my impressions of the incoming class[views:1471][posts:16]_____________________________________ [Sep 1,2008 8:23pm - the_reverend ""] it's the first day back for college students at the university of new hampshire. im not saying that UNH attracts the beautiful and the bold, but man. I must be getting old. all of their clothing is stupid and they are all ugh-ly as fuck. it's like someone went to the isle of misfit toys, gave them cellphones, white hats and pj pants and sent them off to college. they walk in packs all talking on their celis. college ain't like it was in a rodney dangerfeld move that's for sure. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 1,2008 8:30pm - the_reverend ""] they also have the charming accent of a deaf person. this school's busted |

A college degree is next to worthless because: (a) Grade inflation (b) Affirmative action (c) Politicized education (d) Tolerance of stupidity They've devalued the degrees by accepting all sorts of stupid behavior instead of rejecting it and grading harder. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 1,2008 10:22pm - Hungtableed ""] A college degree gets me a $2,000 bonus every October. That's more than what I pay a year in college loans....but, however..of coarse...well, my degree didn't get me my job. :moe: :wiggam: |
| ______________________________________________ [Sep 1,2008 10:30pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] I had an awesome professor open a course with "You are all products of grade inflation and a university that treats your degree as a commodity rather than an honor. If you can't do the work I have no problem giving you an F" Of course his ratemyprofessors profile is filled with all sorts of inane bitching about how he gave the spoiled children an F and told them they must have an undiagnosed learning disability. |

I loved professors like that. I had this one broad who was like 75. She looked worse than my great-grandmothers dried up decomposing corpse and was one of the hardest fucking graders ever. People use to get pissed at me when the majority of the class got D's and I got A's. took out my report card, all F's...took it to the teacher said throw some throw some D's on it. Hahahahaha |

I would travel great distances to shake this man's hand. |

Rediculousness. Reading the way you spell a form of 'ridiculous' hurt each and every part of me. Stop it now. |

He now teaches at uconn, and I took a couple of classes with him. To say that he's got his own teaching style would be an understatement...I loved him, but in each of the classes I took with him, somebody left at the end of the first session and told him flat-out that they could never deal with his...eccentricities. he's pretty much the only teacher I've ever had who told the kids his realistic viewpoint, that most of us would never make anything out of our lives. |
