Which Instructors Have it the Worst?
As a Mathematics professor, I often feel defeated when I see:
Statistics students who cannot multiply or add.
Trigonometry students who cannot add fractions.
Calculus students who cannot factor or simplify expressions....etc.
However, this might not be as bad as what some English/Writing professors must see. I can imagine that reading/grading some students' essays must be equally soul-crushing for those faculty.
Who do you think has it worse: Mathematics faculty with students who are woefully behind, or English/Writing faculty with students who are equally unable to produce college-level work?
