    Anon thinks speaking and writing in a language is all there is to do in a bachelor’s degree. You literally have to read thousands of pages of literature, and need to be able to analyze those pieces critically.

    Guys, is lying allowed on the Internet? I’m starting to think that Anon never even set foot in a college.

      Reads thousands of pages of sparknotes or the study guides on your class google doc cheat sheet? Or studies the past tests that your frat makes available?

        You can pass using them, sure. But you can’t be anywhere near cum laude. I teach college kids, it’s easy to tell when someone’s mindlessly writing shit.

          Yeah, I was cum laude(3.8) and I didnt read almost anything from my breadth classes. What I did was kinda funny. Lets say I needed to write a paper where i needed to use a certain amount of quotes from a book. What i would actually do is prewrite everything and leave blank spaces for quotes, then I would turn to random pages, scan through to see if something looks like it matches what I am saying and bada bing it into my paper. The funny part is when I get my criticism back and the professor/TAs say it was insightful or some shit.

          I think in my years as a student, i only read the textbooks for my major and thats it. (Thats aside from all the research papers I had to pour over ofcourse) Nowadays with gpt kids in these humanitarian type courses do even lazier shit. I have personally seen people ask GPT to write sentence by sentence for english composition essays so it doesnt get detected.

          I didnt even cheat my major shit though. I know personally of many people in frats who held onto past exams… they didnt even bother trying to read the book, they just tried to memorize the problems/solution key. It was actually quite frustrating as they would be driving up the curve.

            I guess humanities can be different then. I teach STEM students, and here you definitely need to understand what you’re doing.

              Yeah I was originally talking about the post but as I said I was in stem and cheating still happens. It just depends on certain courses and how new the professors are in the system. Lets say I was studying for physical chemistry. I knew for 100% sure that there were students that cheated for everything because we had a tenured professor who had a known cycle of using tests from 4 years back. The (theta tau? I dont remember) frat also coincidentally had a catalogue of the last 10+ years worth of tests for that major. As fate had it, half the class had perfect scores on their exams and homework.

                Wish I had a professor like that when I was undergrad lol. Bastards made up new problems every single time. Can’t even find them online later. Assignment problems were even harder.

                  Yeah maybe I was lucky? I guess I can only use limited experience as an example but I was a fucking nerd so yeah.

      Why couldn’t he do that? Anyone can do that, he has the language proficiency to consume the content
