<p>You think an employer likes rapid employee turnover? Do they enjoy wasting time and money hiring and then having to find a replacement after 3 weeks? If grads from your college consistently lack the skills and work ethic an employer expects, the employer will quickly stop recruiting at your college.</p>
<p>Your GPA only matters because it supposedly demonstrates something. Once employers find out otherwise, they’ll avoid your college’s grads.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Because students like you aren’t encouraging their professors to teach students real skills. Because of you, only a job can do that.</p>
<p>well tough s*** for the students that didn’t learn a thing in college, is it my fault? no, am i going to complain about it? no</p>
<p>its how the world works and if you think getting a 4.0 will get you your 2nd, third, 4th job and bring you up in the ladder then i feel bad for you.</p>
<p>Colleges should be weeding out lazy incompetents, not just employers. The only reason this doesn’t happen is because everyone can pass college. </p>
<p>There’s nothing wrong with complaining that everyone can pass college with flying colors. All this does is breed inefficiency in recruiting and hiring college grads, because employers have no idea if college grads are idiots or not.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s why I said recent alumni. No one said that GPA matters. The question is why GPA doesn’t matter. GPA doesn’t matter because people like you encourage the system to remain dumbed down.</p>
<p>lol a lot of majors anyone can pass. Hence why i believe going to college does not make you smart, it can even prove that your an idiot.</p>
<p>getting a job is all about selling yourself. Getting the employer to see you as enticing. After you get the job, its all up to you to keep it. Now if you didn’t learn anything, well then you will quickly learn how big of a time you wasted away in college.</p>
<p>i dont encourage the system to be dumbed down, i just laugh at the people that think their grade should matter, because once you get your job you will realize you will do a fraction of what you learned in college and you just have to be proficient at doing it.</p>
<p>College isn’t free. If you choose to spend $20,000+/yr, then you expect something in return. </p>
<p>It’s reasonable to expect that college will teach you the material as outlined in each class description. It’s also reasonable to expect that college will assess your understanding by upholding grading standards. Professors who give everyone A’s undermine the grading standards.</p>
<p>If you think college coursework doesn’t teach you relevant work skills, that’s fine. But earlier you also said that students who actually want to learn should be browsing the internet. If you didn’t learn anything in college that you couldn’t learn on the internet, and if employers know that college doesn’t teach relevant work skills, then why the hell did you attend college? Apparently it doesn’t educate you and it doesn’t help you get a better job.</p>
<p>Attempting to curb grade inflation is attempting to give meaning back to a college education. As a student, the only thing you can try and do to curb grade inflation is to call out professors who are just throwing out A’s.</p>
<p>you can learn anything in the internet,but employers want the degree if you dont have the experience. Why couldn’t you learn what you were taught in college by a textbook? they teach off textbooks.</p>
<p>Degree is just to get your foot in the door. Your spending 20k a year just to get those options, everything else is up to you</p>
<p>And why would a degree get you a foot in the door? Don’t you think this indicates that employers consider your degree to mean something? If they find out this degree doesn’t mean what it used to, they will adjust their policies accordingly. </p>
<p>A degree will no longer get you a foot in the door if the degree’s standards aren’t upheld. This is quickly becoming the case. It’s unfortunate, because there’s a quick fix: bring rigor back to education.</p>
<p>Just so you know, it is not uncommon for a professor to know who makes the posts on RMP. I have been slammed exactly once (I know that is not what you did) and know exactly who it was. Perhaps the lesson to be learned is to not put anything in writing that you wouldn’t want the whole world to read. BTW, that was the advice my mother gave me more than 45 years ago–long before the computer age.</p>
<p>You can change your settings to ignore posts, ham, and then you don’t see them at all.</p>
<p>I kinda feel bad for the prof just because he wrote you the letter of recommendation! lol</p>
<p>But the guy will probably take what you said constructively. If he was cool enough to just hand out A’s to anybody, he should be open to your criticism.</p>
<p>Yeah. Because people like you don’t give a damn when college education goes to hell.
Instead, you whine that others are encouraging professors to change their habitual grade inflation.</p>
<p>I was just at a leadership conference with the Red Cross earlier today. They kept blowing that idea into our minds. I never even knew that all the Tweets from Twatter were going to be archived by the government. Now I really feel the eyes of Big Brother!</p>
<p>Yeah, I really wouldn’t’ve felt nearly as bad about this if the guy hadn’t written me that rec letter. </p>
<p>On the other hand, I mean, not too many people complain about easy As. If I didn’t say something, I don’t think anyone else would. I just seriously, seriously wish I’d phrased it more politely : (</p>
<p>wow learn to read, i said i dont encourage it, but i’m not going to cry about the few that got that teacher and got the same grade as i did. Your going to see a LOT of bad teachers in your time in college. As i said for the hundredth time, you can put the extra initiative to learn more about the subject, you dont need a teacher telling it to you.</p>
<p>Its a multi major course, as in, people take it just to get on with their majors. Unless its something that consists of math. I doubt employers would care if they learned anything from it anyways.</p>
<p>what level 400 class is a multi major requirement anyways? i have yet to see one other than the “professional” electives where you are forced to take a 3-400 level classes from another major to graduate.</p>
<p>and by the way, i have told teachers before that the class was too easy, but i did it in a professional manner. I didn’t go on rate my professor or ***** about anyone else getting the grades. I simply told him students are able to learn at a much faster pace. Little did i know his path was because the university has to follow on the same topics to get accreditation. Its not his fault, just the class was supposed to be that slow.</p>
