College Student's Viral TikTok Gets Final Exam Canceled
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 сен 2024
- College professor Matthew Prince challenged his students to get a TikTok about their class to reach a million views to get their final exam canceled. Sophomore Sylvie Bastardo gave it a shot and within 48 hours it reached viral status. “It was crazy. I really didn't believe that it was going to happen. It wasn't anything that I put effort into,” she told Inside Edition Digital’s Leigh Scheps.

She showed exactly how influencer marketing works. The dumber the idea without any effort leads to the best results.
not wrong…
The professor is just lazy to do a final exam. Even kids can do this. Do you need to go to college just to know how to post tiktok videos.
@@josevladimiraustria2736 then you do it. You've been here for almost 10 years and only have 8 subscribers.
Since it's so easy, do it.
She can buy them these days.. your point is beyond valid…
@@AG-yc7vt Well too bad I'm not a college professor but if I was I'll be more creative than this professor. Fyi my RUclips account is mainly created to watch videos and not to create content to generate subscribers.
All the slackers that needed the final to raise their grade got screwed.
YES!😜that'd be ME!🙄
What most likely happened is the prof. made the final OPTIONAL. It’s happened a handful of times to me throughout my college experience and a couple time I’ve had to take the final despite it being optional to help out my overall gpa
@randomattire1906 All cumulative finals should be optional. If you have worked throughout a semester to get an A average. That alone means you know your stuff.
@@sergiopabon1387 but does it mean that you can accurately recall that information throughout the year? not always
Right
for everyone hating on this, this is a marketing class! This seems like a great way to engage students and provide incentive to apply what they have learned.
It’d make more sense if the individual student got the rewards, not the whole class. It also might not be that rewarding if it’s just a 0/0, since some students may have been relying on the final to boost their grade a bit
Regardless of marketing class or not this has been done throughout many subjects in school in the US. Ive never heard of this ridiculousness anywhere else except here.
@@dahleno2014 turn your brain on
if the teacher also said you can't mention the challenge then it would of been better
No its not
She said she thought it'd never get to a million because of how stupid it was when the first rule of TikTok is: the more stupid the better!
Agree when I went to school I went to the library to find books to study and work for it now they using tik tok for education lmao 🤣 lazy asf
You have no idea what you’re talking about and it’s so funny

The kid that needed to pass with a 100% on the final to not fail is screaming crying and throwing up rn 😂
I mean its a marketing class its basically impossible to fail.
@@drowsy5879 Yea but there’s always that 1 kid
@@caytonhopson3200 if he's about to fail, he's not gonna get a 100% on the final anyway lol
@Robbie👾 you think a kid who has been failing all semester will be able to get a 100 on the final?
@Robbie👾 yea, needs. the kid isn’t guaranteed of the 100 unless they cheat and even then, it’s almost impossible to get a 100 on a final exam
A teacher who actually followed through with their student promise is definitely rare! The students probably love him and perform well.
Makes sense if It's a marketing class.
I wouldn't care if I wasn't relying on the final to makeup grades
@@biellaspointofview2054 damn it’s almost like that’s your fault💀
@@HoloScope yep and so id request to take the optional final then

I thought at first the student did something wrong 💀

He teaches influencer marketing. I swear this world is going down the toilet.
It's a $20 billion industry. I think it's impressive that they do.
@@ncubesays I mean no disrespect to the dude he seems cool, but influencerism as a phenomenon. It's just pure cringe brain degeneracy, but I guess if you're a business or brand it's useful to know you could manufacture a market using paid promoters, and in that way it's no different than other things. Beside traditional marketing tho, I/M definitely has a corny cringeness to it 😅
the US is going down the toilet**
@@Evangelionismmany jobs make you or other people dumb, but influencing gets you lots of money. Influencer is a real job now. You earn a lot, for doing low effort and sometimes dumb things.
Right. Like what use does that have? They're not building anything innovative or useful or saving anyone's life. It doesn't serve society
Tuff for the guys that needed to get they grade up
I didn't have a final exam for my senior design class. It was much worse than a final. Had to work with a group to design and program a fancy livestock feeding system that tracked how much food sheep ate. Had to deliver a working product, 30 page paper and present our results. Learned more from that experience than any other class
Senior Design for engineering students don't ever have a final Exam. Just a final presentation in front of a panel of engineers
Anyone who can successfully market self inflicted diarrhea, is a man that really knows his stuff.
He gave a fun project instead of the boring final exam.. awesome!!
tiktok so fun!!
Yep and we watch our population get dumb3r🤦♂️
@@shanksaltsNo, stop.
@@-TheMaskedMan- It *is* influencer marketing
TikTok is from hell
You already know his RateMyProfessor review gonna skyrocket like crazy
Dude I wish my professors would cancel finals if we did a certain assignment. But in one class everybody is failing so I think we need the final lol.
Maybe she thought it was gonna be boring stupid
So everyone can fail the final too lmao
And people pay to go to college!
Lmao

