JR Smith is now an undergraduate at NC A&T, is trying out as a walk-on for the golf team and tweets daily about homework and how hard school is. I find really entertaining,

If A&T is too hard, he should have gone to UNC-CH as planned and learned from Julius Nyang'oro.

The guys is 35 years old going back to college after a 17 year break from school. It's got to be an adjustment no matter where he attends.

I can't imagine trying to take a college level math class or chem class right now. I feel like there's almost no way I'd pass.
 
I used to be really good at math at school but yeah, I wonder how far I’d have to go back curriculum-wise to restart and catch up to a college level math course like calculus.

Probably 9th grade geometry. Maybe it would only take me a week or two to review but I think I’d be fucked by trig/precalc by not getting those core concepts nailed down again.
 
And I retired from chemistry in the 10th grade. I’m pretty much only good for periodic table trivia these days.
 
hard to say - i watch my wife prep her classes and I'm pretty sure I could blow apart one class.

If there was a way to simulate it for a 38 yo, I'm pretty sure a full semester's workload plus the attendant collegiate social life would cause my brain to melt.

And he admits he never liked school in the first place. It’s brave to go back to school, be public about it, acknowledge the challenges, oh and do it during a global pandemic. But he’s far from the only person doing it.

Same here. I took Multivariate Calculus in 12th grade but I couldn’t give a good answer when my 4th grader asked what TAN was on his older brother’s calculator.

We were trying to model the effect of north / south / east / west facing slopes on gopher tortoise burrow use in the winter and we had to dig into middle school trigonometry to transform the compass direction data. A burrow facing 355 degrees should have nearly the same effect as a burrow facing 5 degrees, but that circularity really screws up a logistic response model, but transforming the data using SIN or COS maybe could have fixed it. It got too confusing to interpret the regression coefficients though, so I just had my student convert it into a categorical variable. #TalkinTrig
 
Hey, look at this shit !
