The Business/MIS curriculum at Tech was a bit of a mixed bag, depending on the instructor you got. The classes I learned a lot in, like Finance, Accounting I, Marketing, Business Law, and IT Projects, had demanding and reasonably engaging instructors. However a few of the classes I took and was simply able to coast through left something to be desired with regards to the quality of instruction. Regardless, I somehow got lucky and managed to get most of the good ones.

According to my friends in the ENG department, the same was true for them. There were easy profs whose classes you could more or less coast through, good profs who actually tried to teach you stuff, and boring, senile profs to be avoided at all costs.

Ha. We only had one set of instructors (profs) in grad school. NO slacking there. Syllibus for the main course was about an inch thick for the semster and almost all a bibliography of articles we had to read after paying mucho bucks for the texts. The pathophys guy was so crazy my class got him removed (the work load he required was huge and he frequently tested on stuff he hadn't assigned- how he found something he hadn't asigned I'll never know). Thesis'/Research report in my case was design a research tool, administer it after getting it cleared thru various boards because it involved patients, analyzing the data and then writing it. We also walked uphill both ways to get to class. :p I did this all while getting married in between the 2 yrs. After that just about anything was a cake walk.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!! terrible tuesday is here.

Morning Lodge.

16 credits is average workload for an engineer at Michigan. 12 credits to be a full time student, and 18 is the max before you need permission (I think). I came in with some AP credits and took econ at community college and got through in 8 semesters of schoolwork, never taking less than 15 credits.

My worst semester was 17 credits, 3 bands and grading for a class.

FWIW, I took a total of 129 credits in 8 semesters, way back when. The 4-credit courses were all in my freshman and sophomore years. Junior and senior years were 15 credits per semester.

Morning Lodge from a soggy Minneapolis.

Monsoon outside my Apt today as I left to catch the bus. Not fun! :(

Leaving work early today as the company is having an event and then a Happy Hour after work for a co-worker. :D

that woke me up at about 4:00 down in Farm town. It sucked. I would have liked the sleep.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 81: Trickle-Down Lodganomics

Where I went to school it was generally one class equalled one credit. I think some of the art classes were half a credit and PE classes were a quarter credit.

'Morning, Lodge.

Credit hours aren't created equal. In my final year of school, I think I had 13 cr one semester and 14 cr the other semester - because they completely underrated the credit hours for my courses. Between the lectures and labs, I was in class over 20 hours per week and studying my *** off. Then there was the whole clinical rotation bit where it's basically like having a full time job, only you don't get paid and your credit load is too low to qualify for much financial aid. :rolleyes:

Oh, and for those who were non-science majors, I will point out that there are these things called "lab reports" - when I was a chem major, I had to write those *'ing things for every lab I did, and they were often pushing 10 pages and were done weekly. So no, science majors don't escape writing requirements.

Your clinic rotation sounds like my student teaching, only it was set up so we'd still be full time students (11 credits for the teaching practicum, 1 credit for the 4 seminars we had to attend throughout the semester). 50+ work weeks unpaid, plus 20 on the weekends of my outside job so I could pay bills. Hardest 12 credit semester ever. I also independent studied 12 credits while working full time as a long term sub the semester before that, then the semester before that, I had 19.5 credits (9 of which were education methods classes that required a certain weekly amount of field experience at Marquette Senior High), 2 jobs, and marching band.

I have often wondered what the net effect of having PCs and the Internet would have been to my college grades. I suspect that it would have averaged out be neutral.

While, I would have wasted time surfing and posting, it would have been to a degree at the expense of other time-wasting activities. Also, word processors would have made the writing of anything much simpler for me, as I recall having to retype everything numerous times when I thought of something that should have gone in earlier in a paper. (I never believed in outlines. :) )

Morning, kids! Got three loads of laundry and a load of dishes done last night. Did some unpacking as well. Things are starting to come together in the new place. The one thing I haven't gotten used to yet is the garbage pick up schedule. At the old place we had a dumpster out back and you just dumped it in whenever, now I have to remember that Tuesdsay is garbage day and the stuff has to be on the curb by 7:30.

Me too! Though I think I would have preferred it the other way around. :)

I have one of my headaches today. :( Took some aspirin, feel a little better. My clients are both out today. Maybe I can leave early.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 81: Trickle-Down Lodganomics

turned in my keys to the school... I know I haven't liked UConn but I don't like leaving people... I suppose nobody does but it seems silly that you have to leave it all behind.
