I've been a CFI since 1980 and the worst grade I got at Riddle was a C+ in Calculus for Aviators. I had two years of algebra based physics and did well in HS math, but calculus never made a bit of sense to me. I'm sure I couldn't teach someone differentials, either, but I could teach them how to fly. I guess it depends on your perspective, but I find flying much easier than calculus.
WHAT!!!!!
A "C+" in Calc.
I got a "B".
L3, don't worry about your ability to teach. Take the course and see what comes of it. I taught 6th, 7th & 8th grade Mathematics and Science. I thoroughly enjoyed making an impact in those kids lives.
