My group partner and I had a presentation scheduled for today. We'd rehearsed, we had handouts, and a power point presentation. We were set. Everything was ready to go ( Read more... )

So, my program lets undergraduates teach 1-credit classes, and I'm thinking about doing one next semester. Is this a bad idea? I can't quite decide...

Not so much a question, more of a frustration

I know it being cold out is a bad reason to miss class, but HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

Next semester I shall be taking my first upper-level seminar in my major (English literature). How are more-advanced level seminars different from the courses to which I'm accustomed? What can I expect to be different in terms of the class structure, grading, discussions, expectations, written work, etcetera ( Read more... )

Worth it?

Alright, I've been a member for a relatively short while, but I think I have the rhythm down from lurking (both here and at academics_anon). My situation goes something like this: I am a freshman at a small (less than 1,500 students) liberal arts school of good reputation. I have some substantial academic scholarships, that's a mark in the "plus ( Read more... )
