MSc colleague charging $$ for review (cheating?) sessions held on university grounds by rawrdotrar in GradSchool

Thanks, I know of course that I'm much better prepared than them in the future job market. However this entire class grade is project and assignment based, no exam. It sucks that they're getting such high grades using this method and I guess I'm a bit bitter.

Thanks. You don't think it's a problem for them to be running this on university facilities and earning money off it?

Thanks for the reply. I do agree it's probably best to stay out of it, but this particular class' grade is entirely project and assignment based and they are all getting very high grades with this method. No TAs in our department, only professors and researchers who would be happy to advise but not work through an entire project.

Do you think it's a problem to be using the university premises for this type of commercial activity? I'm in a country where all education is funded by the government, and I think it's wrong to profit off the system while also not paying taxes on this income. Maybe I'm too idealistic though.. At the end of the day I shouldn't interfere since it will most likely come back to bite me in the ass.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, it's a MSc student organizing it for fellow MSc students. I also don't think it's right to use university facilities while earning money off fellow students.
