It's a shame that there aren't more half-courses. Running both a course on filters and "a tiny course on the stuff about filters you need to you for other courses" (that could maybe be as little as a few optional classes + a test) shouldn't be beyond our organizational skills.
Maybe what I want is more tests as pre-requisites rather than only full fledged courses (my alma mater had an English test that could be taken in lieu of one mandatory course)
Tests as pre-reqs are pretty useless IMHO. I 'tested into' the second level of calculus before I had taken pre-calc, but I would not have been able to pass the class, not a chance.

That only proves that the test was poor, not the theory.
