Bro, that's like middle school science

Any middle school subject can be a high school subject if enough people fail at grasping the basics.

Sometimes it can even be a college course. I remember my first year in uni our TA had to explain how long division and unit conversion worked and I was like how tf y'all got into engineering school without basic middle school mathematics knowledge.

I was prepared for it to be lib arts or humanities, not engineering

It doesn't surprise me for college level students to not know it, but for college students in a math heavy field to not know it. Both in terms of how do they pass an entrance exam for that program, as well as how does someone that is bad in a subject decide that is the career they want?
