Be TA

If the professor gets bad reviews, they could lose their position

t. me and a bunch of classmates wrote huge rants and 1*s about a professor on the anonymous review at the end of the semester who loaded us down with useless homework and papers and made the TA grade it all
>he's no longer a professor at the university

Might not be due to all of our bad reviews but I can't see it being a positive mark on his record. Fuck him for getting $90,000 a year just to read lectures from a book and make some poor grad student grade all our useless shit

That's why every professor nowadays offers bonus points and extended due dates galore. The higher the grades = the better the reviews.

>everybody needs college for a job
>everybody goes to college
>anybody who flunks out can't get a job and is ruined by debt
>schools make it harder for brainlets to flunk out
>students realize this and get lazy

Higher education was better in the past because it didn't have to be accessible to everyone. If college wasn't a required stage of the middle to upper class life cycle, this shit wouldn't fly.

This.

Only brainlets never cheat.

explain your reasoning

if they fail they can retake. If they get a C then they have to live with that

I never cheated and I'm doing great. Cheating early on means you don't learn as well, and later on you're fucked.

That's a big part of it
People see college as a requirement and a bureaucratic check-box rather than an opportunity to explore and study what they want and find interesting.
People only go to college to try to improve their lot in life rather than to do what a college is actually good for: learn and discover themselves and an aspect of the world.
They put in the minimum effort to get the degree so they can get the paycheck when it's over, rather than learning how to learn and how to be curious.
IMO, the solution is to stop focussing on higher education (and even high school education) as a means-to-an-end, or as a gateway to a better life.
Education should never be about proving you're qualified, it should be about letting yourself be curious and promoting that in your peers.
Jobs shouldn't be awarded based on what pieces of paper you have on your wall or letters after your name, but based on relevant experience and hobbies and interest that will drive you to being successful.
Knowledge that you've picked up by being curious and by doing cool things because you think they're fun
College should be about providing opportunities to be curious and to do cool things that are fun so that people can find something that they love.
Even if what they love isn't intrinsically useful, if they learn how to learn through curiosity and experience they can pick up skills at whatever jobs they want take after.
Unfortunately, the current structure of the job market, political infrastructure, and educational system prevent this.

Only brainlets need to cheat.
Modern grade inflation means that college courses are easy as fuck if you put in a tiny modicum of effort.
