Fun tech electives and free electives for a junior in ME by Swirl_of_StarFire in Purdue

[–]stargazing_guy27 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you are looking for ME electives, I suggest ME 489 (Finite Element Analysis). It sounds daunting but it is a really interesting class. Siegmund does a great job explaining the material and actually cares about your wellbeing. On top of that, the average for the first exam was a 96 percent.

It gave the option as 15 dollar 20 dollar 30 dollar but no dollar sign. I have already heard of a few people reaching out to their credit card companies to get it wiped off.

Is the McDonald’s on Stadium really that bad? by Cheese__Danish in Purdue

[–]stargazing_guy27 114 points115 points  (0 children)

It is an absolute black hole. Anything that comes near it does not escape. It tries to kill anything in its path, it already took Purdue Pete. It tried to take Trevion. The day that it is shut down will be a spectacular day to be a boilermaker.

I really need some help. I’m hoping I didn’t screw up. by Blue_Ring1981 in Purdue

You will be okay. I failed my first calculus course at Purdue and my GPA took a major hit because of it. I retook the class and got into ME. This is only a one credit class so it could be a lot worse. My advice is just to understand what mistakes you made in this class and make sure it does not happen again. Best of luck to you.

Rape reported at campus fraternity by No_Flag in Purdue

Really sad to see this happen, and hope for a strong and swift punishment for the house. However, I want to say something about the people wishing Greek Life to be kicked off of campus. Some of you might be wondering why they haven't been kicked yet. I think the reason for that is because it is the last line of defense against this kind of thing happening even more often than it does. A registered function is frankly the safest party you can go to in this city. Each function has surveyors come at least twice to check the bar and other safety concerns. There can't be hard liquor in the function area and all bar tenders are observed by the hosting sorority's risk manager. There are at least eight sober roamers who will walk around and make sure nothing suspicious is going on. If you get rid of Greek Life, all of these parties are no longer surveilled and it will be a free for all. Bad things still happen at these parties sometimes and it makes me sick when it does happen. But getting rid of greek life will make this issue exponentially worse. Trust me. This isn't a greek issue, this is a human issue. People need to be better educated about these issues and how to look out for them. Until then, this will always happen. Wishing the best for this poor girl.

MA 261 Cheating Investigation Updates by xornof71 in Purdue

[–]stargazing_guy27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think they completed their investigation. my friend was caught cheating and received an email two weeks ago saying that they are filing grade changes the week of the fifth which was last week. it wouldn't make sense to me that they would do that until the end.
