The final exam for MAT224 - Linear Algebra II at UTM had a strikingly low average grade of 29%, raising questions about U of T's approach to teaching and assessing math courses. This result led to a significant online discussion, particularly on Reddit, where students criticized the teaching methods and exam structure. The course's instructor, Professor Michael Pawliuk, attributed the unexpected results to factors like the pandemic's impact on students' foundational knowledge and lack of social support systems. He emphasized the importance of utilizing available class resources and is considering future changes to the course structure.
