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

What do you teach @A Cup Of Covfefe ?

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

fat L

Right, I was gonna ask how you feel day to day, but naturally you'd probably adapt to not really care too much

it's not that I don't care. It's just that if I think about it constantly my life would be miserable

luckily if I raise a fuss, it's usually alright.
