11/12/02 Higher Learning What my return to college has taught me thus far: 1) Never, under any circumstances, give anyone the benefit of the doubt. If the lady in financial aid tells you your application has already been processed, and you are completely covered, do not believe her. Double check with someone else from financial aid, and then cross check that information with accounts payable. Likewise, if an academic advisor tells you that a certain course will fulfill your requirements, always, always, ALWAYS double check that information with another advisor. Furthermore, always double check that the information given by the English department coincides with that given by LAS and the Education department. Similarly, when someone tells you that they are going to do something, never, ever assume that they actually will. Always follow up and baby-sit said person or department until the task is completed. 2) Many academics are not interested in academic discussion so much as academic persuasion. Many promote this persuasion under the guise of discussion or debate, in that you are allowed to disagree so long as your argument does not completely undermine theirs. Your difference of opinion must fall within the boundaries of their overall beliefs.
I'm not sure I'm getting what I paid for.
