Politics in American universities.

Pic related was the final project submitted by a group of three students. The class was Molecular Biology Laboratory in a Biomedical Engineering program. This is a second-semester Junior level class (year 3 of 4 in the degree program).

Just look at it. This got a passing grade. The instructor wanted to fail them but the administration forced him to pass them through the class.

In our university, the classes and degree programs are gauged by how many students are currently enrolled and how many are graduating. You heard that right: the university has a vested interest in just pushing people through their degree programs.

Many people in my class are very pissed off that this received a passing grade. We all worked very hard on our final projects except for this group and maybe one other and this shit gets a passing grade. Our posters actually looked like scientific posters, at least.

>American Education

What can be done? This is a "legitimate" university engineering program that is letting this below-elementary-school-level work get a passing grade in an upper-level class. This is proof-positive that it isn't only the liberal arts and gender studies degrees in american colleges that are worthless.

>I have a degree in STEM and I can't get a job!

now I know why.

Is this really normal for american universities? This wouldn't pass a mexican grade school. This is, literally, below mexican standards

burger, I went to university here in mexico for accounting/finance but I had to take a first-year biology class and if i submitted what was in op's pic i would have not only failed but would have been laughed out of the building and made fun of for the rest of my time in that university.

I'm not telling you what school go to. I'll tell you this, though: all of the posters from the other groups were taped-up in the hallway on display but the one i posted in my OP was not. It was so bad that the instructor didn't put it on display but it got a passing grade

College has been obsolete for over a decade now, thanks to the internet. Like any obsolete institution, its primary goal is now to sustain its own existence. If that means passing literally everyone (think high school and earlier) then that's what they'll do. Their "legitimacy" is irrelevant because they get paid either way, for now.

That is some straight up bullshit.
What school? Just give the state, at least.
>Posters
We had one of the few plotters in our lab. We always had students ask us to print their posters.
Invariably, they had shit wrong (even after we told them make sure to double check everything before we hit print, that ink was expensive) they would us to redo it. We had a two-strikes rule; only two chances to get it right or it's off to Kinkos.
Finally we just stopped buying ink for it.
Too much of a hassle, especially at the end of the semester when they all came to get their shit printed at the same time.
That didn't stop them from asking, though.
We'd purposely schedule field work those weeks, so they'd be knocking on the door of an empty room.
>"Nobody's home. Nobody's home." mp4
The most annoying ones were business and psychology students coming to our engineering lab asking to print posters.
>You have a plotter in your building.
>Why did you walk across campus to ask us to print your shit?
"Nobody knows how to use it."
>Yeah. Sorry. We're out of ink.
>>
>>127714508
To put it in perspective, this entire project is equivalent to a first year, first semester 9 credits worth (out of 180) of biology course in Italy that lasts 6 months, including histology lab experiences.
That wouldn't get a passing grade desu

That's because they get more money from the government if the push out more graduates.

American education is fucked because it's all about getting people to pass without having them actually understand what they're taught, whether it's for brownie points or gibs from Uncle Sam.

The majour/minor system is pretty fucked desu. When my uni changed to a semester system all courses got to do a semester of another on, the engineering accredited board would not allow this, so I cannot think how a course where you are doing 60% of engineering and 40% other crap is legitimate . I have also looked for engineering jobs in both the US and UK. In the US it is very rare to find something that pays and does not require +2 years experienced.

I know from experience that STEM classes have very fucking few points invested in anything that isn't proctored right now. The reasons are obvious enough. Soultions manuals are easy to get (and, lets face it, horribly convenient for studying), Wolfram is a thing, and there's simply just no point in wrapping all of these LIFE SKALLZ presentation projects up in a stem course.

The one exception that springs to mind from my curriculum was Chemistry, however, so it might just be a thing in those fields that are as much life science as they are natural science.

Because it is less about memorizing and more about understanding.

I don't know in the North, but here if you deviated too far from the textbooks you may get a failing mark even if it was technically correct, specially in humanistic crap. No one cares about that in college.

Women and Chads are used to the smarter guys doing all the "group" work. Though do to gender group dynamics three Chads still would have produced better results as males are interested in compwting towards a common goal and females are primariky interested in who is their friend or not. Women only work well in grouos when they are taking care of people, specifically family and friends.

I banged a hot sorority slut who was an ECE major, smart chick but she loved dressing sexy for lab and getting beta orbiting indians all drooling and eager to do the work for her. Then I would come to her apartment and fuck her in all three holes after laughing about the horny nerds (and I was a compsci major). Her little fetish was her academic downfall though, she slowly began to think she couldnt hack it/"I am meant to be more creative" self-consoling, and her uni didn't push women through STEM.

My sister went to a school in the US and had to take mandatory "general education" courses, which were unironic feminist/leftist indoctrination courses. She was later made a TA in the course and sent me some of the essays she had to grade. The class was junior-level but the essays looked like they could have been written by a middle schooler for how shit they were.

>>127730833
no child left behind is such a disaster.

My friend from college is a schoolteacher, she teaches sped kids and it's basically her job to force the speds who are retarded and don't care to graduate. Their (equally retarded) parents come in screeching about how little johnny MUST go to Yale, and that little johnny is a smart boy and therefore is entitled to a Yale degree. The entire college culture of this stupid country is beyond retarded. Johnny isn't smart, he's lazy as fuck, and literally doesn't even want to go to college.
So here's the funny part. Part of her assignment last year was to do research about how many kids pushed to go to college through sped programs actually succeeded. Like, 90% of kids in the special needs program graduated highschool. 90% of them went to college, and some to even really good colleges, yet barely any ever graduated or even made it past the first year, at college. Wasting tens of thousands of dollars. So yes, the special needs program and "no child left behind" policies exist exclusively to push kids to go to colleges where they will fail and waste their money.
I have my thoughts as to who might benefit from such a trend...
