Chemistry 2

greenspun.com : LUSENET : UR General Chemistry : One Thread

Now when i wrote the first message i just wanted to see what kind of response i would get from the rest of the students. My favorite was the guy who said he would whistle the "fuck you in the ass" song. that was mad creative and i hope you do it. But too all those people who defend the whole semester of meaningless rambling ked by no other than our great professor, whats wrong with you. You can read the complaints cant you? I mean granted you put in a lot of effort this year and mad props for doing so, but still this is college. Enjoy yourself. You can see that we are all thrown into a system. Each individual wants to get different things out of that system. Some perhaps want to pursue careers that have chemistry as a requirement, and they have no choice but to take this class. Oh and let me apologize for the continuation of the complaining on the all mighty BB. But if you think about it, its the best place for people to Bitch, it provides anonymity and a forum for people to read the many mini manifests. Either way back to the system; it gives many people no choice but to take this class and for those I apologize. I know my apology means nothing but hey its nice to hear Im sorry from someone. Now numbers make the majority and in theory majority wins. But mind you that is in theory. Hence if every student went into the exam and wrote nothing the curve would give everyone an A right? Unfortunately with all the people who like to read about the bohr model all day that would never happen. But imagine one less exam to worry about, walking in all whistling fuck you in the ass. I think its worth it just to see the expression on W. Udo Schroeders face. Honestly I think its least fair to those individuals who attended every class and still have to learn shit on their own. Now thats fucked up. But I personally am upset that students have very little say as to how their tuition money is being spent, and the quality of the education they receive. Education should make you think not lock yourself in some library. Surrounding yourself with books doesnt do anything, its all about reading the stuff that will have an impact on you. And dont say chemistry has an impact cause frankly the text sucks. It has no plot and keeps given us useless equations, and changes them every other page. Oh yea that prozac remark, I am not personally on it, maybe I should be, but I still found it offensive to those who actually might have such a problem. Now I am a fond believer in the golden rule, and if the professor doesnt want to teach three chapters then we shouldnt answer those questions. It only makes sense. But I hate to say that man is inevitably evil (props to Thomas Hobbes) he doesnt care for much unless it has to do with himself. And so I am alone on this big rock. But you should all keep that in mind, people aint good for shit and if you do find someone who is a true friend hold em near and dear. Especially in a shit hole like college. Now I predict that some dumb ass will say that if I spent the time reading the book and not complaining I would do well in fact I think someone did say that. But mind you what may seem like complaining is an attempt to perhaps enlighten a few, at least those who can understand. And to those few RIP SHIT UP, to the rest whatever. If chem. Is your calling great, maybe youll make some new firecracker that will blow off some poor little kids fingers. Peace

Student, i have to admit, i do enjoy reading your novels, oh sorry, i mean your comments. Many of the things that you say, i agree with. But i hope you know that cussing and being all profane is not going to help this matter any. So ok maybe you dont take Prozac, and i am not a doctor, but i have a new prescription for you its called a CHILL PILL.. ever heard of it? And about that song and other comments that are directed personally to professor Shroeder, i mean i dont know who you are, but that was uncalled for. You can criticize the professors teaching sytle all you want, but to offend him for who he is, is totally disrespectful. I mean yeah, i dont like the way he teaches, i mean i havent learned anything just like the majority of you. And my grades are not up there either, But I am not going to stoop as low as to attack him as a person. Thats all i have to say.. and as for the Chem final, good luck!.. Study hard... and am i alone in thinking that STUDENT IN CHEM 104 is prof Shroeder?

This BB thing is great!!! If i had known about it earlier i would used it more often. Of course if i went to class i probably would have know about it... i think... This is one of the few things i think udo would have talked about... this and a bunch of ums and ahs. In this class you can either go to class and read the textbook or just read the textbook. I don't know guys... I prefer to just read the textbook... eventhough getting soup and a bagel before class is fun. I think the soup lady inspired me to go to class more that Udo did. What does that say about the class? For all you people who went to class.. good call the soup there is great... for all of you who didn't... That couple of hours of extra sleep was great wasn't it?
