You get a mix of lecturers. Some enjoy teaching while others prefer only research. Ones that prefer research tend to put little to no effort into teaching.

In order to also keep a good level of passing students they simplify the exam and lower the pass rate. I'm studying a PhD and I'm friends with some of the lecturers. They say that the questions are tame compared to what they uses to be like.

Maybe they're looking through else tinted glasses.

yeah, more than any other responses in this thread, its that most money brought into uni now is via research grants, so profs focus on their research rather than teaching. But yeah, I also think in general, school is easier so more pass so the school can also keep getting $$$ from more and more tuition.

Well, where I went the professors would throw together shittily thought out exam questions (I don't even know how they're getting some of those question - some of the exams are just asinine and idiotic with the questions); then somehow Fs in the classes wind up being curved up to As and Bs....

Let me ask you: what's wrong with a system like I just mentioned? Or what's right with it?
