Just stay away from most Liberal Arts.....

When I was a freshman I went to my first English class and it was taught by a butch female graduate student with an attitude. I was just starting the Engineering program and was pegged as one immediately when she noticed my large T-square from drafting class.

I wrote my first two papers and got D's on both. There were no markings on the papers other than the letter grade. I figured I was in college now and had a LOT to learn so I went to talk to her about my paper's problems so I could improve my future papers.

I had no grammar problems, no spelling errors, no topical inconsistancies, no theme problems, etc. She reread my papers and could not point out a single flaw or area that needed improving. She just "Didn't like it." I dropped the class and later took it during a work quarter from a Phd instead of a graduate student. Made an A. My education was only just starting..............

By the way, does anyone understand why an engineering major requires several liberal arts classes and a liberal arts major only needs maybe one math class (like Algebra.......a 7th -9th grade level class)?

Here's a professor I am impressed with.
I really wish they had had THIS class when I went to school....

May have to email them about getting a video tape of the lectures, etc.
