The college professors I know would laugh bitterly at the suggestion that underprepared college freshmen was a relatively new phenomenon.

I remember myself in my freshman Calculus 1 class. Wow... I was not prepared.

In our CS program they had us start from Analysis 1 and Linear Algebra 1 (proof based course). I sure as hell wasn't prepared.

Of course it's not new. It does seem to be getting worse.
