The art school is actually it's claim to fame. Lately the school of architecture is well regarded since Shigeru Ban one the pritzker prize and all.

Are you one of those idiots who barely scraped through HS and had to pay full tuition for whatever shitty school you got accepted into or didn't decide to go because you realized you weren't motivated, dedicated, or had any chance of succeeding? How does it feel to know you're not part of the masterace that gave more than two fucks in HS, got a/some nice merit (or need based, both are good) based scholarships from a choice college you applied to, and are now attending it with only a few thousands or perhaps nothing to pay back after finishing your studies? Knowing full well that if you do everything correctly and try your best you can pay it all easily?

Well it's not like art history is an illegitimate field or something, it's just that there's no point in doing a degree in it unless you get the degree from a place like Harvard.

I just graduated from here. I went to Centre college for a year, but I couldn't handle the liberal arts environment. UC's department wasn't really that great for my department, but there were a few really helpful professors that took a lot of interest in me. They're helping me revise a few essays for publications. I felt really fortunate finding faculty so involved at a state school.

My first year of college, I went to Centre College. I couldn't handle such a traditionally liberal arts college, but the demographics there were skewed in all kinds of fucked up ways, so maybe I would have enjoyed other liberal arts schools. 53% of the student body was on a varsity sport team, and there was nothing to do around there but drink, which is fun, but it got old fast. I made really good friends there though.

Dr. Stark teaches Sociology of Religion, in the Sociology Department, with, I assume time in the Religion department as well. I pretty much stayed away from both departments during my time at Baylor. My only real experience with the Religion department was during my Christian Scriptures and Christian Heritage classes.

I DID have the great privilege of taking an Oxford Christians/Inklings class under Dr. Ralph Wood, who is fantastic. I believe he's a noted Tolkien scholar, and we read The Lord of the Rings, The Screwtape Letters, War In Heaven (Charles Williams), The Nine Tailors (Dorothy L. Sayers). It was a wonderful class.

The Nine Tailors is still one of my favorite books.

Then in that case we are in agreement, for the idea of a paid degree in art or film sounds absurd to me.

MAt 319 isn't that hard if you read the texbook. if it doesn't make sense you need to reread it slower.

mat 310 is babyshit compared to 319. matrices eigenvectors and ranks and rank nullity blah blah blah

go to every class and recitation (especially 319's double recitations) no matter how excruciating it is. write down everything in lectures (except maybe some examples of shit you already understand) half the battle of these classes is rote memorization of the facts. the other half is understanding how to problem solve using those facts.

if you don't get something, go to the office hours. I'm serious. office hours from the professors are always helpful to me.

there is a high likelyhood that you can get some if not all your textbooks for free online if you google hard enough

Art and literature are disciplines that have historically been practiced by the upper class. Only recently has an 'art degree' become a thing, and now the bourgeois want in on it even if they can't afford it. It's almost a luxury discipline. If you have to take out loans to go to college, there is no way in hell you should be considering anything to do with art unless you're a prodigy of some sort. But if the education is to be paid for in full and you are someone who has a passion for art and for contributing to the cultural pool of your nation (and beyond), then I cannot see why denying someone that path would be advisable. If all else fails, professorship or education is always an alternative avenue.

A sound society comes before the generating of cultural work, and I think any first-world nation qualifies as a sound society in which cultural work should be done without ridicule. It is, after all, the kinds of art in our respective communities that engenders culture and in turn distinguishes you from me and us from others. It provides a unique identity that globalized brands, medicine, and technology cannot. And it is therefore important to protect.

Okay thanks. I got both textbooks online and I've been looking them over during the summer because /sci/ likes to hype it up, "topkek calculus is babby math wait till you get to real math".

If I wasn't such a slave to capitalism I'd be a math / philosophy double major but instead I'm math / applied math. Do you plan on going to grad school?

I genuinely don't know if this post was meant as a joke but very similar thoughts do crop into my head occasionally and I feel awful guilty about having applied for the degree sometimes. If it helps I will probably end up doing some menial minimum wage job once its finished

Nightlife ends early though I must say. I don't know about Edmonton though, I'm just going there for school.

