[QUOTE="Supersizethatorder-mutt, post: 48086, member: 435"] WOW !!! I THINK----I HOPE---Tech isn't like that. It's interesting that "Introduction to Dance" (or something like that) was mentioned, because that is one of the courses that was included in the official list of jock courses offered at Stanford, a list that was uncovered and disclosed by a student newspaper there. As soon as that newspaper uncovered the existence of that official list, it quickly disappeared, but you know it's still in existence. If a school with the standards that Stanford has has lists like that, you know that the real football factories also have them. When I was at Tech, there was one so-called "jock course", and nearly every student took it at some point because it was an easy A. That one was textiles engineering, which required a "paper" at the end of the quarter which didn't involve anything more than cutting out magazine articles about textiles and putting them in a binder. Since then, I know there has been the so-called "rocks for jocks" course in meteorology; are there any more? Overall, I just don't believe that Tech has ever been guilty of simply pushing kids through 4 years of non-work and giving them a degree, so the existence of a couple of easy courses doesn't really bother me. But if other schools have nothing at all other than easy courses, and at the end of 4 years a kid can graduate, then that needs to be stopped, and it needed to be stopped yesterday. [/QUOTE]
