Academic Weapon

That one essay based student with a traumatic villain origin story that is either really straight or really fruity, probably the latter because the best ones tend to study English. They usually have a bunch of younger siblings and/or cousins they have to look after and explain stuff to, but they somehow still get killer grades and a shoutout in every assembly for giving off teacher vibes.

Eleni in my English class is an academic weapon.

Wait, nobody mentioned the academic weapon in assembly...did something happen?

academic sponge

Someone who soaks up information but never really understands it. Information is squeezed out at the end of term.

Most students these days are academic sponge's.

Academic Support

1. A stupid middle-school class full of slightly below-average kids who really need time to do their homework not some long-ass explanation.
2. The nice word for "Sped School"

Person 1: Yo, bro, wha'chu got next period?
Person 2: Academic Support.

Academic Comeback

When you have a low grade at the start/middle of a term or semester but get it high at the end

Jerry: Holy shit Mark, you have an F in this class, you can't stay in honor roll.

Mark: Don't worry I'm an academic comeback specialist

Jerry: How is your grade after that exam?

Mark: Went from a 34% to an 81%, told you I'm an academic comeback master

academic parachuting

when academic groups come in to do community outreach in an attempt to rescue or save impoverished communities however the work is considered lack luster or has not real value to the intended community only the value is perceived by the academics.

We are tired of universities coming in and preforming academic parachuting with no lasting impact.

Academic Comeback

An academic comeback refers to a student's significant improvement or recovery in their academic performance after a period of poor grades, struggles, or setbacks. It often involves renewed focus, better study habits, and overcoming obstacles such as failing grades, personal challenges, or academic probation.

After failing his first year of college, Jake made an impressive academic comeback by improving his study habits and earning straight A’s the following semester

Academic Sludge

1. Unnecessary or useless busy work from university requirements.

2. Work related to something useful but is too high in volume.

3. Useless "academic" or "journalistic" writings, such as:
"What pronouns for Pepper? A Critical Review of Gender/ing in Research" by Katie Seaborn.

"Why climate change is inherently racist" by Jeremy Williams

1. "Why are you in Mongolian throat singing? I thought you were an engineer; isn't that just academic sludge?" "The university requires five art credits to graduate."

2. "Bro, are you done with the homework for Chemistry? The Prof gave us an entire Packet with 50 questions!" "Yes, but at that point, it's just academic sludge."

3. "Did you finish annotating the English excerpt about racist mountain names?" "No, I'm not reading that academic sludge"
