Anyone of intelligence knows that many degrees and most liberal arts degrees are worthless.
That pesky IQ-Gap just won’t go away.
There is no deductive reasoning being used that logically deduct that an F grade either means someone is not living up to their ability or a person hasn’t the ability to master a subject for whatever reason. An F is not a condemnation of a person’s existence or of every ability a person does possess. It merely gives a guideline as to whether or not a person’s ability and potential is lacking and they should pursue either remedial help in the subject or find a subject which suits their ability.
Whether you’re just another cog on a sprocket or part of a high-speed precision gearbox, you can’t be “out of spec” or all hell will break loose.
Meanwhile, everyone will know that a *No Credit* means a *D* or *F*.
They are not fooling anyone but themselves.
This is yet more convincing evidence of the worthless value of going to college. We must fill colleges full of bodies even if those bodies lack motivation or the mental horsepower to learn anything.
This is why young people won’t show up every day at work on time and won’t exert any effort to do their jobs when they do show up.
This is the cancer of “entitlement” telling young people they are wonderful, special and deserve all the best things in life just because they breathe.
No effort is required of human LOSERS.
This is punch in the face to all who work hard and excel in school and at work.
Missing here is the answer to a fundamental question: “How does a society function or continue when key jobs are not being completed?”
Airliners fall apart in the sky when nobody cares if important tasks are completed or done with conscientious precision.
If the student gets an NC he will have to take the course again so it will take him longer to graduate (if he does graduate), so the university gets tuition money from him for a longer period of time. Of course if he got an F he would have to re-take the course anyway.
