NowDoYouBelieve Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 It is my belief that RIT's standards are not what they once were. For as bad as I was at engineering, there is no way, NO WAY, I should have lasted as long in engineering as I did. I should have failed out after my freshman year. And then when I finally went on co-op, they wouldn't even let me do simple things like operate a lathe, because frankly I didn't remember how. In three years of engineering at RIT I used a lathe and a mill for one class. And it was my first quarter of my freshman year. Everything after that was completely worthless, and so were the teachers "attempting" to teach us. Half of my teachers were adjuncts who had full time jobs and no office hours. And they also had no idea how to teach. My insufficiency in engineering was completely masked by the fact that a majority of my classmates struggled equally as much, but for different reasons than myself. RIT's retention rate in engineering is not bad because their programs are difficult. The retention rates are bad because the programs and teaching staff are of unacceptable quality. I've heard similar horror stories from a few of my friends who are freshmen and sophomores at RIT. Almost every single one has expressed a desire to transfer, and some have already pulled the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ofiba Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 You realize that Detroit might be the best team in hockey, and that the Sabres played their a**es off right? Oh, I forgot, whenever they lose it was because they weren't trying hard enough. Heck, we had just as many shots on goal as they did, which almost nobody does against Detroit. As long as they try next year, they'll win all 82 games easily! Amen. Question their effort in the first 2 periods of the Jersey game, but not against Detroit. They left it all on the ice. They just got beat by a better team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest, not so much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saudi Arabia Rob Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Another penalty to kill the momentum built up a few seconds earlier. Ouch. You'd think they'd be leaving it on the ice right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dragon and Tiger are Asian tattoo images. Ryan said he is too much of a wimp to get himself tattooed, so he had them put on his helmet. And Matt Man is in honor of his nephew/cousin (can't remember which) that died, but he is still in his heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foligno's Nose Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 so the Sabres can't drop any points ???in their last three and the Flyers have to sweep the Rangers (plus, another Florida regulation loss or two OT losses) for the Sabres to stay in it. We can still win in OT or a SO right? The dropped 'loser' points will not affect the standings as far as our playoff chances go. ...or am i wrong? Anyways, just enjoying the TSN broadcast tonight (even with the Sabres playing). McGuire and Gord Miller are my favorite hockey broadcasting tandem. Ruff was reported to be all over Roy for the giveaway in the early going. Nice presentation to May for game 1000. Congrats. And to those guys with the misplaced RIT conversation: $27,624 a year for tuition??? Pretty sad to hear that about the substandard teachers.
