[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know why but Cal really embraces undergraduate kids who are willing to do anything to succeed. [b]Cheating and sabotage have risen to a level of sophistication and pervasiveness across some largely represented groups[/b] that it isn’t the same place it used to be. Stress and depression is common with kids who don’t cheat and simply can’t compete by breaking the rules. If Cal removed the unethical students but kept the same level of rigor, students would bond more over failing together. Instead, they become isolated.

It’s sad because you grow and learn more by being challenged to failure. However, you can’t do that anymore.

huh?

They are talking about rampant cheating by Asian students. Pretty well known.[/quote]

Asiana make up 40% of Harvard and other elite institutions so is this cheating only at Cal or also at other top schools as well. Somehow the biggest scammers like Trump, SBF and Holmes seem to not be Asians.[/quote]

I have no idea whether Harvard turns a blind eye to cheating and sabotage the way Cal does. At Cal it is particularly bad because you have a much larger population of international Asian students and Asian American students whose families are still connected to their home countries. Cheating is not seen as immoral or unethical in several of these countries. If you can’t earn a A you are expected to cheat to get a A. Kids across cultures will be tempted to cheat but the Asian cultures support it at the family level. Large industries exist in their home countries to enable the cheating. The faculty do not like this at all but what can they do? Classes are large, the cheating methods are sophisticated, they can’t kick out a third of the class, and TAs are spread too thin to deal with this.

Years ago it used to really just be pre meds sabotaging each other’s labs but it happens pretty frequently in engineering too. The deflationary curve, coupled with cheating, makes kids desperate. Cal doesn’t really do anything about it either. The attitude is more you should never take your eyes off your lab or walk away from your screen. [/quote]
When DCUM becomes Stormfront . . . . Take your racist jackassery elsewhere, my dude.[/quote]

A few years ago UCLA publicly broke up a Chinese cheating ring. The LSAT is suspending giving the exam on mainland China due to many students with perfect LSAT scores arriving at top schools with very low English skills.

If you have any connection to current faculty or students at Cal, you’d know it is a reality.[/quote]
I know many Cal graduates, a few profs/instructors, and a couple current students in the really real meat world, which is very different from the html-pixelated world people here mistake for reality.

Also, do they teach rhetoric, statistics, or notions sample-size at Fourth Reich University? Some Chinese kids cheating a few years ago at another university or LSAT testing policy in China does not reasonably support any inference of mass undergraduate cheating by pan-Asians at Berkeley in the present.[/quote]
You have no qualifications and mostly speak out of your ass. [/quote]
