I should’ve done that for my race class. Worst of all, I can’t use my laptop to take notes (which is 90x faster for me as I type far faster than I write). He doesn’t allow electronics.
Dude I did! I use it each time I reg for classes. I didn’t read anything bad about him, but I also didn’t take in what possible views the majority of students at SCCC might have.
yah… my one teacher called me out for using a laptop, fucking cunt
Yeah, some of these teachers take it to seriously. I’m a paying customer (technically speaking). If I don’t do good in the class cause I was wasting time on facebook during class…that’s my fault. It’s a waste of money on my part.
I had a whole issue with a professor last semester. She didn’t post her quiz dates, but I asked her in an email a week advance of me leaving town on a BUSINESS trip (legit reason, had an itinerary to prove it) if I had a quiz coming up and she didn’t reply. I came back to Albany, logged into blackboard only to find out I got a zero. I was PISSED. After some back and forth (and talking to the department), she agreed to see me and we settled our differences and I ended up getting an A- in the class after having a D thanks to some other BS grades she was giving to me and a couple of other guys I sat with.
I told her that I understand she doesn’t want to grade makeups for a month after the initial quiz, but she should at least post the dates so people can plan. If they don’t make to class then, then it’s their fault and not yours.
This semester, my brother has her and he said she now announces the dates. I’m glad she listened to me.
I heard UAlbany SUCKS DICK from more people than I can count.
Compared to HVCC which I went to for 2 years:
- UAlbany’s classes are HUGE. The most I’ve had is 400, the smallest is 60. I think HVCC my biggest was like 100.
- The teachers definitely seem more strict and anal.
I like UAlbany though. It’s a nice campus and the general school is nice. Plus I’m a UAlbany season ticket holder for the basketball team, so I feel more ‘part of program’ being a future alumni :lol. Can’t beat 3rd row center court at every game. I remember when we were winning championships. Place was ROCKIN. They aren’t that good right now, so it’s pretty dead. It’s bad when me and the guys in my area start most of the chants and are the primary hecklers of the refs/opposing team. lol.
In what aspects?
Seen a 3 car crash on the way to hvcc at like 930 am.
Oh yah, I SAW that too
Yo dawg, seen mad ****** up in the campus center hahaha ya heard?!
Haha IDK. The HUGE classes. The lack of professors knowing what they are teaching, and simply not being able to understand the foreign mofos.
Deff gonna be some huge classes but I try to take them because that generally means less work and the ability to dick off on my laptop. I can honestly say I’ve never had a foreign professor, I have had a foreign TA but that was it. I think U albany has pretty good professors, especially in the criminal justice and business programs. I had a professor last semester who did his masters degree at Oxford. My biggest complaint is how ratty the college in general is, needs to be updated bad.
Yes. I think I had one Indian guy at HVCC that I couldn’t understand. Everyone else spoke English. UA? Damn it’s hard.
+1.
The college has ratty areas for sure. But I like the Lecture Center/Academic Podium area with the fountain and all that. And the Campus Center.
science library is baller… but like the class rooms and lecture centers in general just need updating
Haha word. Im finishing up my BA in CRJ at SUNY Plattsburgh. Classes start Monday. Its quite possibly the most badass program out there. Its totally new, It uses HVCC as its branch campus. Only night classes are offered so you don’t get the traditional college experience, but hey, we party every other day of the week. Anyways, they have full time professors from Plattsburgh that teach these classes on the HVCC and ACC campuses. So I will have my bachelors from SUNY Plattsburgh. Its same tuition as Ualb. I have class Monday night Wens, and Thurs nights. And an online class. Its pretty dope.
wow… thats pretty nice
Especially the mic systems the professors use. Those things are aweful. In one class last semester, if the teacher got close to one side of the room (maybe someones phone?) it would emit the most abnoxious high pitch whine known to man but usually they crackle, pop, and sound muffled. Terrible. Or as Charles Barkley would say, “Turrible.”
+1
You’re living in Plattsburgh now, ni gga?
