My Dwindling Faculties

So I dunno about you guys, but I def­i­nitely feel like I’ve not got­ten any smarter since I started col­lege. In fact, I feel like it’s a con­stant strug­gle to hold on to what lit­tle intel­li­gence I have left. A strug­gle that gets harder with every year, since I have to remem­ber mate­r­ial from way back when. (Mean­ing high school/​freshman year.)

No won­der 50% of col­lege seniors are sus­pected of pla­gia­rism. Sup­pos­edly 25 – 30% are actu­ally guilty! Assum­ing this anony­mous pro­fes­sor is cor­rect, that’s one in four col­lege seniors; See­ing as I have more than four friends on this thing, would any­one like to fess up? I’m curi­ous about just how accu­rate his num­bers are.

And on a side note, I won­der if I could hack it at a place like this. I used to unof­fi­cially tutor friends, and Syl­van Learn­ing Cen­ter even tried to recruit me after my SAT scores came out.

  1. I gotta be hon­est with you, I belong to the 50% of the col­lege stu­dents who do not cheat. I rather go down in flames than cheat, it’s too risky and plus all the energy you’ll put try­ing to cheat is bet­ter off spent on study­ing. I’m such a goodie two-​shoes…

  2. That looks like a cool site!!

    I won­der why the woman had to wear cat ears though… crazy.

    You should prob­a­bly go work for Syl­van Learn­ing Cen­ter. I think the pay might be more con­stant than answer­ing ques­tions online. Plus, you might have to beat the top earner to the ques­tions (that one per­son from berkeley?)
