Granted some of the skills are more general media/talking/editing skills

2019-12-10 21:03:40 UTC  

Then working around the Irish lol

2019-12-10 21:03:58 UTC  

but for real, why take north american journalism skills and learn all those ethics (we do get taught ethics, the industry just threw them away in the last 15 years)

2019-12-10 21:03:59 UTC  

It's probably just to have the name of the university on their resume

2019-12-10 21:04:01 UTC  

and then go back to fucking china

2019-12-10 21:04:22 UTC  

it costs so much money to come all the way ehre

2019-12-10 21:04:25 UTC  

only to go back

2019-12-10 21:04:32 UTC  

Maybe cause there like college students and don’t actually care to use those skills?

2019-12-10 21:04:34 UTC  

Doing a year abroad is pretty swag in China

2019-12-10 21:04:41 UTC  

They are just there to take up space

2019-12-10 21:04:46 UTC  

Well, those who come aren't exactly poor

2019-12-10 21:05:18 UTC  

But ya know college see big dollar signs so please me china people come in

2019-12-10 21:05:30 UTC  

We had a syrian lady in her early 30s try and use a quotation from a relevant source for her story... but the quote was **five years old**

2019-12-10 21:05:34 UTC  

There are three different theres, Ubermensch

2019-12-10 21:05:37 UTC  

one of your first rules is **get your own quotes**

2019-12-10 21:05:51 UTC  

even if you see quotes in someone else's paper, try and reach the source yourself to verify in case that paper misconstrued

2019-12-10 21:06:00 UTC  

one of our instructors had to nearly force her to call the guy herself

2019-12-10 21:06:21 UTC  

Turns out the guy had a way more interesting bit of information than what she was stealing

2019-12-10 21:06:22 UTC  

:|

2019-12-10 21:06:43 UTC  

I go back during the first few months of each semester to be an extra pair of hands for the instructors

2019-12-10 21:06:47 UTC  

they need it

2019-12-10 21:07:07 UTC  

Do you get alot of Chinese that go into the medical field then just fly back to China?

2019-12-10 21:07:34 UTC  

Would you think you put that investment and expect getting something out of it societally besides the college earning a few bucks?

2019-12-10 21:07:49 UTC  

Unclear

2019-12-10 21:07:56 UTC  

I've only taken college for journalism and media

2019-12-10 21:08:01 UTC  

and that building is far from main campus

2019-12-10 21:08:04 UTC  

What do you mean unclear lol

2019-12-10 21:08:12 UTC  

You teach them a valuable skill

2019-12-10 21:08:13 UTC  

the main campus out in the county has 90% of the programs of the college

2019-12-10 21:08:18 UTC  

Then they take said skill and fuck off

2019-12-10 21:08:27 UTC  

the journalism building is downtown, and a block away is film/media/art

2019-12-10 21:08:30 UTC  

Like being a doctor

2019-12-10 21:08:33 UTC  

Most of the sciences are across town

2019-12-10 21:08:40 UTC  

so I don't have experience/knowledge about international students there

2019-12-10 21:08:58 UTC  

aside from the vague word that they outnumber canadian students by a fuckton and keep clogging up the busses cause transit doesn't have enough busses to keep up

2019-12-10 21:09:31 UTC  

We have a bus that's gained the nickname "sardine 6" for being the main bus from downtown to the main campus

2019-12-10 21:09:41 UTC  

rumor is it near-permanently smells of curry

2019-12-10 21:09:50 UTC  

kay that's mean but still

2019-12-10 21:10:25 UTC  

Fuck the chinks

2019-12-10 21:13:56 UTC
