how do you do that ... posting a video thing? El Guatalupues
A birthday caking video :D
i'd post some pictures... but i'm lazy -_-
i'm not good at establishing relationships w/ my professors :(
but i've managed to get Dr. Stivachtis to like me :D :D he think's i'm strange though ... i can just tell :x
yesterday there was a protest b/c Prof. Clement wasn't offered tenure here
students gathered at Major Williams and then marched on Burress
Prof. Clement is known for being a passionate, opinionated prof
that is very good at passing knowledge onto his students
I tried to get him at the start of this semester but couldn't b/c he would only force add graduating seniors
there are like 10 pepople standing around the room b/c all the seat were filled - everyone trying to get into his class
Many thought he wasn't offered tenure b/c he's black
some said it's b/c he's too politically active therefore too contriversal
The college claims that he didn't publish enough
To receive tenure a prof must be able to establish a nationwide reputation for himself
as a research university it is more important for peo. to publish than to teach
i dont' think we'll ever know all the crazy politics that were played w/in the PSCI deparment
but it's a shame
because the school is loosing one of the best teachers in the depart :(
as much as i <3 tech it's kind of... exhasperating
this RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH over teaching emphasis
students stroke the tutition checks in hopes of becoming educated
i don't care what kind of reputation a prof has
if he can't teach then he CAN'T TEACH gaaaaah
so frustrating
in a few yrs i'm going to be able to say i studied under
but if i can't perform and i dont' know shit
that does not really help me much
and yeah
we learn on our own and we take the initiative
but a great prof makes worlds of difference
the disadvantages of big name research institutes :p
f'ing gah
and it's not just our PSCI department
it's all of them
Think Chang. FREAKIN AMAZING AMMMMAAAAAAAAAZING
completely dedicated to the students
but he's still "staff" >.<
makes me want to transfer to A small liberal arts school
hmmm
i need sleep
i haven't slept
well
there ahve been papers
and i'm dumb as shit
because it still feels like pulling teeth whenever i write anything
so stupid
gah
must sleep
now
bye
oh yeah
the parking system here
the injustice of it all
ROAR
that will be saved for next time
