Nothing in particular as of late, but I've had my fair share of run-ins with dipshit college professors.I was accused by my professor of plagiarizing a final I wrote last year, which was this big twenty-page research paper. He told me he wasn't going to do anything about it, grade-wise--but that's still something I don't take lightly. I gave him a piece of my mind (probably a bit too angrily) via e-mail, and he told me to come to his office with all of my prior assignments if I wanted to discuss the matter further.He was being cheeky--he knows most kids throw away their assignments when they're graded--but I don't. I went to his office with every single paper I wrote for that fucking class.He was impressed, and as he went through my work, we talked it over--his reasoning was simply that there was a distinct and noticeable lack of effort involved with my previous writings, whereas my research paper was very pristine, and almost "perfectly" written--so he assumed I didn't write it.YEAH--because a student wanting to put in his best effort for the final just doesn't make any sense at all. Clearly, I copied it from somebody else. He eventually listened to reason and apologized for the offense.But yeah, like I said--he wasn't gonna do anything about it, because he didn't have the proof, but just that he had the temerity to even accuse me of doing it in the first place--this guy's a ph.D, by the way--really just brought my blood to a boil. I left a mark on him, though, after that meeting--I still visit him from time to time to share some other things I wrote. He fucking hates college kids, too, so that kinda means a lot.
He wants me to be his TA, but I don't know. He is getting very old, and he could probably use some help, but the idea makes me very uncomfortable for anxiety-based reasons.
Because a turnaround in student's previous writing quality (on the final no less) isn't suspicious at all
Episode VIII being delayed.

Students don't want to do their best work, they want to pass Especially on the final

Kids may just want to pass in high school--but in college, you literally can't afford not to do your best. You'd have to be an idiot to just want to pass.
