red930 Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 I'm getting ready to go home from work and kick back with one 24oz can o beer while playing a little bit of TDR 2000. Nothing like some pedestrian run-overs to ease the stresses of the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knew a piece of paper could cost so much. you are getting something, a gold ticket to get you into bigger and better places. seems costly now, but it will payoff, trust me, keep with it! Just add a little Benny Hill every now and again! @Ace: lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

momma Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 I know Cpuz, but it still doesn't make me feel better. I am grateful though that I have the opportunity to go and not have to work though, it makes it so nice that AG volunteers himself to be the workerbee . And Thunda, I don't think there would be enough money to bribe AG out of letting me quit college. He's a slave driver! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 I got so fed up with college professors acting like they were the king of the world because they could send a teaching assistant to teach the class while they stayed in the office. In one semester I had a professor teach exactly 12 hours with the balance of the class time instructed by the TA's. The Student Government Association petitioned the Chancellor to set a minimum of 80% in class instruction. It took a further two semesters but they finally gave in. Don't let the learning get the best of you. The primary benefit of a college diploma is proof that you have the ability to learn. That's what makes you valuable to most employers.

momma Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Exactly and I know that, it just gets to be a pain in the you know what sometimes . I also benefit from the fact that Boise State is a relatively small university so I get easy access to all the professors. I have yet to take any college course taught by a TA.

red930 Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 That's the exact reason I wish I had gone to a smaller school. That one-on-one contact is more like what you get when you find the right job and people really work together. Exactly and I know that, it just gets to be a pain in the you know what sometimes .

I'm not boasting , just reporting that i NEVER had any such thing as a TA. Of course, it was a private school though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Large schools tend to lean towards the impersonal. My classes at MIT were always small. One Geography lecture class at LSU had over 200 students. It was a 100 level class but jeez it was huge. Things got better in the Honors Collegium. My biggest class was 18 I believe. never had this issue at LaSalle. I'm not boasting , just reporting that i NEVER had any such thing as a TA. Of course, it was a private school though.
