not to be mean, but you won't get far with that argument
That was my experience as well
I can't speak for poli sci, but just my experience with academics in those types of departments, they won't do jack
How important is this class?
Im not trying to argue it lol
Are you poli sci major so it's required or is it just for some credit
pretty much just took what I got this semester its w.e
I would just stick with theory, if that is what the assignment asks
Unless you don't mind lying in your paper about your opinion lol
I lied about my opinion a ton when I was in undergrad
if it's a significant grade, it's better to do that
otherwise, just do whatever
it was such an open ended assignment we basically got 500 topics to chose from and have to write 2000 words
do you get feedback?
free speech was number 21 got tired after looking at it
if you get feedback about writing style or whatever, that's one thing. If it's feedback about your argument, that's another
yea we pretty much get very little feedback depends the assignment
Honestly you probably had TA's grade that stuff. PoliSci Grad Students + Right Wing Views = No bueno
that's a shame
Even my TA's, in a STEM field, have kind of been hit or miss with craziness
I was about to do stem but uk not the best at math so
well I don't want to give too much away. But I'm in Engineering
I was really good at chem tho
Haha I understand
If you don't want to do STEM, don't
I've seen too many go into it thinking they'll do great because high school told them they were amazing and then bomb
it wasn't pretty
pursuing law
that's always a solid path
They're trying to take over the STEM fields now http://www.lastwordonnothing.com/2015/11/27/a-modest-proposal-for-re-naming-connectors-and-fasteners/
oh I know
I remember on the podcast Blonde was outraged that STEAM was becoming a thing
I've been seeing that for a long time coming
I've almost had to forcibly pass minority student's assignments they've otherwise failed
but you throw a big enough fuss and my department usually steps down
damn thats crazy
There's a lot of stuff that goes on behind the scenes. It's a bit depressing
Wow so all I have to do is have a Mexican sounding name and I don't have to do much work. Why didn't I think of this before?
Instead not only am I a whitey, but I have a German last name. rip
@RoadtoDawn I could go on a rant for days. I choose not to think about it
