It's a perfect fit, and already all set up. So, I really don't need responses telling me how poor my job market is, and/or how limited the opportunities are.</p> <p>I know most employers don't pay much attention to minors, and they're really not a big deal. However, I am being asked to declare mine before Thanksgiving, and i'm a bit stuck.</p> <p>Some people may say this is a fair amount of information to process, but I would greatly appreciate any sort of feedback!</p> <p>Political Science: The program claims there's a lot of overlap, and that it prepares one for a career in Journalism. I am worried that the subject may bore me. I am not overly bored by politics, though they don't exactly excite me either.</p> <p>Anthropology: I have to focus on either Biological/Physical, Social/Cultural, Theoretical, or Applied Anthropology. Depending on what I sign up for, this could end up being relevant, yet that's mostly speculation.</p> <p>English and Textual Studies: My English 104 teacher told me I ought to consider studying literature professionally. It seems as if it would probably be helpful, as reading and writing go hand in hand.</p> <p>Fine Arts: I adored Art History; except I fear that this is one of those fluffy subjects, which really isn't going to do much for me. Hence, I would be taking this purely for my own enjoyment.</p> <p>Philosophy: This bears a similar problem to Art History, only it might be a bit more beneficial, because it could help build argumentative, critical thinking, and analytical skills. </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/harvard-admissions-my-standings-and-plannnings#post-1741 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 18:07:42 +0000 Anonymous 1741@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>Right now I am a High School sophomore with hopes of majoring in astrophysics as an undergraduate and plasma physics as a graduate.

In that key respect, Obama failed on Christmas Day, just as President George W. Bush failed on September 11th (though he succeeded in the seven years after that).</p> <p>Yes, the buck stops in the Oval Office. Obama may have rather smugly given himself a “B+” for his 2009 performance but he gets an F for the events that led to Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab boarding a Detroit-bound plane in Amsterdam with a PETN bomb sewn into his underpants. He said today that a “systemic failure has occurred”. Well, he’s in charge of that system.</p> <p><a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/tobyharnden/100020934/barack-obama-gets-an-f-for-protecting-americans/" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/tobyharnden/100020934/barack-obama-gets-an-f-for-protecting-americans/</a></p> <p>[quote]In his studied desire to be the unBush by responding coolly to events like this, Obama is dangerously close to failing as a leader. Yes, it is good not to shoot from the hip and make broad assertions without the facts. But Obama took three days before speaking to the American people, emerging on Monday in between golf and tennis games in Hawaii to deliver a rather tepid address that significantly underplayed what happened. He described Abdulmutallab as an “isolated extremist” who “allegedly tried to ignite an explosive device on his body” – phrases that indicate a legalistic, downplaying approach that alarms rather than reassures. Today’s words showed a lot more fire and desire to get on top of things – we’ll see whether Obama follows through with action. In the meantime, he went snorkelling.[/quote] </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/china-might-change-english-as-we-know-it#post-1262 Tue, 29 Dec 2009 19:23:42 +0000 Anonymous 1262@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>China's emergence as a 21st century superpower will change the way English is used internationally, according to language experts at the University of Melbourne.</p> <p>In a book* published last week, Melbourne Graduate School of Education researchers Professor Joseph LoBianco and Dr Jane Orton argue that the world's communications profile will change dramatically because of increased English language learning in China and increased Chinese language learning in the rest of the world.</p> <p>The authors say there are now more Chinese people learning English than there are Americans.

Along with tuition fees, students find themselves shelling out for textbooks and course packs that can add up to a small fortune, an average of US$900 a year in America. But BookRenter, a web-based company in northern California, is offering students an alternative to purchasing their expensive textbooks: simply rent them.</p> <p>BookRenter says it can save users up to 75% when they rent their required textbooks through its online exchange. Among other guarantees, the company promises customers their textbooks are either brand new or slightly used; there are - its managers claim - millions of books available and delivery is free if the textbooks do not arrive on time.</p> <p>The United States Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) has released findings suggesting an American student can spend an average of US$900 a year on textbooks, which translates to roughly 20% of the tuition fees at a public community college. PIRG also stated that since 1994, the cost of textbooks had increased at four times the rate of inflation.</p> <p>BookRenter's website reports an overall growth of 300% following last September's start of the new academic year. With more than 40,000 students using the database from 5,000 campuses across the US, BookRenter has a firm grip on the US market.</p> <p>"We've experienced a record year of growth by focusing on what our customers really want - selection, affordable prices, high-quality books and reliable delivery," says Mehdi Maghsoodni, BookRenter's CEO.</p> <p>Launched in 2007, BookRenter has harnessed the power of new media to help communicate with its customers.</p> <p>"Consumers are surprised when they discover that the majority of our team is dedicated to working with customers online via Twitter, Facebook, email and chat. We view our customer support and community team as a core pillar of our business versus seeing it as a cost centre," says Maghsoodnia.</p> <p><a href="http://www.universityworldnews.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.universityworldnews.com/</a> </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/uc-davis-protests-over-higher-education-costs#post-1353 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 07:49:59 +0000 Anonymous 1353@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p><a href="http://www.mideastweb.org/nutshell.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.mideastweb.org/nutshell.htm</a></p> <p>Here is the thing... </p> <p>These students out there rallying for a just cause (lower student loan<br /> costs and overall lower educational costs) are so dumb, they don't even<br /> realize that the very socialist government that they so proudly trump<br /> around defending and yearning for is the very government that is causing<br /> the rates to go up for them.

