Personally I don't care how a professor evaluates students. If the student feels like they are getting the experience necessary to learn something or perform in the real world then by all means chose your own grades and continue paying tuition. What I suspect would happen though is that the student would not be prepared for the real world and any company would quickly realize this. This would lower the economic value of a degree from the institution and as such even students who do not chose their own grades (within the institution) could be negatively affected.

> even students who do not chose their own grades (within the institution) could be negatively affected That's right. Since there's no way to tell which ones chose their own grades, all the grades become worthless. One of my high school teachers decided that everyone taking his class should get an A. The result was the students simply didn't respect him or the class.

To know that all your hard work means bupkis? Sure, you could argue that learning is its own reward but really becomes meaningless when you and all the rest of the jack off losers who got an A (who didn't earn them) as well are considered the same by a post secondary institution considering you both for admission.