Here in canada a lot of entry level jobs in any field will say education requirement "undergraduate degree"

store managers, banks, media companies, advertising, office jobs. The lady that sorted out a loan for me and set me up with a credit car studied english in school.

So you might as well do literature, or an arts degree or w/e you are interested in.

Do people not know this lol?

I do plan on going to grad school. for secondary mathematics education. high school teacher is my projected career path.
even linear algeba is baby math. Linear operators are the coolest part.

I'm probably adding a philosophy minor just cause i like it and have the credit space

psshh I don't think the working classes worry to much about younger ppl doing what they like in school. They probably wish they could too.

Yeah there might be some hardcore marxists around, or those weird "if you go to uni you think you're too good for our class' shit, but fuck that.

Everyone has time to help the class struggle and do their own thing too

Alright there's truth to this but a) doesn't the fact someone can't afford it suggest they're not so bourgeois after all and b) what if they aren't studying with the intention of creation? cause that's gonna be the case for a lot of people, especially in philosophy. do you think its worth it just to educate others (the majority of which will do the same thing) on the off-chance one student out of 30 might be a genuine artist? I ask as someone intending to study theoretical film studies (i.e. no practical element) who will most likely go into a career in education. I mean in a sense I believe that all aspects of existence have potential for influence and therefore are worthwhile and worth utilizing but I keep wrestling with the idea that any influence I have as a professor (directly related to my work as a professor) will just lead to dead ends
>>5247331
I knew that but I'm kind of wary about having faith in it just because I know so many people that consider art-related degrees worthless, would these people even be accepted for the jobs if their employers don't take their degrees seriously?
>>5247342
I just think I wanna be serving the greater good as much as I can and to me that involves doing my bit to thin the class divide and diminish poverty. I feel I have a responsibility for my career to reflect that and the first step to a career is education

I go to the philosophy club. it's a bunch of philosophy weirdos bloviating about random shit. The main guy who like really united the group graduated though so it might change a lot.
I actually have had loads of fun some of the weeks I went. I happened to know like 2-3 of the people in it beforehand though. Only started going last semester

and to answer your other question, no. However David Foster Wallace is infamous on this board for being the Author of Infinite Jest, a gargantuan novel with over 300 footnotes, and a very good one at that

but oddly enough, the book I recommended has even more. over 400, approximately 1.3333 per page. And I loved the book because it illuminated for me many topics gone over in MAT 319. Read it first if you can, it might give you a good understanding of 319 without using a mindnumbingly boring textbook.

Yeah, pretty often. I have a friend who lives in the gold coast and I see a lot of live music downtown.

I feel you on Hyde Park. It is so fucking boring. I'd live almost anywhere else in the city over HP, but I don't really have a choice for now.

>>	Anonymous Tue Aug 5 23:47:55 2014 No.5247395 >>5247371 So you'd recommend going? It'd be cool to have an outlet for philosophy shit besides /lit/. A girl bought me that book as a birthday gift, she thought I'd like it, but it's still sitting on my bookshelf. Thanks for the rec.

any degree you receive from a liberal arts college is a "liberal arts" degree. generally speaking, a liberal arts degree just means you were encouraged to undergo coursework outside your primary field(s).

I'd consider an engineering degree from Harvey Mudd a "liberal arts" degree for this reason.

Also, I know of many liberal arts colleges with programs that allow students to do liberal arts for 3 years then engineering at another university for 1-2 years and you graduate with a bachelors liberal arts degree from the college and a masters in engineering from the university.

Several NESCAC schools have this arrangement with Cornell and Columbia, in case anyone else wanted a slice of the best of both worlds.

It was in high school, she goes to Dartmouth not. If she didn't go bizzaro and jump to the Laurie Penny ship senior year she would've been a keeper.

But that's a good point the only girls I've ever shared classes with here have been hamplanets.
