[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 597419, member: 2784"] I'm not. I still have nightmares about the def bods professor just in from Greece to do a research project who opened the book at the start of class and started to read in very broken Greco pseudo English. I couldn't drop and graduate "on plan" so I had to go teach myself the course. Almost 40 years after the fact I still remember that one. And it wasn't the only one. Specific to that kid, I don't know the general requirements at Rutgers for english, math, science, etc., but I expect he had to take at least some of these which would be in english. Guess the athletic department paid for a certified translator for class and practice and .... . :rolleyes: But I also expect he didn't have to speak much english in his major of Africana Studies (actual major - looked it up). Bet they made exceptions for him to do it in french or any African dialect. End of the day, I saw overseas kids (mostly asian or middle east) come to Tech back in the dark ages - and some of them really struggled with the language but by JR year were "competent". I don't get why/how this kid isn't if he was participating in classes at all for 3 years. [/QUOTE]
