As with any university, there are likely some classes or professors at Baylor that are not conducive to excellent learning.
However, the Oct. 17 Lariat editorial, “Regulated curriculum helps BU,” prescribes a vague solution that could very well do more harm than good.
The Lariat is correct in articulating the importance of professor reviews. Thoughtful, honest feedback can be extremely useful to professors and department heads. But if the goal is to facilitate the best possible learning process, it is illogical to argue that “courses should be regulated for leveled experience.”
We’ve all had that class where we show up preparing to learn something with a professor that doesn’t do much more than tell copious number of personal stories and mentally kick his feet up on a desk to teach the class.
Typically, most of these students admit they’re there because they only want to pass the class.
It’s tough being the youngest brother. The older brothers receive more attention, are able to do more activities and get to ride in the front seat of the car.
In the world of professional sports, the National Hockey League is the youngest brother. But hockey does not deserve to be condemned to the world of upper-tier cable packaging. A sport that unites power, finesse and excitement should receive similar play to the more popular sports.
I came to Baylor this August as an exchange student from Japan. I have never been to America before, so I came here for the first time. I am having an amazing life now. All of my experiences here are fresh and wonderful for me, and I have never experienced like this life before. For example, there are delicious American foods, good weather every day, and a lot of kind people.
Does anyone carry little towels with them everywhere you go? If you visit the SLC, get comfortable doing this.
I cannot count the numerous times I have forgotten to bring a towel to the SLC because I have never worked out at a gym where personal towels were required. Therefore, it is hard for me to remember to do this at Baylor.
As the government shutdown continues, America is realizing exactly how much the government manages. While Republicans and Democrats continue to bicker and argue, America is paying the price of this temper tantrum though several avenues.
The shutdown is supposed to prevent non-essential spending, but this isn’t happening in all cases. The servers that host government websites are still running, but they are redirecting to a shutdown page. It would have made more sense, if the government wanted to really save money, to shut down the servers to federal websites. It isn’t saving the government any money to block these websites. They’re only annoying the American people.
The fans cheered. My Facebook wall began to fill with grateful posts. I stared at my TV, stunned at what I was hearing. It didn’t seem to match up with what I was seeing on the screen. Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub gripped his ankle in pain as I felt ashamed to be a Texans fan.
For the first time since the 2010 season, the Houston Texans are coming off their fourth loss in a row. For the third week in a row, Texans fans have amazed me with their lack of class regarding the team they claim to love.
When college students consider whether to accept an internship with a company, typically they look at numerous factors: is the company reputable, is it in a nice area, is it in their field of study and is it a paid or unpaid internship.
In the future, college students need to take a closer look at whether or not an internship is paid.
