have you ever done a 4 year chemistry degree as a dyslexic then milsap have you please tell us about it
He did pretty much explain Uni (for most courses) in a nutshell tbf.
what's annoying me is people who are really up themselves because ooh wow they do a science degree and so they seem to think that everyone who isn't doing said science degree just obviously doesn't find uni hard at all or anything or have problems in lecturers not giving any information or stuffso glad i escaped doing science at a russell group uni when i did!
haha wow are you upset i dissed the liberal arts??? calm down im not one of those sorts who's so stupid as to think no other degree in the classic lot offered by most unis doesn't involve massive essays
more glad that i got out of doing the chemistry degree that i knew i'd really struggle with when i did rather than carrying it on and making my life hell tbhit's just incredibly annoying when people are all like "oh 'liberal arts' degrees oh that's not like a STEM degree" or "oh haha early childhood studies what a slacker degree"it'd be interesting to see how they'd cope when given the task of teaching 30 hyperactive 4 and 5 year olds rather than dealing with their equations or whateverit's nice to think that lots of people think that doing a degree like mine is a waste of time when actually my work has a massive effect on the next generation in their most important years of developmentalso just because it's a BA doesn't mean there's no science; i've got neuroscience and psychology coming out of my ears at the moment and am seemingly the only one on my course who understands eithernote: this has descended from a kinda reply to tonic water party to becoming a rant at everyone who's insulted my degree.. what fun
its like retail everyone disses it but in a difficult area its a lot harder than it looks again i say this cos i work retail
its like retail everyone disses it but in a difficult area its a lot harder than it looks again i say this cos i work retail in a convenience store which means the nights that everyone else is getting their assignments done and preparing for tommorows lectures (monday, thursday, sunday evening) i am stood there serving rude people expensive wine and trying to cope with being put in the one place i requested them not to put me cos im asthmatic and im being triggered by everyones entire bottles of perfume decanted about their shoulder or the mental hospital people's endless smoking habits ughhhhhhh if only i didn't need the moneyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
surely an ex-poly liberal arts degree
like its just milsap stated the bloody obvious which is ex-poly universities can sometimes be gold for teaching cos they hit the balance between "we've got enough money to pay good lecturers who care" and "we're big enough to have some clout in the field" and not be like the worse ex-polys which have like only three casio keyboards and one cello a couple reference speakers and Ableton Live Lite 5 as the only musicmaking softwareand he was like "haha whats the problem i got great teaching at my ex-poly" and its like of course you got good teaching at a good ex poly for a social science where stuff like music is a boon to do
if you do music in a top uni you're expected to learn lots of boring theory about dead old people as opposed to tinkering with a vintage synth for a week
it'd be interesting to see how they'd cope when given the task of teaching 30 hyperactive 4 and 5 year olds rather than dealing with their equations or whatever
christ i hate the public
All I said was that I was a very bright student who probably could have gone to your fancy pants Russell Group Universities like my brother did but ended up going to one that's not at the top of everybody's lists.
