We've had that discussion several times here on FR. Students wondering if they should hold to their principles or just give the liberal prof what he wants to hear. No easy answer to that one.

I'm sure the University is working hard on this problem this video caused and will make sure the person who leaked it is severely punished.

“Students wondering if they should hold to their principles or just give the liberal prof what he wants to hear.”

Grammar problems — and believe me, plenty of college students have them — are not a matter of liberal or conservative. Grammar is grammar.

The student in this video, no matter who he is, appears to think he deserves a B just because he says he worked hard and he’s there. This is what professors see all the time. Why aren’t Freepers outraged by his entitlement attitude?

While in Grauate School I was enrolled in a required course of which most of the grade was based on writing critiques of papers written by “experts” about social issues affecting certain groups of people in the U.S. One such paper tried to address the effects of poverty on African Ameicans in the U.S. during the 1980’s - two problems though, the reseach was based on information derived from the 1920’s and used primarly White Amercans as subjects (they couldn’t find enough Black respondants during that era willing to participate). My critique pointed these two problem out - I received a grade of “C” and the professor wanted to know what my problem was criticising the woman who wrote the paper as she was “eminent” in her field. From that point on I just regurgitated the information written in the journal articles (demonstrating that I “understood” the article which is all this prof wanted). I ended up with a “B” for the course.
