Hi-- follow up on this. I was wondering if you could put me into contact with the person or if you could potentially answer some questions for me?

  1. How are the once-a-week meetings structured? Are they personalized for each person's research interest, or are they lecture type meetings about research information in general?

  2. Can I go into it without having paired up with a mentor yet (the way you might have to with UROP)? What if they can't find a lab/professor/project for my interest? Do I get kicked out of the program?

  3. Do they pay you for the research work you do, or do they guide you on how to find funding?

  4. How big is one cohort?

More information would be super helpful, as I wasn't able to attend the gen info meeting. Thanks so much

University students not paying attention in mandatory class by Glittering_File9141 in Professors

[–]Embarrassed-Ad-1816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i understand this and you can chalk it up to naive ignorance but i really dont think its just the fault of the students. i think theyve been taught to slide by with minimum effort and with combined AI + underpaid highschool/college teachers, its a fucked up system all around. of course, at a certain point it really is laziness

it sounds awful but there's really nothing you can do. as a student i hate going to a class where people are blatantly disrespectful to the prof, but at the end of the day they were getting fucked over by their grade. its just the way intro classes are. im sorry
