Berkeley students shut down exam, demand 'take-home' instead
Campus Reform ^ | October 2, 2017 | Kyle Perisic

Leftist students at the University of California, Berkeley recently attempted to shut down their own mid-term exam, demanding a take-home exam in its place.

As seen in a video posted on YouTube, four students demanded a “take-home essay with significant time to prepare” instead of the scheduled in-class exam, though Professor Harley Shaiken adamantly refused their request.

If I were looking to hire someone for my business, a candidate showed up with a degree from Berkley they would definitely be passed over for it....no way.

I doubt they know what they’re asking for. I never had a take home in undergrad. In graduate school I did, and they are far harder than regular closed book exams.

we need to start using the term Liberal privilege when talking about how liberals react to things like the word no when it comes to being used on them.

This stuff is well known to employers. I talked to a recruiter some years ago. He said resumes from students at brain-dead colleges go right into the trash.

“Berkeley students shut down class mid-semester, demand “A” for the entire semester.”

Sa soon as I saw the youtube video, I knew we were not dealing with engineering students.

I remember my final in a semiconductor physics class. It was part in-class closed book and part take home. The in-class was relatively painless. The take home took well over a day (24+ hrs) to complete.

“Never remember anything you can find written down”

I would think that admonition of 50+ years ago is even more true today

Because even if you’re not one of the id10t protesters, you were stupid enough to go there in the first place.

Jeff Jr is doing his post grad at Berkeley in STEM. he doesn’t see any of this stupidity. honestly this is 1 or 2 special snowflakes who are unemployable anyway and not indicative of Berkeley as a whole.

Why don’t they just demand a college degree?

My wife's father had to attend an underground school where the penalty for being caught studying was to be shot or shipped to a camp to be gassed.

Kinda gives a different meaning to "oppression."

I'm not bothering to read the article but I will assume two things:
1. Someone(s) racist.
2. This is somehow Trumps fault.