*"I don't have to grade a final, so win-win, that's good teaching."*
This is when you know social media is now more important to teachers than education!
they’re teaching them marketing…. maybe take some time to look before judging
@@nathan-ls8yw all they did was upload a video
lets be honest? we rarely learn anything from class. like u arent going to use most of the stuff in real life so no lol like for example u arent going to do 15 pages in real life except mabe like certain jobs and even then...
@@Heirloop still considered marketing :) besides the fact that they got to experience a active real world event instead of learning something they’ll never use should be a good thing.
@@nathan-ls8yw guess you missed the part of I’ll let you off your final exam!🤔🙄
As the teacher said. "Now that's Win, Win!" They teach and learn marketing strategy, Had a challenge and succeeded in 48 hrs. being featured on Inside Edition and other news.
This whole comment section is a convo of:
-Why give a student the power to upload a no effort video on TikTok and cancel a whole exam?
-It's a marketing class...
Please stop, you don't even know if she used her marketing knowledge to succeed or not.
1:40 So Sylvia, did this challenge help you learn anything? "like omg, social media is crazy fr, like it has so much power like it's crazy"
lol omg
It was probably an optional final considering that you have students that actually need the final to pass the class, I know when I went to college some professors gave us this option if we had B+ or higher in the class.
Lol, that is actually kind of cool to do that for a class. Also, if she learned skills like that from a class, I wonder what that means for future marketing students?
It doesn't mean anything because the marketing degrees suck. Posting TikToks is trial and error using basic data. They don't teach anything valuable like that in school, and if they do, none of the specifics would hold up over time. I just got my marketing/advertising degree and I learned more from running stat pages on Instagram when I was in high school and reading forums than four years at college. They teach you the bare minimum, like the same information you get from watching a 10 minute RUclips video on marketing. None of my classmates had even ran any social media pages or knew anything and running ads and still didn't even in our senior capstone course. Sorry for the rent but the degree really made me mad once o realized how terrible it was and lack of information they had.
@@Conquered i dont even know any social media besides you talk there and post stuff.
"it wasn't anything I out effort into " yup that sums up tik Tok influencers XD
NGL undergrad tuition is already expensive to begin with so have mixed feelings about this
Glad I majored in stem related degrees
L teacher... L class

