Didn’t I just write a post about this topic? Yes, I seem to recall that I did. This time the topic comes to me from the most unlikely of places, my History and Systems of Psychology course. The topic of the week for the discussion board is as follows: Darwin’s Theory of Evolution was a […]
To get a form processed to allow me to finish my degree in Spring I had to contact an individual who is identified as the “Academic Counselor for the College of Arts and Sciences”. I don’t know if she is having hump-day blues or what, but she managed to thoroughly screw over every piece of […]
I received my grade and a note from my sociology instructor this morning regarding my 2nd essay test on the lectures. “Very nicely done, Curtis. You corrected the few flaws I saw in your first paper, and honestly aside from some very minor punctuation and grammar flaws I have very little to criticize here…great paper. […]
I am a little worried about tomorrow. Its just another Monday in the academic term according to the calendar, but for me, it marks the beginning of the last unit of study in my Introduction to Sociology (SOC 210) course. According to the grade book I have 3 more quizzes and one more test to […]

I just finished my first test in Intro to Sociology and I am a bit worried. I have spent the last 5 days working on and off on the essay test answering four questions. The general idea was that the answers to the four test questions would come from the four lectures that were posted […]
At the moment I am working on an exam for Introduction to Sociology and I find myself somewhat disgusted with how much humans assimilate to social norms. One of the questions on my exam relates to socialization, which as defined by my instructor and the text, is what makes us human. While I agree that […]
I seem to have mis-calculated something in my degree audit, and because Banner is generally less intelligent than a trained monkey, it was no help in discovering the error. When I so eagerly marked the waiver status on the first two requirements on the degree form I neglected that those 5 credit hours don’t just […]
I am just getting started with reading my sociology textbook and have already discovered a few things that I don’t like, the primary thing is the author. The author has the audacity to call pornography a “social problem”, and classes it with rape, pollution and the spread of AIDS. I personally take offense to this […]
