I find this really sad. I do congratulate the students that managed to figure out the system and game them (they will go far!), but using this keyword salad grading thing is totally missing the point of education.

I came from a third world country where the "education system" is basically just a series of tests on memorization and conformance, and I'm hoping I would never see a system like that ever again.

2x2 is 4... sorry third world you say?

The correct answer is "2+2 is 4"

Your score: 0/1

When you’re given a philosophy-related task, whether it’d be reading and reviewing or a dissertation… the professor expects your response to be exactly xyz or else you’re penalized.

So yeah, third world :).
