....This reminds me, via "god what a good contrast bless you for existing", of a professor I had freshman year who proudly said that she nearly never gave out A's.
My university is top 20 (probably will rise to top 15 as the cheating scandal filters out into the rankings) and I just. That class was so disheartening, for a 100 class, as a tiny thing? And I happen, even, to be someone who's good at the Traditional Academic Structure; I can shit out a paper that gets A's from almost all my professors the night before with little prep or thought. (Sometimes I wonder how good I could've been if I'd tried, and want to spit acid at past-me, but also she was dealing with undiagnosed anxiety and depression and a hell of a lot of emotional shit, but still.)
Good for you for making the world a little better.
