How can that really be called learning? Similar thing when I was in college, we had a required accounting course. Between us and the afternoon class taking the same thing there were 5 out of 60 of us who were passing, and 3 of those people were passing because they took accounting in high school. I went to the department head and explained the situation, and she suggested I should get a tutor. When I told her that wasn't acceptable; that the prof should be able to teach, she said that some of the courses were "weeder" courses to weed people out.
