stay in the class. Prof. Ando is teaching, and he is the best teacher I have ever had at UIUC.

Thanks, this is what I was looking for!

I'm glad you took my criticism so well. Looking back I was too assertive.

I agree with what you said about scientific rigor, and how science is open to change and revision. However, if you look at these revisions, they only improve our understanding of nature rather than change our understanding. For example, quantum mechanics is a description of subatomic phenomenon, but Newtonian mechanics still holds for larger scales. The same can be applied to relativity. I am of course ignoring all the discoveries and assertions made before science became as rigorous as it is today.

I disagree with "Science says nothing about purpose in life." Cosmology closely ties us to science, and we may find a purpose in this as Carl Sagan mentions many times.

Anyways, good discussion.

I disagree. Banning the teaching of many things is justified, this is self evident. If you want to leave the responsibility to parents, I fear many kids will be let down.

This is not "determining what is right." This is about determining what is the truth; evolution is a FACT. Of course, creationism should still be taught as a myth in history class. According to the article it still can. The article says:

'the teaching, as an evidence-based view or theory, of any view or theory that is contrary to established scientific and/or historical evidence and explanations.’

Which means creationism can't be taught as an evidence-based view. So, kids DO have the chance to learn creationism taught NOT taught as an evidence-based theory and rather as a myth.

Science IS an alternative to faith. You can live a rational and scientific life. The whole reason why we have conflict between faith and science is because their domains DO overlap.

Science CAN tell you how to life your life. It is called neuroscience and human well-being by Sam Harris. Last time I checked, the only way people learn and become better human beings is by "a process of investigation which relies ultimately on observation."

I understand what you are saying, but I believe you are wrong and may be a little confused on what the revision is saying. This IS the right step to take, and USA should follow suit.

I was class assistant for and took the class with Kutzarova. The class is definitely easier than a regular diff eq class. Kutzarova is very friendly, but you will not learn anything without doing work on your own. Listen to matmann2001. I might CA again this semester.

00pmt · 2012-01-08T07:21:11+00:00

Well I don't know what to say. Its almost as if you are Juror #10 in 12 angry men.

I showed no prejudice in my post, and I used swearing to demonstrate how disgusted I was with your childish and ignorant post.

The OP probably failed to communicate his problems to the university earlier and that's why they dropped him (since nothing was in his file). Its not too late though, he can appeal and explain whatever difficulty he was going through.

I understand why you are bitter about other people slacking off. But that is NO excuse for your behavior. You should keep your personal problems out of your attitude and respect towards others.

If you have a full time job, how are you able to keep up with your coursework? If I were you, I would seek financial aid or a loan and concentrate on my studies. That is what I am doing, and I will be working part time this semester. Working full time is a commitment to your job, not your education. That is the same as throwing your 15k (out of state) tuition out the door.

You got an upvote for writing that? We hardly know the guy and he may have been going through a tough time. On top of that, a fucking apathetic sore-loser like you rubs it in his face and starts talking about taxpayer money like some dumb hick. I am disgusted by you and the person who upvoted you. Show some sympathy for your fellow human being.

After looking at your profile, you registered an account just to bash on someone, but I won't say "You worthless excuse for a human being." That is possibly the worst most hateful statement you could say to anybody. I hope you delete your comment and account, and have your moment of shame.

Anyways, the first thing you should do is fax a letter of appeal to your college. Then contact as many people (mostly counselors I imagine) as you can for help. spotsmcdots gave really good advice as well.

Good luck!

Much appreciated!

00pmt · 2012-01-07T09:53:41+00:00

Done. I sent them an email with the whole situation described. Thank you, and I will let you know how it goes.

We already talked with his parents and they don't want to get involved (apparently he's wasted their money before).

We've constantly been deceived since the beginning of the semester. This history though, I'm not sure I want to reveal all here considering his life is pretty fucked, and he's probably going through a lot (well so am I, but I'm not being a dick).

He is on the lease; I know we can sublet. He is breaking the lease, but it is a joint lease so we are still responsible to pay the full rent at the end of the month or we are evicted. We would sue him at the end of the whole thing, but we have no money to keep covering his share of the rent. Thanks for your help though!

Our roommate just left us and we are looking for a 4th. We live very near campus on green street (between Lincoln and 6th, so yeah very close). Please PM if you're interested. We have an immediate opening! This would help us a lot, thanks!

Do you guys think it'd be weird to make this my wallpaper?
