To all who think Kinesiology is a joke...

They funnel 99% of their athletes into the school of Kinesiology, where they can take easy classes & stay eligible. Almost their entire roster is studying Kinesiology, General Studies or undecided.

The jokes have little to do with the real college students that take kinesiology courses. Mario Manningham is not taking your course.

At least that uses words. Let me see if I can dig out an old study sheet for Differential Equations. :wink:

The most cryptic class I ever took at OSU was one about computer language theory. It took four weeks before I could even understand a lecture, and I was a Computer Science major at the time.

Still, your point is valid. Anything taught at a sufficiently high level is going to involve complexity and work. That's not, however, what's happening at scUM.

This kinesiology seems like a lot of memorizing. You have to memorize a lot of stuff and answer questions about it on the test. Social sciences and even some natural science courses (e.g., biology) are like that.

Other classes and majors have a smaller set of information that you have to memorize, but you have to do a lot of thinking on the test to eke out the answers.

Case in point:

God. That font will haunt me until I'm gray.

All of that could be covered in a two hour lecture. Take good notes, you ace this without breaking a sweat.

Well if it's a 20 page review and he posted the 1 page, and the class met twice a week (which a 2 hour lecture would). Then that would be all covered in 1 lecture


Seems like a bitch to me.

Most painful class I've ever had to sit through was Econ 444, Econometrics

There were 60 people enrolled in the course, 15 people would show up on any given day, and half of those would be gone halfway in (2 hour lecture). It was physically painful to sit through because he might as well have just been mumbling nonsense the entire time (which he might have been) and keep in mind I don't find regular economics classes boring (being that it's my major) whereas 98% of others do.

The only reason people got through it..80 point test, you get the first 20 points for showing up and you have to do whatever 3 out of 4 or 5 problems are on it. Open book test and you had the full 2 hours 18 minutes to complete. Throw on whatever additional curve is needed after that lol

Are you talking about Robert DeJong? He is one of the better econometrics teachers out there. My Lord, it's as if the economists who are the worst at teaching are always the ones who teach that class!

This guy's name was Curtis Eberwein.

I really think you just have to be a different breed to do that course

I keep looking for it in Word, but I can't seem to find the 'I'm Fucked' font? Can anyone help?

I always figured there had to be some central source that pumps these sheets w/ that font out to every university. No way every teacher at every university can make each sheet look EXACTLY the same. It can't be done, I tell you.
