I'm sure that the plebeian nature of Target is galling to the elitists. And true, the axe rally would be superfluous, but then isn't it already? If you go to school to please professors and feel all schooly, great. They have lectures for people such as yourself. For students who want to briskly move on to their professions, the plug and play sounds perfect. That PC contraption sure would save a lot of time and money.

It's a little advancement on the plug-and-play method.

If I ace the final and demonstrate mastery, who cares about homework, lectures, and discussion? Is it my responsibility to help out other students by taking part in discussion? No one is paying me for that service. Neither is anyone paying me to do homework or soothe professorial egos by attending their sorry ass lecture. If you can manage the final you win in my class. Tests should be based on lectures and texts. You need not tailor the test to the student response in discussions. This has been my beef from high school through grad school.
