True.
I found another thing. The school isn't taking action against Jeff, and his mother is a teacher...

Not bad, actually. Honest question though if youre good at math and enjoy it why didnt you pursue a badass engineering degree like me, bro ?
His moms a teacher?
Explains why he's so messed up, tbh
If I could do it over again I would have triple majored in accounting finance and math tbh. At the time I started college the unemployment rate for engineering majors leaving college was sky high and it's only recently gotten better. I would undoubtedly have had an applied major (math, physics, engineering, etc) but I can't say I'm upset about my decision given the job I have.
They should start taking action against kids filming in the classroom and then posting on YouTube
Here is the kids interview..Lazy fat ass de-motivated teacher tbh.
Isn't this kid an 18 year old sop re though?![]()
He dropped out of school, then realized that he wanted to graduate and came back.... no wonder he's pissed, he finally started taking school seriously and found out you don't learn , tbh....
what engineering are you?
If he says Industrial, I'm going to clown his ass.
As far as the other discussion is concerned, I think English classes are overvalued by educators. When I first started working, I placed so much importance on expanding my vocabulary and using proper grammar and punctuation in all of my emails. I soon realized no one gave a damn. None of my bosses had the time to sit there and read through an entire essay whenever I had something to tell them. They had no interest in busting out a thesaurus every time they opened one of my emails. Many times, people just come off as pompous or pretentious when they try to get too creative with their writing. No one in your workplace cares that you know ten different synonyms for seemingly every adjective.
I think there are very few career fields where elaborate and creative writing is necessary. 9 out of 10 times, a direct and succinct email (or statement) is not only sufficient but preferred. Basic understanding of grammar, sentence structure and punctuation is really all that is necessary.
Probably, but he's owning up to bast mistakes. Have to give him credit for that.
People will say you're just an anecdotal example but this is 100% true in most real world jobs. At my first real internship that involved emailing my boss, I used to slave over word choice/grammar/etc. in every email I wrote to him and then he'd respond with a 1-2 sentence blurb that wasn't capitalized or grammatically correct but easily understood and got to the point which I figured out is what he wanted my emails to do.
Then I had my first business communications class and the first thing our teacher said was to basically unlearn all the bull they teach about fluffy introductions and waiting 3-4 sentence to actually get to the point or "thesis statement" because that's what business writing is about, getting to and expressing the point effectively without wasting the reader's time. That's what required English classes should all be about, how to concisely and effectively express your point in writing while instead they do the exact opposite by giving literature analysis assignments with required page minimums. Proper grammar should be taught but lets be real about how much time really needs to go into teaching people proper grammar.

So I checked the engineering requirements at good ole' UTSA and the only required math is through calc 2, they don't require any additional math
When you posted this doubting a math minor has taken as much math as a UTSA engineering major only required to take calc 1 and 2, what exactly did you think the requirements are for math minors? Did you think taking college algebrah was enough to make someone a math minor![]()
I took calc 1 and 2 and got an English degree![]()
loooooool mother in' utsa![]()
I find it strange/amusing that so many liberal arts majors (most of which end up going back to school) put so much emphasis on writing, grammar and the presentation of ideas, and how essential they are to effectively communicate in the business world. They don't realize how many immigrants come over to the US with only a basic understanding of our language and are coveted by employers for their technical skills and critical thinking. You see this in the medical field, manufacturing and finance. You have leading researchers in the medical field, and CEOs in manufacturing that cant get a verb tense right to save their life.
I'm glad you never use run-on sentences or fragments, know the difference between MLA and APA, and have the ability to write a perfectly structured, perfectly punctuated analytical report on Robert Frost's greatest works. Now go get your boss a coffee and don't forget to type out that memo he requested. Because we all know he's not exactly the greatest writer.
you gotta be ting me.
UTSA engineer taking as much math as a Geology major
what a clown school
not required to take multivariable
Do they even require differential equations or linear algebra? All of our ENGR programs had us graduated needing 9 more hours to have fulfilled a minor in Math.
Damn, who brags about their math background when the truth is so readily available online? Dumbass utsa engineer![]()
The district thinks he could have handled it differently. He thinks the teacher could handle it differently. Some feel the teacher is like a karate master that automatically gets respect, but teachers often don't warrant respect because they aren't actually teachers, they are just chaperones for the hour or so the kid is in their classroom. The teachers often treat class like a factory where they put in the material and the machine does it's thing, and the teacher takes a break while the process is happening. Even when I was a kid teachers would use class as a break session, grading papers from other classes instead of teaching the one they were in. It shows that a teacher doesn't have a firm grasp on the time required to teach effectively and that they often don't do anything job related at home. Teachers are teachers even when not at school, like cops are always cops and doctors are always doctors. Some see teaching as an easy degree and career, they loved high school and want to live the rest of their life in that environment, but they get there under a different role and isolate themselves from the students as much as possible.
I don't think a teacher needs to convince a student to want to learn, that's up to the parents, however a teacher needs to engage the class because someone in that class is listening and wants to learn, but they have to accept moving at the pace of the slowest person in class, and many teachers are fine with that since it all pays the same.
Yeah what kind of bootleg engineering program doesn't even require any multivariable calc. UA requires multivariable (they call it vector idk why) and Diff EQ for its engineering majors which is 9 units short of a minor as well (6 of which need to be upper level). Before FkLA tries to fact check me for why I took 9 upper level math units, that was an advisor up and I didn't need to take the matrix analysis class.
I wouldn't buy that for a $ [upper] 1.414 [lower] 0 Int xdx
