You say that but I've had two classes this semester with an 70%+ fail rate. One of them probably needs addressed in the sense the professor was ass, but one was just straight up hard. They gave no fucks about failing over half the class. The pre-req for that class also had a 60% failure rate (based on who I see repeating it).

I don't doubt some universities are degree mills, and ASU has always been known as a party school, but I assure you it's not as widespread as some would believe based on my experiences at 3 universities.

That being said, the quality of student certainly seems to have dropped.

yeah, which is why where you get your degree sometimes matters but with all the standization, strictly speaking a AAEE-T from a shitty school counts just as much as any other school, even if the quality isn't there.
