Why are these college course assignments not supervised?

edit

I have come across far too many poorly written, badly structured articles produced by college students working on course assignments from their professor. They usually have telltale hallmarks - and this was one of the worst I've come across.

First I dealt with an oddly clunky passage. Then I removed a entire short section that was created for a single sentence which alluded to into that had already been covered. I was starting to wonder, when I saw a very long, rambling paragraph - and then I knew it must be another college course assignment. Sure enough, I was right. So instead of wasting my time on that long, rambling paragraph, I inserted the following section heading:

"Another rambling section added by unsupervised college students".

And I haven't even mentioned the overlapping jumble of sources that are listed in 3 different sections - Bibliography, References, and External links - none of which has the proper section heading of "Sources". I am leaving that mess for somebody else to sort out.

I don't mind cleaning up writing in articles that need a bit of help - I do it all the time. But something needs to change with the way these college course assignments are handled.
