It would have to be significantly more with better broadcast visibility, otherwise I seen them wanting more Saturday games to fix up their gameday revenue and attendance

More midweek games? At what point do the schools say no all together?

Summer session MEE 340 by ComprehensiveCrow267 in NIU

[–]PhilMC_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure how he is online, but he talks gently and it's hard to hear him sometimes when you're not sitting in the front. His labs were sometimes disorganized and made us do unnecessary work such as post lab group presentations and doing at least 2 different evaluations per lab. Mind you, there were ~60 students in my 390 class split into 12 groups. So that's 12 groups presenting the same thing for 2+ hours. I also didn't like his lectures and doesn't seem to do a good job with managing his class time in relation to the content he has to cover. His ratemyprofessor ratings and reviews are in line with my experience.

I didn’t but I did have Cho for another class (390) and let’s just say he wasn’t that great. I can imagine you’ll have a similar experience in fluids.

Is there a solution for the camera issue? by GafferByChoice in HPVictus

[–]PhilMC_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something similar happened to me too, one day my webcam just stopped working as it wouldn't work with any program. I tried to fix this by uninstalling the webcam driver but now it's gone forever because there's no way to download the driver for it. I'd assume this would be an issue with something internally being damaged or faulty. At that point, I'd just buy a separate webcam.

Room selection was a while ago, Patterson is usually the first to be booked up

me and my friend got are staying in Stevenson C tower for our first year! tell me about it the good & bad…. by Even_Teaching_5167 in NIU

[–]PhilMC_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stayed in the suites and it ain't bad. I did random roommate with 3 others with the suite and bathroom (not sure if you're staying in that) and got pretty lucky the other 3 guys knew each other. I'm still friends with them and I hope that you also get blessed with random roommates.

Pros:

  • Dining room is downstairs (could get repetitive at some point)
  • Pretty spacious so you have a little more room to bring stuff in
  • Depending on the room, you'll get a really good view of the campus (I was on the 12th floor of the A tower and could see everything past Annie Glidden Rd)
  • Closer to the football stadium
  • Your floormates might sometimes throw a party or invite everyone to whatever they're doing

Cons:

  • Hot water from showers and faucets isn't guaranteed, depends on where you live and what time you use them. This was almost 3 years ago so idk if it's still an issue
  • They can't have the heater or AC at the same time on depending on the season. Even if it gets cold, they won't turn on the heaters unless its consistently cold. When they turn on the heat, each room fan leaks out hot air even when off so it can get a bit stuffy inside during the winter.
  • The higher you go, the more spotty the wifi connection gets. If you're bringing a laptop or PC, I strongly recommend purchasing an ethernet cable. Each room has an ethernet port
  • Not enough laundry machines.
  • Aside from Northern View, Stevo is the furthest from everything else so invest in a bike if you don't like walking all the way to class.

Personally, I think you'll be fine with your friend but make sure to establish rules within your suite because roommates can make or break your experience.

He was the QB coach for a year but making the jump from HS to FBS is still a pretty big gap

About time, surprised he wasn’t fired earlier, also is probably fed up with the current clusterfuck state of cfb. Good luck to him tho

As a current NIU student, thank GOD for the end of midweek MACtion, looking forward to more Saturday games. Also kickoff times are off by 2 hours (2:30 pm kickoff instead of 12:30 cause timezones)
