You know what- based on the degree actually meaning ANYTHING, the kids that have gone through the science-for-non-science-majors classes that I have TAed for are just a HAIR away from creation science degrees themselves. They cheat, lie, plagiarize, lie some more and want at LEAST a "B" for their efforts. They might as well have a creation science degree as a BA from any of the major universities (well, at least the U of A) it seems like. The sorority and fraternity kids are the worst of the lot.
The professors really try to present meaningful material in an accessable manner- these kids aren't students, they are little jerks who think they need a degree for some reason or other or are there to party and snag a hot, potentially rich man or wife.
They are rich, willfully ignorant brats who demand a degree handed to them on a platter. These are the morons who are running their dad's companies and going into managerial positions, subsequently making OUR lives hell when we inevitably have to deal with them in some way in our day-to-day.
You wouldn't think it but I do like teaching- but sheesh, in some classes you may as well be reading out of a Swahili dictionary, for all the information the kids take from their time in class.
What to do...?...
