This is a public uni sure but its business program is top ten in the US. Seems like most of the people here are OoS from wealthy coast towns or even out of country, like my upperclassman mentor. You have to wonder if the ivy league pool would be any better especially with legacy student stuff and all their other advantages. I doubt it to be honest.

Stupid? Try smart and lazy. They're playing the ignorant card because they know someone will always rise to carry. It doesn't stop after college either, the only difference in the workplace is the people getting carried get away with it because they know which asses to kiss.

Even worse are students who only want to pass but don't actually care about doing well.

Of course, I didn't put up with it.

I got assigned to be the formatter for our first project in Engineerimg Orientation, and the guy who was supposed to do the efficiency calculation had arrived at a value with a dadgum unit of like g/mm or some crap. It wasn't even a hard calculation. So I call up the guy and ask if he can recalculate because an efficiency doesn't have units, and he just dismissively tells me he did it how it said in the book.

Well, I knew how it said to do it in the book, and this was nothing like. Well, I wasn't gonna do it for him and seeing as it would have been even more effort to drag his lazy A through it, I just saved the document and sent it off.

We got a dang D on the project because of this one page. Everyone was irate (at lazy A) and astoundingly, he didn't give us any more trouble the entire semester.

The only stupid person in a group project is the one who tries to be the leader and do the bulk of the work. You're supposed to just do enough work for it to appear like you care so that you don't piss off everyone else and seem lazy. If you're actually putting a lot of effort into the project then you're doing it wrong. Its basically impossible to get less than an 85 on a group project lol

God, this. I've been working as a software engineer for 10 years. I feel like my experience level is below where it should be but I am apparently the best person at computers in my city.

Try being a teacher.
No, you do no need my fucking permission to leave to go to the bathroom. You're 40 years of age. Just fucking leave.
Yes, when I said "read this over the weekend, it's two pages to familiarize yourself with what we're doing on Monday" means "read the fucking thing so you don't ask what the fuck is going on Monday every five minutes".

Heh.

In my case, I'll have the same number of questions whether I read it or not, but also I won't ask them either way.

These. I was the leader during my college days for almost every group project. The key is that I was in charge of writing the report on what each group member accomplished. Therefore, if someone fucked around, I could document it and that person would be docked points. Taking charge or at least making it look like you care is a good skill.

In my community college I only had to do a group project once and we were able to pick on our own. So my group was awesome. Fuck being forced into groups.

Had a group project when I was a mass comm major, 2 people didn't really do anything or coordinate and we had a PowerPoint presentation. Told the professor before they didn't do anything, and during the presentation they just froze up and fucked their parts up.

We got As and the two got Fs

Caught between teaching him a lesson and taking a bad grade. Hate that.
