/sci/ - Science & Math

you sure do seem to like talking about yourself on social media

you chose a code monkey degree. you never had any genuine desire to learn anything whatsoever. you only ever wanted to just get a job to make app user interfaces.

you could learn CS in depth much better without having to pay 5k for mandatory gender studies classes WITHOUT COLLEGE
You could be a lifeguard (there's a shortage because everyone is fucking obese or going to college) and make enough to move out of your parents home so you can have sex.
College is the biggest fucking scam ever and people only do it because the gig economy can't support that many fucking idiot retards.

>How the hell do I have a genuine learning experience again?
Sans the grades and only keep the motivation part.
People do thing because they want to, not because they have a metaphysical debt gun pointed at their nuts.
Do you think the greatest thinkers of the world spend sleepless nights on their feminist ethics essay? No they were sleepless over their passions.

Sue your school for your money back I guess

>23M
>Still in community college
>Noticed a pattern that I do well on homework but do shit on tests
>Also pursuing CS degree

I am trying to change my study habits to not cheat myself so I actually understand the material but I'll find out in 2 weeks or less if I'm doing better for sure. I think I am doing better but my worst fear is that I will be too retarded to do CS and will have to settle for a wageslave career. I must succeed or die trying.

>>16055413
Do.

Google "80% of college graduates cheat", the professors think students are smarter because the students are cheating to compensate for the lack of intelligence. It's only after you graduate and start working that you have the free time to study on your own from reading the computer science theory books that you can finally learn in peace.

The academics all cheated their way in their phd programs, hiding eachothers plagarism and taking exams which they know all the questions and answers to, and people wonder why it takes between 5 to 8 years to get a phd in physics now as compared to 3 to 4 years in getting a physics phd in the year 1940.

You've been competing against people who know the answers to the homeworks and exam preemptively and who's version of socializing and networking is simply drinking with eachother and having sex and or doing favors for eachother. For someone who actually wants to learn, legitamately, university/college is not suitable for this anymore. It turned into a cramschool for diploma mills and the phd program is just make as many friends as possible without getting caught, sure in the purer stem fields it's slightly different, like engineering and math and chemistry and physics, but people still cheat and plagarise in those fields as well.

You're better off studying on your own.

Cheating is especially common in CS.
It's getting really bad because they have to start toning down requirements and being more easy and giving stronger curves.
It's really crazy because I studied math and it's fucking impossible to cheat. Even if you go on fucking stack exchange to look at proofs odds are you're not going to find one you understand or could apply in the context/scope of your class.
So you end up just reading more material and guess what that's not cheating that's fucking studying. Also all my professors wanted us to work together so we didn't end up autistic retards... it happened anyways. I didn't have sex until I was a senior. If I left college a virgin I would have fucking sued the school.
Anyways CS majors were probably the most retarded people I've ever met... but somehow they can make fun games so the cs guys I knew get a pass for being fun. At one point I wanted to quit grad school and make videogames... I realize I'm a one trick pony and getting that tenure track is my own chance at not being miserable forever.

It is very easy to get ahead of a class. This is why they bog students down with a bunch of unrelated subjects. Their perfect student spins his wheels and gets nowhere.
