Joe,
What's the point of having a prerequisite if you don't insist upon it;
excepting, perhaps, rare cases? Perhaps the prerequisite should be removed
if it is regularly ignored, that would certainly be more honest.

Most of the students I have have in
physics never have taken chemistry or physics in high school nor, for that
fact, taken more than two years of math (usually have Alg 1 and Geometry).
We do have a pre requisite of College Algebra to take physics, but if I
insisted on this, I would have no students at all. Around here we have
problems having students take physics in high school much less in a
community college.
I shall think about this some more and I appreciate all the discussion on
this board.
