Too hard to mute your laptop in class? By Crystal Kotow 4th year Communication Studies student January 28, 2009 I’m a fourth year Communication Studies student and because of a lack of options for my final semester as an undergrad, I decided to enroll in a 100-level non-Communication Studies class to fulfill my Degree Audit requirements.
It’s been a while since I’ve been in a class with more than 150 people (three years, perhaps?), and after only three classes I can confidently say that there is a severe lack of respect for graduate students and PhD students (and sometimes full-time professors), who teach night classes (Note: This isn’t the first night class I’ve taken that had a graduate student teaching a mass of chatty, impatient undergrads. Disrespect is found all across the board).
I find it very disrespectful when for three full hours there is a buzz of low voices behind me (I usually sit at the front of the lecture hall). >> | Not buying into pseudosciences By Konstantine Palanski
4th year Biotechnology student January 28, 2009 I’m certain you’ve seen the advertisements, the ones that peddle Complementary and Alternative Medicines (CAM) such as acupuncture, homeopathy, chiropractic and naturopathy, just to mention a few.
Some of these practices have become so ingrained within our minds that most people do not go so far as to question their techniques or promises, accepting them at face value. That’s the beauty of it for the CAM proponents, that is where the money lies.
I hate to be the one to break the bad news, but you’ve been duped. All of the above mentioned practices, as well as others that are labelled as being part of the CAM movement, are based on expired ideas that have been disproven by science long ago, but still attract the general naive public due to the cure-all promises and quick fixes. >>  | | Campus Kiss | |
