academic masturbation

When a professor assigns an article in which they are cited for the sole reason of reminding students how much they know. It can be one citation or ten, if they're referenced, you're reading it for class.

A: Did you read those articles for class today?
B: Yeah. Professor Smith was referenced in three of them. Total act of academic masturbation on his part.

Academic Bulimia 

The act of cramming a large amount of information into memory over a short period of time and then regurgitating the memorized information onto a test. Just as the bulimic retains very few nutrients from the food he or she purges, shortly after the exam an academic bulimic retains very little memory of the regurgitated information.

Academic Bulimia is a form of Bulimia. Instead of binging and purging food, the Academic Bulimic binges and purges information.