This shouldn’t have even been an option.
why not, a lot of classes don't have a final exam. Some teachers believe that your work for the year should be what counts the most, not a random test at the end.
🤨its ridiculous that a school is teaching them such bad lesson in life!(Go viral and all your problems go away!)
its a marketing class the entire point is to teach you how to go viral
its a marketing class😭
Who said their final exam was a problem, and also I'm sure he can calculate their grade without 1 single test. He has homework, projects, assignments, the other tests, to calculate their grade.
Why about people that needed to get their grades up?
The grade will be determined by assignments
Time for TikTok to go
And most of those likes and views were made by bots. Lol
I’m glad he kept his word if that was my teach BOY HOWDEY i would be in detention
whenever you put out a challenge like that everyone will get in touch and will wish the best on them. and this is no wonder for me that got viral.
I did the same thing in my first psychology class. We were told the first project turned in would get extra credit, and I turned my project in first, by months. I was told it would have been a solid A no matter the extra credit…
I guess one student learned something and the others just wasted time and money.
IT WAS A MARKETING CLASS
That sounds about right, for most colleges
Good luck with a education now
Honestly, wouldn’t be surprised if all those views on TikTok were fake.
This is what “college” has become. Wow
you dont learn much from university or college, they make you pay so much a year, by 2028 i can only be in university for 2 years
Well what student did you make better by doing this poor example for the students
It's a marketing class. They were told to make a tiktok about their class.
@@ProGamerKid2000 they all live in moms basement and will never get a job.
Awesome Professor
This is why Tick Tock is getting banned, and as a student I would’ve gone straight to the Dean complaining about my lazy “professor”.
It's a marketing class Kalia 😐
girl it’s not that serious
I want TikTok banned. I heard that TikTok's company, bytedance, literally stealing data.
I guess the "marketing class" went over your head huh
you just heard TikTok and went ballistic not listening to the entire video
i thought this was about that video of that whole class who used chat gpt on an essay😂
Basically they paid thousands for him to teach nothing
Views mean basically nothing on tiktok. Most people just swipe right through.
I'm just here laughing at her last name omfg 💀💀💀
The reporter looks like Millie bobby brown with black hair 😶🌫.
All the old people in the comments pressed 💀
TikTok is destroying humanity.
it was a marketing class :/
TikTok already got banned at my college lol
UF
"Its a marketing class bruh"
People really do spend real money investing in useless college degrees like this? 🤔🤔🤔
They aren't useless as some jobs require getting them. What is messed up is that they make them way too expensive.
@@Lennyst Yeah, by 2028 is when i go to university, price gonna be to from now, 5500 to 10000, great
Marketing isn'tuseless, it's the reason you use social media today.
Dear Professor Prince,
Pleeease bring back the Verde sauce packets!! 🙏🏼💚
College means nothing. I can’t believe people pay so much just for stupid stuff like this happen.
What if you needed the grade 😂
Man, the amount of absolute bird brain comments in here is insane. "What if they needed the final to pass!?" Bruh, if you're failing the class and need the final to pass...what makes you think you're gonna magically pass the final when you couldn't pass the easier exams? Like what?? People be overestimating their intelligence when all the evidence points to them being the dull crayon in the box. Also, the amount of people like "I'd be upset if I was paying for college classes like this and this is what happens!" Like hello??? You still need to do all the work in the class minus the final exam?? Should the whole class get the A? Nah. I think maybe only those directly involved in the Tiktok should be exempt from the final exam and hopefully the professor adjusts it to something like that in the future but his class, his rules. As long as the college/university supports this method of his, then he can have at it. Guarantee you this gets more kids interested and signing up for the course!
Dumbest efforts create the stupidest marketing. Tik Tok shouldn’t be implemented in schools, period.
It’s not
I’m glad TikTok is getting banned soon, rotting all these teenagers brains
Wish it was banned a long time ago.
I just wish not many people were obsessed over with it. Back in 2017. It's not rotting all teenagers brains but always helpful with getting some exercises in when people actually do the dances after a long day in classes and r work.
WTF is wrong with our teenagers to give that video 4M views.
This is why they're banning tiktok
Ban tik tok people: "Perhaps I treated you too harshly."
Nope I still think it should be banned lmao
I wonder if China or Russia would cancel their exam if a teacher did this, or if the school would cancel the teacher?
Wow what a cool professor, where I grew up my teachers would do similar things and make unrealistic goals but whenever a student actually did it the teacher would laugh and go back on their word everytime.
I hope the prof gave the girl an A+ in the course for hitting that number.
Oh I'm sure he gave her something else
"It wasn't anything that I put effort to" which is exactly why it blew up lol. The less effort the better. There's a super viral TikTok of a tangerine slice picture at different angles lol.
Only in the US would this be a possible alternative lmfao.
Things I really dislike about the assignment this professor gave:
