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). The final project was worth 50% of their final grade. They walked away with a C in the class.
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.

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.

I don't believe that this came from a third-year college engineering program. I don't believe that they passed if it did...
Jesus Christ, for a second I thought you posted my poster there. Also, I now know the molecular biology classes are a fucking joke in all colleges. As long as you show up , you pass was the mantra for my class

looks like hastily cribbed together 6th grade science fair. what school is this?

I don't want to give out that info. Suffice to say it is a major state university

I really wish it was. It is embarrassing. They spat in my prof's face and shit on our whole program with this and they still passed.

if i turned this in here in mexico I would be laughed out of the building and I would have failed the class.
I can not believe that american universities are this bad.

This.
At my college, we call biologists "people who were too dumb to do math and chemistry but still wanted to be called scientists."
Our chem, biochem, and physics professors openly mocked Biology majors for being useless and retarded. This is no secret.

You want me to type that shit? Links?

Fresno State is not a major state university.
