A Indiana University professor is trading grades for XP inspired by WoW.

Interesting idea, what ever motivates them to learn.

University? ... what the heck do you learn from university? nothing at all! so i don't see how this is going to make people dumb

Level 100 bitch!

I got dat double XP!

My mom would be so proud...

It's all fun and games until chinese farmers come around promising power levelling.

When I first read the title I thought a professor was giving out A's for people power leveling his character or something.

After reading the story, I thought of this:

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."

You can dress it up however you like. Homework is still homework. Exams are still exams. Students aren't retarded.

I now have an excuse for sleeping in class

"Just building up rested experience"

Dear god that is lame.
