I was reading that there was a Student Guidebook to help students pick out courses.? The book explains student views on courses and professors.? Could you please help me get a copy?
I?m guessing you haven?t been frequenting this site lately, because if you did you would notice me constantly referring to this mysterious ?guidebook?. So:
- Shame on you for not visiting askastudent at least three times a day!
- Shame on you for visiting the site and not taking a second to scroll down and read the meticulously prepared, hilariously awesome posts.
- Shame on you! Shame! Shame! Shame!
- The document you?re talking about is the Assu Anti-Calendar. You can either follow this link, or pick up a hard copy from the ASSU office at Syd Smith, room 1068. The anti-calendar is basically a summary of the end-of-course evaluations filled out by students at the end of the session/semester. Some students use it as their bible. Askastudent, conversely, believes this lump o? criticism should be taken with a grain of salt.Some courses I found to be a kindergarten-level, mind numbing waste of time were praised by other students as having ?a high level of energy in class?. ?whatever that means. On the other hand, courses you might consider as challenging and inspiring are sometimes slanted for having ?too many homework assignments?. That said, the anti-calendar is the product of honest, anonymous student reviews, and can come in handy as another perspective on a course you?re thinking about. Personally, I find the most valuable piece of information in the anti-cal to be the list of ?Instructors who refuse to release their course evaluations? (you can?t find it online but it?s there in the hard copy, I swear!). And you can?t get more indicative than that. no sirree, Bob!
