Class Numbers Shrink over the Term

Posted on April 8, 2008 @ 2:17 am

One of the strangest things that I noticed while attending college was that the class kept getting smaller as the term progressed.  I figured it couldn’t be that everyone was is getting sick and had to be something a little deeper than that.

When I went to talk to my professor about the mark I received on a dissertation that I had submitted, I thought it would be the perfect time to ask him what was going on.  I was a little startled by the story that he told me.

What I was told was that instead of submitting a thesis that the student wrote, many students in the class had been purchasing the same custom term papers from the Internet and submitting them as their own work.  According to the college bylaws, by submitting an essay that wasn’t your own work, a student would face expulsion.

So in an effort to do less assignments and writing, these students for giving up their chance at a college degree in a great career just so they could party a little more.  What a bad choice.
