Better Know Your GSI

GSI4hire says,

Speaking from the other side of the classroom, I can attest that this list is pretty accurate and would agree with the recommendations. Posted 03/25/2008 05:03 AM

They�re not Instructors, but Graduate Student Protesting Can Be Effective

GSI4hire says,

No No. No one is getting credit for classes outside of Michigan. It means grad students aren't automatically at the back of the line behind freshmen. It is based off of Michigan credit hours as you suggest. Posted 03/25/2008 04:56 AM

Been Screwed by the University Grading System? Yeah, Me too.

GSI4hire says,

Well, I can't speak for other disciplines, but I know in most Econ classes, the professors apply the curve to anyone who took the first midterm. So if you completely **** up then drop, you're still in the mandatory bottom 10% or whatever that's in the "D/E" group. Plus it's so rare for a student to get over 90% of the points, that the other issue isn't a problem, either. The idea of curve isn't as bad as you think.

But that just goes to show you there is little to no uniformity between disciplines which is a problem in it's own right. And you undergrads don't even know the half of it. There's so many subtle ways this school is screwing with your education. Posted 02/21/2008 8:21 PM

I enjoy low expectations which can be thankfully attributed to Paul (JQ). For other comparisons see: Aaron Rodgers, Scottie Pippen, Pre-Super Bowl Eli Manning, Conan O'Brien and Rufio.
