Like academics are merely measured over grades... hopeless.
Grades are a reflection of pursuance of academics. Learning can occur without judgment (i.e. grades), but insisting one without the other is like a pothead shunning school because his ideas are too deep.

I agree grades are a legit way to measure some degree of competence (pragmatic, non-perfect) both in learning and skill terms, but they aren't an integral reflection of academic merits, their power to reflect true competence in certain area is quite limited. They won't put in exercise any personal contribution (be it on theoretical or experimental terms) to the subject in study like you'd do by merits participating in papers with concrete ideas (no matter of deepness, i think team group, good pertinent data or coherent mathematical descriptions for natural science cases), even when you're not being put a grade for it, nor they'll normalize the mean of such a number so its meaning will be understood by external observants. Not to mention the ridiculous amount of copying that frequents to happen specially on an era when students have no shame on making 50-member WhatsApp groups to copy during exams while teachers won't give that many fucks as long as isn't too obvious.

Failed researchers who were raised to answer nothing else but exams instead of real problems, used to get nice means in their undergrad studies aren't something unheard of, as well.

It's not like I think there should be a whole reform about grades, but that those on their own won't tell you coherent, meaningful information about the academic quality of the person in question.

Wait... people do that? Is it like 14 year olds who do that or people older than that? If it's 14yr olds I slightly understand because let's be honest 14 yr olds are just like that sometimes but it's even weirder if the people doing that are older than like 15/16.

I see no problem with it. If someone's putting up his grades on HIS profile, let him. It's his profile. People put up their club cards, banners and whatnot- at least putting up your grades will let other people know you're not dumb.

If you're salty because someone else puts up his grades on MAL then it probably means your grades aren't good enough to to be displayed publicly.


I am yet to see you displaying your grades publicly on an animelist website. Does this mean your grades aren't good enough as well? Your logic is absolutely flawed and just in turn makes you a hypocrite.

It's obvious that the motivation someone would have to put their grade evaluations up on an animelist site would be to demonstrate to the group of the myanimelist community that they are not stupid. In any case, why might they need to demonstrate that? Obviously..because they are deemed to be stupid by the Myanimelist community.

Please put some thought into the things before you decide to post them, 2-methyl...


That's simply because people would hardly understand the grading system of my country.
Well, if everyone on here is from Britain then I might give it a thought.

But this is common sense, OP, don't you think by making a big deal of it that you're giving people a chance to wind you up? People don't have to be making a serious statement by putting the grades up. Obviously Katsu's proud of those good grades, but it's also probably just trollbait for people dense enough to take it too seriously.


Lol read his posts. He's not trolling.


Well, he can come off as a bit rhetorical on here and people can find it amusing to provoke him because of that, but I don't think he's as full of himself as you're making him out to be.

Just because you have good grades does not mean you're not an idiot. He could be against gay marriage for all we know.

Due to the universal nature of grade, the competitive aspect, the privateness expected of such a thing, it's a logical conclusion to say he's doing it to feel superior. It's a simple matter of don't ask, don't tell.

Well it's your choice to put whatever you want in your profile. But I guess putting up your grades does feel like your just showing off.

That is an extremely dull and nullified excuse.
Uh? Oh right. Please do and take your time.

Uh what? What has this got to do with you? You make no sense. I can only just assume you didn't comprehend anything of what 2-methyl or I have typed.

No one here is being salty.

I, for one, was very impressed with Katsucats academic achievements and was grateful to him for sharing them with us.

Locked.

Sorry for the delay guys.

Couple of points:
We have PMs, profile comments, use it.
The continued drama between two specific users and dragging it on Casual Discussion is frankly, ridiculous. I apologize in advance for not seeing this as I initially skimmed the title and thought it was about how people rate anime. The dumpster it goes.
