition and multiplication — for example, that (a+b) c = ac + bc. According to California’s Common Core standards, this material is taught in third grade.
Recently, more than 2,100 UC STEM faculty signed an open letter — which I co-authored — calling for the restoration of standardized testing in UC admissions. A parallel letter from non-STEM faculty followed, and has already attracted more than 800 signatures.
UC也是上大分了
看隔壁论坛一堆sat 1550+的abc一个top30都没有，一边ucb补小学数学
什么是隔壁
文学城 huaren
Ucb本来就一群靠dei和加州居民身份进去的废物，因为pre微积分学不明白gender studies没法毕业的我都见过，煞笔学校
人家就是靠州内拨款的 那按照选民的意愿发展先进的左思想有什么问题？
爱因斯坦有奶便是娘 现在看来牛顿也是反革命的落后分子了
认可！公立学校本科教育本来就应该是普惠教育，老中由于被pua了12年好不容易考了个大学，再看看美国傻子能轻而易举读UCB本科破防了而已
现在看来版本答案应该是娶拉美妹妹然后套拉美姓氏 
那麻烦左转csu 
加减乘除都不熟练去ucb那确实是耽误别人
环论？是挺难的，不懂不是很正常
基础大课是这样的 不过本身教育就是各取所需 毕业要求又不是做题做的快又好
这covid过去都三年了还这么菜实在是不正常
我还碰到过不知道1%是0.01的，都怀疑这人本科以前上过学么
是的，还不少
你怎么知道不是向量空间的加法和乘法
加州公立高中数学这么水吗 不是说不看标化之后GPA和选课rigorous程度很重要吗，怎么还招进来这么多菜的学生。
就算恢复SAT要求，SAT math简单成那样也没啥筛选作用吧，这个难度的数学都搞不定的学生很难想象怎么进的Berkeley 
23年之后的美本招生就不能考虑种族因素了。其实UC前两所对于加州居民也没那么好进，不看SAT的话GPA的权重会非常高，高中一旦多几个B加州前两所基本就没戏了，真的很好奇UC系怎么招进去这么多混子的
加州大学20年前就不能明面上按照种族招生了（prop 209）
在哈佛案中还写了一堆禁止AA后的问题来支持哈佛
坐标加州 k12数学烂意料之中 按照大部分本地生的能力如果没一对一辅导的话 他们自己是学不明白的
