The rubber stamp system is in effect.....in the 1st week, Ive had to read and comment on essays of my "classmates" and I have discovered that if my 8 year old daughter had written any of these essays for her 3rd grade class, I would have made her re-write it....some of them are beyond pitiful and the professor has been giving full credit even when its a joke....1 week in, already disgusted....
