That is certainly the way it should be. But, you aren't in the US. In the US, these SpEx bachelors degree programs are artifacts of the corrupting influence of NCAA Division I athletics. Neither college education, health care, nor professional certification are messed up in other countries as they are in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Totally agree with that. (And my nephew is currently studying exercise physiology) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 And Spring Quarter 2020 is over, as I post course grades with 14 hours to spare on the deadline. Nowhere near as bad as I feared at the outset, but it was sure obvious that I hadn't done things this way before. So, I was generous with grades (for me).

Pariah Posted June 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 Sometimes in my chemistry classes we use a solution of copper (II) sulfate, which is a pretty light blue color. It looks a lot like a certain flavor of Gatorade, in fact. And invariably, one kid will ask, "Can I drink this?" I always answer the same way: "Once."
