Students Get iPods as Study Aids
WIAKywbfatw writes "Georgia College & State University in Milledgeville, Georgia has given iPod digital music players to its students to help them with their coursework, as reported by BBC News. Apple donated about 50 iPods as part of an experimental project to illustrate creative uses for the machine, and University professors say the gadgets have helped the students think more critically about their Gothic Imagination course." I wonder if I can write off my new iPod as an education expense.
Seeing as the new ones are 10,15,30gb and the ones they got were 5gb, it can probably be inferred that they are old.
These are pampered rich kids taking a bullshit course called "Gothic Imagination".
I mean, c'mon. There's no benefit to courses like this, only cost.
When daddy pays $60,000 in tuition to send his dopey kid to college, the last thing they want is for him to flunk or drop out. So colleges are filled with bird courses and bogus degrees in silly shit like this. Like the school that has a course on watching the Simpsons.
It pisses me off that I busted my ass for a scholarship, and then to pay back student loans, when the shools give the same degree and preferential treatment to mentally deficient trust fund babies because they're the ones who can donate to the alumni fund down the road.
Bah. Higher learning my ass. What a waste of time and money University was.
Take your free iPod and your PhD in "Dragonball Z cartoons". People like me are too busy busting our humps to keep the world working.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
Go for it, you will soon find out that you will pay more for tuition and classes than shelling out cash for an iPOD.
*boggle* By whom?
Get over yourself.
You sound like Frank Grimes from the Simpsons. For more info please see the following
