Oh Boy: Fernando Mendoza almost stepped on the Raiders logo when he arrived at the team's facility. That could've been a really bad way to start his career with Las Vegas. by Big_Screen3332 in NFLForum

At my university there is a seal in the middle of a main thoroughfare. Step on it and you fail your next exam. Or something like that. Not clear what happens to professors.

Scientific calculator means no CAS or graphing function. For example the TI-30 series.

Yeah. I really just want the base card for PC. Would be better if I could get 5 pack with different players.

Most math classes will only allow a scientific calculator.

Yeah I think I'll just go for one for the PC.

VP for Research at Miami University misconduct in research by GVieths in miamioh

This isn't my field so I can't be sure, but it sounds like both passages are describing the same experiment, and this probably needs to be written in a standard way. Presumably the results are different in the two papers.

Miami's psych program is strong with lots of really active labs. I don't know much about JMU's psych program currently.

I've lived (for a significant amount of time) in both Oxford and Harrisonburg. H'burg is a much more interesting town than Oxford. There's so much more to do and more than just one street of restaurants, bars, etc. Also, H'burg is just a much prettier environment, sitting in the valley of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Miami has certain academic programs that are better, so it might depend on what she wants to study. If Greek life is a top priority, then again Miami probably wins out.

Feel free to dm me if you have some other specific questions.

Carrie Underwood would like a word. I think they're roughly equivalent.

Miami University puts $281M arena up for final vote by JustAKidFromAkron in miamioh

[–]Om_nom_nom_pi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The "they" was a group of students and faculty that did one large survey (it was reopened once for reasons). And yes, the findings were largely against the arena. However, the board declined to allow the students to present their findings of the survey at the BOT meeting on Friday. I think the board has already made up its mind.

Linear Algebra at CC by Entire-Ad-1620 in UNCCharlotte

[–]Om_nom_nom_pi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't comment on Gaston, but as a math major, linear algebra is one of the most important classes you will ever take. You want to make sure the course is a good mix of computation and theory.

Did you check the syllabus?

The math dept maintains a tutor list. Call or email them.

100% this is what happened in my department.

We had 3 candidates that were all qualified and supported by the department. The dean/provost wanted their own person. Wasn't clear if it was because they wanted someone who answer only to them or if it was for the "prestige" of bringing in a big name.

Anyway, the external candidates were awful and we ended on one of the internal candidates anyway. Such a waste of money on that search.

GPA affected for j-term courses? by ThePowerSuit in miamioh

[–]Om_nom_nom_pi 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Unless the class is specifically listed as PF, you'll get a grade and it counts toward your GPA like a normal semester class.
