Isn’t that what education is? Paying someone money and putting in the work?
- cassianoleal 4y agoOf course not. You still need to actually learn the subjects and pass the exams. Putting in the work is not enough. The people who fail usually should fail. When I was doing CompSci most people would fail discrete maths 2-3 times until they managed to get it. It's a good thing that they failed the first few times. I don't see how that's bad, they didn't understand it at first.
- rad_gruchalski 4y ago> Paying someone money and putting in the work? Yes. That's what it is. But it isn't "paying someone money and feeling entitled to finish because I paid the money".
- what-the-grump 4y agoSo these students, and I know plenty, that went to NYU. Paid the money, put in the work, and pass every class getting B's & A's, except orgo. Well orgo is hard... no not really, its a first - second year class? The students are setup to fail. Do I think the professor is the root issue, no just look at replies in the this thread, 'its been that way for 30 years, blah blah'. I am paying you to teach me orgo, not to fail me at orgo. Teach it in a passable way and then test the students outside of the class, like the MCAT or LSAT where you are not commingling the selection criteria on the whims of a professor. Is this really that hard to see?
