it shows up the big f*ck*ng sham of things
how some students get signed off when they haven't done the work.
because whatever it was that they were supposed to have to get to go and do the next thing was always going to them and they were always going to get to go and do that.
so people are given passing grades or courses.
or passing degrees for courses.
passing certificates.
so they can go on and do the very next thing.but not for other people.
other people are told that they don't get examined this year.
they don't qualify to complete their course this year.
their course isn't going to be examined anymore.
so no degree for them.
no certifiation for them.
thanks for all the money and time and effort you invested in your education...
no degree for you
go away
you lose.just wow.
it shows that up.
how we don't examine / assess anything anymore.
i know, i'm supposed to go 'but wait! maybe that means i wasn't assessed properly before! maybe the reason why nobody will acknowledge my previous grades and calculate my GPA properly is because my previous grades are every bit as much rubbish as the grades given to the kids who bribed the foreign officials to get out of their elective placements!'
but it used to be the case that the people who wrote high quality textbooks wrote high quality multiple choice examination to be used in conjunction with the high quality textbook. because we wanted the students to be able to read and retain and form inferences on the basis of the information that we taught them.
reading comprehension kinds of skills in other words.
my grades (in psychology anyway) were from those kinds of examinations that were actually plenty competitive at undergraduate level because people were working hard to try and earn a place in clinical psychology program.
and none of the content of psychology was stuff that was only taught to some depending on their high school. so it was a level playing field in that sense.
so i don't buy it.
but always with the constant stream of 'no because of b*llsh*t made up excuse'...
of course the only reason they hire armies of administrators and people to process applications to enrol and the like...
is to waste time and throw applications out and make sure they aren't processed properly and the like. that's why they pay them so very very much. so their grubby grubby selves feel special that they get to do such a big and important job.
making sure the psychopaths and incompetents reign with tehir peers.
oh what joy!

i know the sociology stuff on khan academy says that the source or root of evil is in lack of organisation. the lack or absense of it or whatever.
but i don't believe it.
from what i've seen. learned. experienced it isn't lack of organisation at all.
there actually is an invisible hand. many invisible hands.
many people getting away with things to profit themselves at others expense just because they can... many people being bullied and cowed into 'shoot that person / cull that application -- just because i said or i'll come after you'...
it actually is that. those kinds of things.
that result in the big f*ck*ng messes that the world is in.
it's actually true.

>and that is supposed to be the lesson here.
that it is about *who they choose*.
so it is about *sucking up to them*.
it isn't about the patients. get that out of your head.
it isn't about the students. get that out of your head.it is about grovelling and placating and so on the people with the power.
the tribal chief. the 11x22 of them or whatever it is
'please can i has some hand sanitiser?'
'please can i has some hand sanitiser?'
'is it okay with you if i just a little of the hand santisier?'...
that's the moral or the lesson.
you are never supposed to take your eyes (all gooey for you all gooey for you goochie goochie goo for you tribal chieftan on several hundreds of thousands of dollars per year with slummy slum slums full of people all gooey eyed for you tribal chieftan leader oh selector of who gets to stay with you goochie goochie goo'
yeah. the university. bout that productivity. hey.
