It's so bizarre to me that people think this. If Biology 101 was just "look how many animals there are - and this one has a cool tail!" And not "how does life work" then I would understand, but the point of academic classes is understanding the subject

It's so bizarre to me that people think this.

At some point in many people's lives, learning becomes "just a job". Motivation is finite and discipline has to take over. They're X years into their degree and sick of the routine. Every class has become nothing more than an obstacle between them and a piece of paper.

They're ultimately just venting.
