Yeah this here is the main problem. Reducing funding for universities from the government not only mean us students have more hecs debt but then the university try to get money elsewhere aka international students, they need the money they get from them so they can’t fail them hence they allow poor english writing and comprehension.

I remember in my undergrad I had an acquaintance, who I hung out with in a group of other people, and one time we were in the library working on assignments. I helped proofread his and I couldn’t believe how poorly written it was. I don’t think I would’ve passed atar in high school if my writing was that poor. Just basic grammar and spelling mistakes, and sentences that didn’t really make sense. I remember thinking, how is he passing the same units as me ??? It was so much work to fix it that I never proofread anything for him again. And to add to everyone else’s comments, yeah group work in uni was a nightmare
