This class would super irritate me, mainly because I feel I already put in about 20 hours a week doing this exact thing. I would find it far more interesting if this article discusses what (if anything) these students will be expected to produce - a live stream of their clicks can't be it, surely? Because otherwise this class irritates me because of what an easy A it would be, at the school i would love to get into for grad school if only it wasn't for their university-wide mandate that all graduate students have a 3.5 undergrad gpa.

I mean, come on, let me in - I'm already excelling at the coursework, apparently.
