My Personal Deviance

I need help with an assignment. I have an assignment in Sociology of Deviant Behavior that I have been avoiding because I don’t know how to get started. This is one of those times when my lack of desire to break out of society’s norms is biting me in the ass. The assignment is the […]

Spring 2011 Course Descriptions

Art History Survey 1 [ART114] Richard L. Gilbert This course covers the development of art forms from ancient times to the Renaissance. Emphasis is placed on content, terminology, design, and style. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate an historical understanding of art as a product reflective of human social development. This course has […]

Early Grade Madness

So far in this course I have 2 grades, an autobiography discussion post and an extra credit assignment which involved replying to the instructor’s message. GITI’s calculation of such grades is a bit imprecise.  If 100 is an A+, and 92 is an A, what is 600? In this particular course the grading is based […]

Class Change for Spring 2011 Semester

This morning I happened to check Banner at 6am and discovered a single vacant seat for SOCI 360, Sociology of Deviant Behavior. I have since claimed that seat. As a result of having that course I am likely to not take on the graduate course. I am so tired of being concerned with what graduate […]

Why I will miss Del.icio.us

I hate browser-specific bookmarks that don’t follow me. I do not want to have to use FireFox’s craptastic bookmark features (or that stupid star) – the Del.icio.us add-on can suppress the built-in features (but doesn’t require their suppression) Other options for “syncing” bookmarks focus too much on the “sync” aspect and not enough on remaining […]

A Few Academic Glass Balls

I had a few issues with the department of sociology, but apparently showing them a “Principles of Sociology” credit is as good as a membership card. I was authorized to register for the […]

Not The Only One Annoyed

“Hello everyone; this is to let you know that I had uploaded grades in Banner after irritating insistence by the administration (they just send you an e-mail a day until you do it. Talk about negative reinforcement!). They also want me to remind you of the course evaluations.” This email just came in from Dr. […]
