Shit man.
They asked students, "If I'm paying for my college education, I'm entitled to a degree."
42.5% agreed. 22.8% are 'unsure' and 35.7% disagreed.
42.5%. Should we be glad that it's only 42.5 and not more than that?
I'd say this number would escalate in a couple years time. Because the Higher Education Research Institute (HERI) reported that academic disengagement is becoming more rampant. (1985 - 26% felt bored in class; 1999 - 38% felt bored in class; By 2000, 40% felt bored in class)
Unless they do something about it.
The study also asked whether students were interested in grades than learning. So it asked: "I would take a course in which I would learn little or nothing but receive an A".
73.3% said yes, they would.
That's why I said, at some point in my life, going to uni or college is like the logical step in life kinda thing.
Might as well buy a degree off the Web, right?
*Digressing*
See how I didn't say 'buy a degree off the Internet' instead? Because there's a difference between the Net and the Web. Remember, the Net is the infrastructure; the Web is the content, so to speak.
Wah. Seriously ah.
A Stanford business student shouted at an instructor, "I didn't pay $40,000 to listen to this bullshit," and walked out of class (Bellah, 1999, as cited in Delucchi and Korgen, 2002).
See how rude college students are? Malaysian institutions have students like that except that they don't walk out of the class after shouting that. They prolly murmur to themselves or whine to their friends. Then leave the classroom to go somewhere and come back 10 minutes or so later.
Or they could (insert your scenario here).

Fact is, most students study because "We have to" or "I don't wanna start working yet".
Well, I do think everyone deserve a degree if they decided to go further their studies, that said, some might take longer to graduate.
The 42.5% deserve the degree because they paid for it but they might take 10 years to graduate and get out of uni. Fair enough? =)

Yes, provided they put in effort, hard work and actually care about their studies to graduate and not because 'they paid so they get'.
have to - pretty much thats how the systems are nowadays. specially malaysia u screw ur way through primary and secondary, den when u go college and uni, u realize. shit ass high school stuff was just like a demo run of studying.
should- without knowledge , ure pretty much stupid and incompetant, unless u were born an IQ of 250 and above den u can sit on a wheel chair and act smart.
as to how rude some ignorant students can be, it onli takes another bold student to finish the rude wan off. for example, like ur scenario. the kid shouts about the paying and not learning crap. being the "mischievious" me as usual, i countered den" get out and study urself, ask for a refund boy, we don know u screaming in class" which in fact really happened during my first sem year one, that kid actually repeated twice for his sem failing more den half of his subject and has been blaming the lecturers and the tutors for his "underperformance" well i would say screw him, the lecturers and tutors here are pretty amazing, vy friendly, they REALLY keep trak of u, facebook u, msn u, even call us to hav dinner or lunch, or drop their house for a discussion. there are a few who are too busy to do so, but they try their best to shrink the line between us and them. and using this way of teaching. we were able to ease through our subjects. its like havin a really smart friend in the group that knows evrything. LoL. shit i think i talked too much
