To these people who think they know about homework...

wow... masters and phd seem really complicated!
i dont know if i want to go that far tho... i think i'm just going to get 2 bachelors degrees. or one bachelor and one minor... i'll see. i dont think i need to go that high to be sucessful in what i need to do.
what i want is 3 degrees (business, music managment business/music industry, and communications)... lol, but that doesnt seem possible to me!

i'm soooo happy! my homework load is going to be so light this week! cause half of my senior class is leaving for karios (a type of retreat) tomorrow (i'm going in spring)! so my teachers arent allowed to give us homework. so the half of us who arent going on retreat get to do community service on wed and thurs and then get friday through monday off! i need this break to do college stuff!!! lol. and work on long term projects in school. but the bad part is i have to write 20 letters to my friends who are going on the retreat... so that takes work too!

The way we work things in good ole California at good ole CSUS:

1) 3 hours of homework/outside classwork for every UNIT you take.


I believe that is how it is at UWM too. They expect you to do like 9-12 hours per week outside of class, PER CLASS.

That said, between all 16 of my credits (most of which are 300 level or above) and me being a lazy ass I usually end up doing things the night before they are due / night before the exam  :twisted:. I really need to quit that, I haven't been burned yet ::knocks on wood::, but it is still a bad habit to get into.

But yes, it is hard to find time to study for school, attend classes, work, and sleep. That is why I am always  zzZZzzz and  :microwave: about things having to do with school.

As for the stuff about grad school, in psychology we write up these lab reports and that, and our TA was telling us how in one of her reports just the introduction section (which is usually 5-10 pages for us at this stage) was 47 pages and was almost 60 until they made her cut it down lol.
For all you broken hearted lovers lost, go find another one. 'Cause you know time won't wait and you'll be late, white rabbits on the run...

Is it true that to really be legitimate you have to take 2 degrees there? That is what i have heard anyway, i've heard that american degrees aren't really counted as legitimate over here. *runs and hides*

I've never heard such a thing.

I know that according to me there are a LOT of worthless degrees people get here.  I won't name names since I don't want to be offensive, but some of us have to work A LOT harder for our degrees.
I think you underestimate the level of my sneakiness

College sucks.  I'm going through this thing called planning my future, and I reeeeally don't like it.  My undergrad degree is in anthropology, a dicipline that I love and I'm good at.  But I'm also very involved in student life and student development, which I also love (and i think i'm a pretty hot RA).  So I am torn between going on for a masters in anthropology with no money and limited jobs, or getting a masters in Higher education administration, which is NOT being a principal like everyone thinks, but being able to go into the field of student development or student life at colleges and universities.  That's where there's lots of oppertunity and the big bucks.

It's hard trying to figure out what you wanna do.  Any advice out there?
It is a crime to kill a neighbor, and an act of heroism to kill an enemy.  But who is an enemy and who is a neighbor is purely a matter of social definition.  - E.R. Leach

Never heard such a thing.

That's simply the English "We think we're better than America" attitude.

Someone we know who went to a university in North Carolina said it was ridiculously easy (sorry Limey!) and the level of GCSE examinations here (i took those this year!!) or maybe at the hardest A-levels (the ones we take at 18 ). Maybe NC just has a rubbish university?American education here certainly isn't regarded as good as ours- but thats probably just us being snobby.

Get used to it.

I'm with Tricia... at Georgia Southern, we're told that for every one hour of class, expect three hours of homework.


Really? They must be getting more strict there. Everyone I know that went there was always talking about how much GSU was a party school and the more serious schools were Tech and UGA.

Homework sucks. I always skipped out on it in my high school classes, or did it in the breaks between classes. :D But I had college leverl chem last year, and it was such a mistake to blow it off... x_x

I said that's what we're told to do.  We don't actually do it.

Yes, Georgia Southern is the best party school in the state.  Yes, if you want to have fun, you come to Statesboro.

But college is what you make it.  If you came to Georgia Southern with the mindset of getting good grades and learning--you can do that here.  In fact, in MANY departments (business, education, Kineseology) we are BETTER than any school in the state.  

If you come to Georgia Southern to party, it'll be a party school.  If you come to learn, it'll be a great academic institution.

No sorry Limey lol there are tons of school in NC so which one is the key factor....but we do have some of the best schools (at least for the medical field) in the country...
