Be advised: UTEP is a so-called university designed for ill-prepared, indolent people, who want a degree without making the effort to get it.Most students are incapable (I am not exaggerating here) of writing simple, basic Sentences, either in English or in Spanish.Most students are professional cheaters, and they cheat on exams and assignments in collusion with the administration, who tends to favor academic dishonesty with low, or non-existent punishments. In several classes I was doing the homework and studying hard, only to find out at the end that other people, who had never showed up to class or did the homework, cheated, got a grade better than I did and got away with it.A UTEP student main concern is the way in which he/she will lie to get away with studying, and the faculty and administrations condone this line of conduct.Standards are very low and very little is expected from the students, to the extent that I did not feel I learned much from the many classes I have taken (tough my GPA is 3.92)Grade inflation, on the other hand, is outrageous at UTEP: in order to get good student evaluations, faculty give away grades demagogically, so that students tend to expect an A for just sitting in class. This phenomenon reaches disgusting proportions in some departments, such as the Department of Education and the College of Liberal Arts.Now in the job market, I realize that the mere mention of UTEP in my transcript elicits scorn from my potential employers.UTEP is a place in which the administrators are making a living out of giving away degrees to almost illiterate people, who neither want, nor are prepared to work hard for their education. So, beware, : It is extremely easy to get in, but the consequences will haunt you for ever.