So not only they made it a real joke about putting this and canceling the finals by an assignment that was practically no efforts even in Marketing class, this is just real lazy. Imagine paying $100,000 tuition just to get into college only for the finale to be something that contradicts everything you've just worked for and studied for.
Another thing, they used TIKTOK as an example, so you're telling me, a marketing class that bases around the study of analyzes and advertising, used the one of the most basic analytic algorithm ever out of all social media platforms, why not Instagram or RUclips those uses more complexity of analytics and add challenges to get popularity.
Using RUclips as an example would have been better as it has REAL analyzes data and calculations available in video-editor pages, and also has advertising systems and promotions as well, all stuff of an student learned can apply into RUclips and make a great video or advertising THIS would have been more beneficial and well contributes to the subject of Marketing. It literally has real commercial use, AVAILABLE.
(Way better than some stupid short lazily made video), and yet they used TikToke as an example...
Also canceling finals seriously?? I swear education or setting examples is seriously either not valued or not done correctly, people don't do take it seriously anymore.
What's even the reason of studying at this point.
The US school system is ridiculous.
and an ivy league degree from the US would put people ahead for almost any job worldwide. (And as someone who holds that degree, I know a lot of people who have one, who... know nothing about nothing, and they will get most jobs before any one without one of those degrees can even come close)
Not hating on anyone but this is a feel good story in the modern day that honestly shows what young watch and normally is just a short clip with a pop song
That mediocre professor must be fired
I BET THE SMART KIDS COMPLAINED BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T GET TO TAKE THEIR FINAL EXAM!
Now...he tried to save it with "in 48 hours" but it's the way he said "I didn't expect SYlvie to do it..." for me
what about the students that needed the final ??
They just started the semester
Oh She Was Lucky For Sure 😂😂
Reverse engineering: If the AI suggests a video clip that says it's trending, then it's a trend too... no matter what it's about. It used to be called a self-fulfilling prophecy.
MeanWhile in England, TIKTOK BANNED
Don’t translate her last name into italian!!!!
Whoever hates the damn Chinese TikTok app, please be with me
I do but totally I respect India for banning the app in their country.
This is the education you paid for.
I miss the 90’s
As someone born in 2003 , same
As someone born in 2004, I agree. I would do anything just to experience living in that time.
@@veeloet5784 As much as I hate getting older I’m glad I did, I wish you could have to. No drama No social media no “influencers” no school shootings every week no cell phones really people cares for each other and respected each other. A lot less weirdos lol, music was awesome, movies and tv shows were awesome. You didn’t have 642 friends on Facebook but the friends you had were real!!
I just miss the 70s and the 80s (coming from a gen'z btw)
So what have they learned from the class itself? That's the point. Not just getting the final cancelled
Terrible example by the “teacher”
He wants to be popular!..I hate teachers like this..want to be in with the kids!😂..one of ours turned up at a club and tried dancing in our group!😜SO lame
The teacher is probably a narcissist feeding off of the views on tiktok. I can’t believe what the society has become lol
At least when I was in college the professor offered us a 5 minutes window (it was used in last 5 minutes of final) of looking at notes during final, if we all donated food that would go to a family that we brought to our professor. at least it not only did some actual good, but also we still had to study for test.
@@Swansong321 they're trying their best to understand you and fit in. Instead of being judgmental and toxic, why not check yourself for issues? If you don't find any, locate the nearest therapist because you've lost touch with reality
@@zuki9537 why would a teacher need to fit in? They should be a role model, or at the very least, not easily influenced and seeking the approval of teenagers. You're the one who needs a reality check to rid yourself of your delusions

She has a crush on her teacher I can see in her eyes.
Imagine getting rewarded for doing nothing.
Defund the fckn internet

Why does tik tok have so much influence it's a lot of stuff shouldn't be on there at all and some of the stuff isn't even true .So social media runs the world now smdh your promoting kids to use tik tok why ??
Cause that's how marketing works, you need influence
You should’ve set the standard to 1 BILLION views!
Imagine teaching “influencer marketing”
i wish that applied to every assignment
In what way is this cool or acceptable? Good luck to employers who hire grade a students from teachers like this.
No employer asks you what you got on your final exam, now you're doing to much. A lot of high paying jobs train you for the job.
"I don't have to grade the finals... so, win win".
Um no that's not good teaching.

What a joke doesn't matter if it is a marketing class or not a final is a final, no wonder why my generation is going downhill .
And you wonder why TikTok is going to be banned.
It's not tiktoks fault lmao.Thats like saying ban McDonald's because a man bought a McDonald's Burger and put poison in it to poison somebody

What about the school board
Why ensure your students depth of knowledge and understand when you can just go ViRaL!?!
