A while back our apartment acquired a summer intern. He earned college credit from USC for coming over a few times a month, getting gently caress-off wasted and sweeping up some. We gave him an A+ I think. Smart kid.

My last class in college was a Racism In Media class and we just sat around watching movies and listening to the professor bitch about how he didn't get tenure because of the racist hierarchy. He looked white as gently caress to me but I guess he was part Filipino.

My last semester I had to have 12 hours to keep my scholarship but only needed 9 to graduate so I filled out the last 3 with golf, racquetball and archery College owns I can see the logic behind the NCAA's action here but it's hard to shake the feeling that a Div III program that did the exact same thing wouldn't get away with it

I kinda hope Louisville rehires Jurich and Petino and tells the NCAA to bring it, just to see what will happen.

There was some goon who took jazz appreciation. It was a total bunny and they were just cruising through it. Out of nowhere the professor decided to gently caress them over. She had them listen to 10 different jazz samplings and the students had to identify who played them. Anyway after a review the final was thrown out since no one in the class got a single one right lol

I took a history of jazz class with Cole Aldrich and Jeff Withey, I didn’t know who Withey was at first so I just kept wondering who the new player that was even taller than Aldrich was

I took a night class called "Close Listening" which was technically an English class where we were supposed to write about music. The professor was totally winging it and he missed 1/3 of the classes. I'm pretty sure nobody did worse than a B. We had a dope reading list though. David Byrne's "How Music Works" is fascinating.

I actually took a "Physics of Music" class and it was supposed to be open to non science students but like he gave us these impossible assignments that had nothing to do with the reading, experiments or lectures (which were interesting), even the science types couldn't get their head around and everyone (the class only had 5 people) on them, and they were never graded, and we had a take home final exam that he gave us over Thanksgiving break that I worked 12 hours on and got and still got F. We had this really weird project experience that he left in the middle of (it was not during regular finals time and he gave like a really confusing explanation about having to teach another class because of an emergency), and we had to come back out of class time two hours later (didn't have a car at the time so I couldn't come home). I was mad at that point. The last day of class he gave us a 90 minute lecture on how Global Warming was NOT a consensus (ironically I was also taking a global warming class). But when I looked on my report card, he gave me an A. Anyway the class was really useful to know scientifically that audiophiles are full of poo poo. My first year of college was really aimless and I basically wasted it outside of required classes.

Applying for grad school I'm not even sure what half the classes I tom my freshman year were. Visual imagination? Deconstructing parallel narratives? No wonder my parents hate me. I took communication for business majors in Paris and got a c in it lol.

No joke, for one of my classes, we were given a 1 month free trial to WoW (before the intro levels were free), and had to write 3 page essay on tutorial systems. Game design courses had some weird assignments. I had another course where the entirety of our grade was based on reviewing and creating board games.

Gonna take my games class in the spring on a class trip tour of different arcades so technically they will get some fractional credit for going to Dave and Buster's. They'll earn it by writing though. mastershakeman posted:also re : UNC its extra crazy that they pulled off this argument since they're one of the five public ivies. replace them with uiuc IMO You realize the Public Ivy thing (and there were 8 of them, same as the regular Ivies) was just one guy, right? It's not a technical title or really anything but elitism and marketing.

During Iowa's media day Fran said he's snitched on other teams to the NCAA, which as a firm anti-narc I find incredibly disappointing unless it involved snitching on Illinois, which is one of the proudest Iowa basketball traditions
