[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't students study and get evaluated "properly"? Why is it called "grind"? It is called learning and evaluating.

Not everyone deserves a trophy. Studying or get out of the school to do something more meaningful to your life.[/quote]
Maybe grades shouldn’t be where we place our trophies in the first place?[/quote]

So what? Money? Yes there are still some umc to squeeze the last drop of money until every dies. Raise tuition to get more A.[/quote]
We’re talking about college. Grades had nothing to do with any of my departmental awards back then. Grades were just the evaluations the college forced faculty to provide to students. Our awards came from excellent research, student involvement, or exceptional papers, not how well we crammed Statistical Mechanics the night before our exam.[/quote]

Ok. So participation awards? AI fabricated papers?[/quote]
You don’t think people deserve awards for being good researchers and writers in an academic department?[/quote]

When Chinese universities rank higher than US institutes in research papers people call that fake and copy/paste
Should they deserve to be better?[/quote]
Sure. Ignorant people have always existed. Hadn’t stopped the rest of us from researching on a non-flat planet, nor does it mean we stop vaccinating.[/quote]

If it truly helps students learn and schools can ensure the work is authentic. Otherwise, it simply becomes an easier way to cheat.[/quote]
