I love ross. I've been meaning to come down and visit him. seriously...he is one of the best profs you'll ever have.

as far as the term paper goes...don't expect a good mark on the first draft of your paper. I took 5 classes with him and the highest I ever got, or saw anyone else recieve, was a B+ (In comparative politics...take it! it's so good!). So don't worry...the first time I got a term paper back from him I got like a C+ or something...and I cried. He just does that...haha...he is a jerk.

As far as his exams...don't worry...if you have a pretty good handle on the pre-test you'll be fine. If you have any questions just phone him...he's gives out his home # for a reason...and he doesn't have email at home.

I work for the Gov't. Most of us took the day off in 'support' of all this sh.it.
There was no picket line when I got to work, but they got there 5 mins after I did. I left.

Other co-workers chose to stay and work anyways.
whatev. Sort it out peeps. I'll take a day off to spin music and clean my apartment. They can't stay on strike forever, I don't know why everyone is being so stubborn. Why don't they just sit down and work it all out

well study really hard, cuz generally the way to bring your mark up in his class is the exams. He's tough on the papers.

weirdly enough I got higher marks in his 200 classes...I think they were just a touch more interesting than canadian politics.

who is your soc. prof?

ewwww maidstone for soc. 100...boooooorrrriiiinnnnnnggggggggg.

I'm totally on his team as far as his ideology and such, but I took 3 classes with him and didn't learn a thing.

you should take soc. 106 semester with Francis Adu-Febiri. He is the best professor ever and honestly my favorite person in the entire world. heart He taught me more ( not so much content, but crazy critical thinking skills) than anyone else ever!

true he doesnt make much sense ill take about 10 pages of notes per class and its not even sensical(?)....but he does let us debate about stuff amongst each other...i guess ill know how ill feel after i take his first exam and whether there is a buncha **** that he didnt even talk about ...then ill probably make up my mind about him lol....

his exams are okay....but his ideological bias is definitely in them so just approach the questions as if you were peter maidstone and you'll be fine.

I went to school this am, my 830 class teacher was there. She got in **** from another teacher for going ahead with our class. We were more then happy to have it. My afternoon classes have been cancelled so far, have to call later to check. They had to cancel the first year nursing students midterm since no teachers showed up. I have a midterm on Monday and have missed the only 2 classes before it - due to thanksgiving and this strike.

From what I saw while on campus (lansdowne) classes are being cancelled all over the place. And if they are having classes they wont announce it cause then it is an "official class" which the teachers can't do. Best bet is call your teacher.

Good luck!
