What's the Bigger Problem - Crack Cocaine or Materialism?

Let me retract slightly and clarify more.

If you want to aim for a high percentage, top of class etc. those opportunities for great study are there. I usually use them for personal study as opposed to what they are dishing out, but that is still there.

If you just want to pass and keep your scholarship, most courses require slightly above 0 effort. Read through the notes once before an exam and you are good to go.

So, at the end of the day, braindead people can, and do, end up with degrees.

which I'm guessing you wouldn't really apply to a subject like Biochemistry

Biochemistry is exactly the type of subject I am talking about. Of all the Biochems I took, only Organic Chem was hard and that was because you actually had to go to the labs. That cuts 3 hours a week, making it one of the hardest courses.

None of the other ones had any sort of actually going to lab, lecture or study periods being required for getting a B.

Oh. So you actually are writing off all subjects that aren't 'pure' arts? Good luck with that.

The only legitimate occupation is gentleman.
