Of all the things I'm worried about, it's not my grades, my rapidly/already lovely financial situation, or my incessant drug use. No, the one thing I'm worried about is whether or not my girlfriend is giving an enthusiastic "YES" before I put my dipstick in her. Thanks college, for getting those priorities straight.

At least I got free condoms for listening to a skinny lesbian chick berate a crowd of mostly dudes about consent for thirty minutes .

ToxicSlurpee posted:One other thing about public speaking is that relying very heavily on notecards looks very, very bad. It can be handy to have a notecard or two to remind you of what order you want to say stuff in, especially for a long speech, or to jot down numbers you can't seem to remember, but don't outline your whole speech and stare at your cards the entire time. It makes you look like you're terrified of the audience. But I am terrified

Nope, poli sci sucks poo poo. It's not the professors' or even the discipline's fault, it's all the loving shitheads that sign up for it smugly because they have IMPORTANT THINGS TO SAY ABOUT POLITICS. You can avoid them for a while by sticking with stats, theory, or law, but it's way easier to just change your major to stats, philosophy, or pre-law and avoid all the goobers.

Poli sci is where everyone goes so they can get better at proving their opinions right instead of learning things that could cause them to have better opinions.

Justin Godscock posted:It really depends if That Guy is in your class, I found. I had a That Guy who responded to the professor mentioning illegal immigration as a diversion issue during campaigns by going on a five minute ramble about illegal immigration policy. He was That Guy for the entire department, it was kind of funny. No one knew his name, but every single poli sci student knew who you meant when you talked about them, and it wasn't a small department by any means.

I am beyond done with this bullshit. God, I would have been so hosed. I did best in the classes I never went to because of lovely professors, like Ethics and Organic Chemistry. Now that I think about it, I feel like something is wrong with never going to Ethics and pulling an A-.

I think at one stage one of the unis in my city tried have a swipe on attendance system. It took less then a week to degenerate into one guy swiping 20 student ID cards at the door, which meant the lecturer had to take attendance manually anyway, so it didn't last long.

There were only a few classes at my colelge that had electronic attendance systems. These were usually the massive 100-200 people lectures, and it worked by everyone keying in a code on those electronic answering remotes and thus "signing in" to the class to answer lecture questions. Worked pretty drat well from what I saw.

My uni's been affected by heartbleed and blackboard and the wifi have been up and down intermittently since last wednesday / thursday It's the last week of semester before mid-semester break this week too. Thank gently caress all my assignments were due in before the majority of the problems started happening. Thank christ I've heard from most people that their lecturers have been handing out extensions like candy, though, which is good.

It took less then a week to degenerate into one guy swiping 20 student ID cards at the door, which meant the lecturer had to take attendance manually anyway, so it didn't last long. There's an old story about a student who had to miss class for some reason, so he arranged to leave a tape decider running in class to record the lecture. He found this so convenient that he eventually stopped attending class and just came to pick up and drop off his recorder. Other students decided to get in on this and began to coping him. Eventually in was just an empty class and one very annoyed professor. He didn't see why he had to keep showing up to talk to an empty room so he started making his own tapes. so the end result was one tape recorder lecturing to a class of other tape recorders.

The one day I actually prepared for class, the teacher showed up just to cancel class. It was my only class of the day. I could have been sleeping. I just paid $8.50 for a glass of water. $17 if you count that I bought my boyfriend into the dining hall, but he hasn't touched anything at all. Why is it so hard to play a cafeteria menu that doesn't revolve around gravy?

My cafeteria food groups are pizza, some sort of under/overcooked chewy poo poo, fried stuff from the grill that's pretty good. 8.50 for water is highway loving robbery. That'd had better be the best glass of water you literally ever drank.

Is it $8.50 to just use the dining hall, or is water actually priced that loving high? Because that's the one thing that's totally free here!
