Hmm. You kinda get the crown handed to you for doing it. But I get what you're saying.

Isn't a tenured position the real crown in academia? I feel like successfully defending your dissertation is more like becoming a little prince or something.

Fair enough. Yes, I'd say this is the whole picture.

55% is a passing grade. I don't need no Cum Laude.

Undergraduate me: GIVE ME THE CUM LAUDE

Post-grad me: Please sir, I just want the fancy piece of paper.

Good advice, but is this a meme?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

It is, if you've driven yourself mad during the process

I treated every undergrad paper like a dissertation. Didn't work out all that well. My grades were excellent, though.
