    I hope students sue the school for failing to provide the bare minimum to them. Trump University presumably doesn't make students grade themselves. The for-profit schools that advertise on late night TV at least pay someone with a degree to look over what the students submit. This would be as disruptive to my education as COVID was and those consequences would continue in the classes which utilise information from these.

      Grading yourself is also extra work, time commitment and opportunity cost for no benefit - you could've studied for an upcoming exam or do other assignments instead. Not to mention that this is literally forcing students to scab their TAs
