News: College Kids are Stupid

[Omni]

Oh, it's "kind of" disturbing? That these "folks" can't do "those things"?

It looks like someone doesn't have a college education.

...

You're an idiot.

The average college student at a public university is dumb as shit. I kept a list of fucked up sentences from papers students have turned into me, but I lost it not too long ago.

So they were able to make the papers become you? Weird.

I'm fairly drunk at the moment, so my post will be scrutinized as well.

One of my tech school professors stated that, even though you have a degree, it doesn't necessarily make you smart. Intelleligence should not be measured by one's degrees, but how they go about using them and it is just a basis for one's ability to learn skills presented to them.


I've encountered the situation first hand. I wasn't necessarily the best student in my class, but when a company came to my school and tested students for an interview, I was one of the seven to pass the tests. There were about 60 students that took the tests, but most failed because they didn't actually learn what they were taught. It's more about using what you have learned, and applying it to the situations presented to you. You would think that a business major would understand what they were taught, but most don't seem to comprehend it in real world situations.

"[...] Beowulf is fully and primarily a Christian poem because most of the passages within the poem support the suggestions of there being references made in the poem that can be found in the Old and New Testaments [...]"

Whoa, whoa. That's the most inane sentence I've ever read.

If any of those sentences were in my Southern Literature professor's paper she would probably murder the kid. Then again, 5 errors in her paper = automatic C. Teachers doing shit like that improve the quality of writing with a quickness.

OWNED.

Oy, that one hurt...but it's not the most inane sentence I've ever read. You ever do peer editing or work in the english center? It's a goddamn nightmare.

For serious. I'll end up reading a peer's paper and responding:

"Well, your introduction lacks a thesis, your first body paragraph, while lengthy, is comprised of one sentence, and you don't have a conclusion at all."

Only to get the response:

"Oh shit dude... how do I fix that?"

How do these people even graduate high school?

I just finished writing a letter of recommendation for one of my employees to go to college (application phase). This girl is dumb as shit and is applying to Rutgers. The sad thing is she will probably be accepted.

I graduated from RU, and my entire 5 years as a student and 3 years as an RU employee was nothing but a parade of stupid people pretending to be smart.

[Tragic]

Yeah, but, is she hot...?

If yes tell her: Quad II, House 22, Room 2232. Ask for Rich, not Scott.
