It's far from "appeasing".
My main projects last semester were 1. how to end the War on Drugs, and 2. why we need to control the global population in order to pose less of a threat to already threatened and endangered species - whether they be animals or plants.
Needless to say, I'm not the most popular person doing this course. They want hardcore leftists crying about socio-economic disparities around the world. Sure, I care about that kind of thing, but I'm of the impression that it's already covered. Let me look at other things.
While this essay isn't the first time I've had to not give a fuck and just pump out whatever, I don't see it as selling myself or my beliefs out. I'm capable of writing well enough to make the marker realise that what I've written is merely "ticking the boxes" - and if it's a subject I care very little for, I don't see the harm.
University education, just like everything in life, comes down to how good your non-literal blowjob-giving skills are.
Mine are fair to excellent. Somewhere in between.