I got a job a month ago that is full-time and I am working day shift right now. In Fall I plan on taking 3 online classes (13 credits, two of which are really easy) and one in person class at night (language). The class is on Mondays and Wednesdays. On Mondays I will have 30 minutes time to get to school from work and I have Wednesdays off work so I won't have any troubles there. If I can do Fall quarter successfully I plan on switching to night shift at my job (which is 8pm to 6:30am 4 days a week). So basically I would go to work then drive to school and study until my first class and then go classes and be home and in bed around 12.</p> <p>I guess what I want is pointers on how to make this easier (or possible). Scheduling I can pull it off but it will require immense focus and I guess I'm just looking for somebody who is doing this, or has done it who can tell me what it is that helped them do it or why it didn't work out for them and what they could do differently. </p> <p>I plan on using my days off work to "catch up" on my studies and school work. The first quarter should be pretty easy, I'll study my language class 1 hour a day on work days and do all my other courses on my 3 days off (which I would have more than enough time to do that with). I just need to start planning out and preparing for how I'm going to tackle Winter and Spring quarter successfully. </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/international-internship-for-recent-college-graduate#post-1529 Fri, 16 Jul 2010 13:21:54 +0000 Anonymous 1529@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>Hi Everyone!

There are more options than the traditional campus bookstore or bulletin boards. These days, a range of websites cater to the textbook market with options for new, used, rented and even free textbooks.</p> <p>[b]The Old Dilemma: New vs. Used[/b]</p> <p>You need to consider what kind of arrangement you want. Are you somebody who needs to have a brand-new textbook that has never been marked up and will last for years? Or are you most interested in saving money? Are you only one using the book for one class? Is it necessary that the book not be marked up (e.g. quizzes, tests, problems)? Is the most recent edition necessary due to special software or updated information? Check with your professor to determine the flexibility with editions. You may get easily get a better deal by using a previous edition. If new material is important to the course, then borrow/share a roommate or classmate’s book (or request a teacher-provided supplemental hand-out) for the specific information. Alternatively, some new websites allow you to purchase/print book chapters on demand. All these factors can guide your decision to go new or used.</p> <p>[b]Websites for Selling/Purchasing[/b]</p> <p>Before you run to the campus bookstore, visit the World Wide Web. As a general rule, you should examine unknown sites for signs of quality: a real physical address, customer-service phone number, security/authentication badges (VeriSign, Thawte, McAfee etc.), and positive press references. Study your shipping options closely and be aware of the delivery time in relation to when you need the book.</p> <p> * Amazon<br /> * eBay<br /> * half.com<br /> * Barnes &amp; Noble<br /> * BookFinder.com<br /> * AbeBooks Online marketplace for books; subsidiary of Amazon<br /> * Akademos Online marketplace for student-to-student selling<br /> * Flat World Knowledge Free digital textbooks<br /> * Cash4Books online used-book buying service; operated by McKenzieBooks.com</p> <p>[b]Renting Textbooks[/b]</p> <p>There is also a reliable alternative to buying new or used books. Chegg, a textbook rental service with over 1.5 million books rented in 2009, is the leader. It also offers full refunds for orders returned within 30 days, along with guaranteed book quality and delivery dates. Established in 2005, it appears to be here to stay, having raised more than $160 million in equity and debt. Another one to try is bookrenter.com. Additionally, check with textbook publishers or college bookstores for renting options. Mind your due date, or you’ll be paying extra.<br /> Free Books in the Future?</p> <p>Paying for textbooks eventually may become a thing of the past, as what’s called the “open textbook initiative” is gaining steam. Some open textbooks are available on the Creative Commons website. In fact, Florida students in state colleges or universities can get free textbooks online or half-price textbooks in print. California has also started to come on board the digital textbook boat. With digital audiobooks, e-books, and e-book readers becoming more widespread, look for other states to follow suit in the future.</p> <p>[i]About Rasmussen College: Then called the Rasmussen Practical School of Business, Rasmussen College was founded on September 1, 1900 in St. Paul, Minnesota by Walter Rasmussen.
