  14. Re:filler classes also have more cheating / essays on Students Looking For Easy A Target Online Courses, Where Cheating Is Easier · · Score: 1

    I'm not saying putting effort into being well rounded isn't important. I'm saying a two and a half month cram and then forget session does little this end. These classes are just liabilities to my GPA. It's hard enough to keep at my important subjects everyday and look for opportunities above and beyond class when I also have to practice singing "If I were a Rich Man" and write an essay on Taoism. I like to sing. I like Taoism. But neither is going to put food on the table.

    My situation is a bit different as someone in his mid 20's going to school. After high school I worked and lived on my own. I developed all sorts of personal interests, and I believe myself to be a well rounded person. I eventually found what I wanted to do, but to get the job I need a BA. So now I'm going back to school, and these filler classes are just hoops to be jumped through. Though I believe I won't have this problem after I finish my AA, and transfer.

  15. Re:filler classes also have more cheating / essays on Students Looking For Easy A Target Online Courses, Where Cheating Is Easier · · Score: 1

    As a college student I am sick are tired of "help you be a more well-rounded".

    The end all and be all of why I am in college is to get a job. Filler classes just get in the way of actually learning what's important.

  22. Re:Troubling signal, why? on Facebook Shares Retreat Below IPO Price · · Score: 2, Informative

    Facebook's earnings per share are listed on Yahoo Finance at $0.43. If the company were selling at $20 then the Price-to-Earnings ratio would be 46.51($20/$0.43).

    Personally that's still too high of a PE ratio for my investment style.
