What cheap ass college you go to tc?

I thought my college was cheap, lol.

I wonder if professors get paid to make students use clickers

I got lucky with one of my courses where I'm able to use the phone app instead of an actual clicker

I had to pay the subscription fee though

My college had a $500 advising fee every semester. I only went to the advising office 3 times in my 7 semesters.

I hate how they make you take courses that are completely unrelated to your major. Why did I as a Finance major have to take the entry level biology courses and for fucks sake Art 100? English classes and math basics okay that's understandable, but requiring me to take biology and an art elective is just inflating revenue for the school. I mean I get that it might be good for students who don't know what they want to do, so they can dip their toes in diverse fields so they can decide what they want. But for students who already know what they want to do, that's just taking advantage of them.

Language courses are actually fun and useful though. I know so many courses I have taken or will take though that will do nothing for me though.

In the case of Biology it would actually help if they focused on the core principle of evolution and gave kind of a broad overview of the history of life on Earth, along with humans' place in nature; you can get surprising insight into the world when thinking in those terms. Instead, they just teach all this crap about the cell that next to no one in the class will remember, especially since they don't provide a reason as to why a non-Biology major should care about something as abstract and irrelevant to day-to-day life as cellular processes.

Lmfao, they have a license for clickers now? What a bunch of pieces of shits.

Attendance and clickers really weren't a thing when I went about a decade ago. Only the chemistry class had it because of the 800 students being there and hard to keep track of.

Everybody just give it to their friends and whatnot for the next term. I get that they don't want used sales and whatnot but this is pretty shitty because it's obvious money is coming first.
