It is a horrible system, to say the least.<br />A lot of students aren't able to take the electives that they want to take but take the electives that they can afford. It is probable that some profit making universities won't allow students to audit any course they want since it defeats the purpose of dynamic pricing. As a result, many engineering students graduate with poor mathematical and technical skills while having have taken some 'useless' courses in humanities and management to fulfil their credit requirements.Prashanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18413405813678163163noreply@blogger.com
