Having spent 30 months teaching an intro to weather lab course that "required" knowledge of basic algebra in my grad school days, NOTHING surprises me anymore when it comes to students who lack a clue. And this was back in the days when one line scientific calculators cost over $50 and the graphic plotting ones were first coming out if you could spare $200+ for one.
I'm sure you've read my rant before about the students who didn't know their own names for a pop quiz. Bunnyhugger has even seen the quizzes in question if I recall. I think I scanned them once. Three quizzes that came in with the same name, but different handwriting. No, seriously.
