Also, I don't cheat and most of the university staff knows me from the past (I was a vice-president of a scientific group for 3 years or so) and most of them likes me so they let me undertake crazy things like that. It's more about showing them that you're interested in the subject and you have more knowledge on the matter than is required during the classes, be active and such. They remember you for that and are more inclined to give you extensions on some terms etc. if they know you can do it and trust you if you tell them that you couldn't do something on time due to whatever reasons. There's a couple of people on my year who always get the highest grades but they're "invisible" and professors don't remember them (so they're now trapped because they really don't have any leverage when they want to extend their terms etc.). | ||

And to the guy above me: It's community colleges that are the best in Poland (studying is free). Private sector doesn't even come close. Edit: Not to mention that sociology is rather easy after 3 years of philosophy and history. hah youre wrong, community college isnt like a uni, its like those "technical(or secondary) education" schools that you have. You cant even get bachelors degree if you graduated from community college. | ||

I dont know if its sillier anywhere else( not counting africa and some asian parts of russia and surroundings) Unless its a top notch state school or a famous uni you can basically do what manitou did and still succeed. Its simply atrocious. Funny part every eastern european thinks that their education is far superior to european/american. Theres barely any tests, no midterms, nothing. You basically go to the lectures where professor cares to check the list, skip everything else, prepare for 1-2 days for the finals and youre golden. Then reset your memory and proceed to the next one. You can do that on famous/best state universities too (I've got a lot of friends who did). After all, it's not about attending classes and other bullshit like that but more about your knowledge. If your knowledge of the subject is fine no exam can be possibly hard. Take for example statistics and probability course, it's one of the hardest during this semester (and people are failing it hard) yet I already did that in the past so I just read a bit about it in my free time instead of going to the classes and just show up during the midterms and tests and the professor has nothing against it since I do fine on this tests. I'm not saying you can do that with every course... There are some that you really want/need to attend as much as you can and learn for the whole semester to pass it. Similar situation is with most courses at medical university, but that doesn't concern me since I'm a humanist and if I can abuse the system to my advantage, I will. Edit: To the guy above me. Sorry then. It seems I confused community college with state university  | ||

what kind of "university" (link pls) is that where you can just enter a room after people went out from writing an exam/test/whatever (first lol) and just say "hi i wanna do that test too, only 5 minutes left? np" (second lol) and the prof is like "oh yeah cool buddy np, sit down, here you go, lets talk about this while everybody is trying to concentrate" i hope this is a fake if not, seriously there is something wrong with you and your "university" oh i have no idea when the final exam takes place, oh i just walk in and do it in 5 instead of 30 minutes and of top of that even get a very good result yeah w/e | ||

Well, I still have to go and individually show the professor that I have the knowledge from all the classes I was absent (90% of them in this case). Passing the final test doesn't automatically mean that I have passed the entire course and I won't get my final grade until I do. | ||

any sort of humanities exam at my school takes at least an hour to write, probably closer to 90 min. how can you even show your knowledge in 5 minutes, even if you knew the material extremely well? you said it's a final, which in the US would be somewhere around a 10 page exam. | ||
