Antiwork

There was one lecturer who maintained his academic rigor and in the end he was sacked after student complained about his “brutal” standard and tough classes. However, we presented the face that we are pretty rigorous institution; so much so that we had to basically forge almost all documents pertaining to our academic rigor (syllabus, quiz and exam questions, even student works were forged). Here's the kicker: the higher-ups…
