eng-1000c-essay-3-invention-excersise1

For my essay i plan on doing a review of Goodfellas, the movie about the Italian mob and the hardships of it. I believe that many people misview this and it will be good to correct these views. i also believe that this is a must see movie even if you dont want to be a mobster but it is just a very interesting topic to see. I hope i will be able to do a thorough job reviewing it and that i can maybe change people’s views of it.

Spending Extra Money in Class

April 22, 2008

My business law teacher requires us to read The New York Times everyday and this can become quite a hassle.  Yes, it is true that the University provides free ones but at a limited supply.  Most days you cannot come across one because they are gone well before most people have a chance to get to them. Also most people aren’t here everyday so they still wind up having to spend money on these stupid newspapers.  This wouldn’t be the worst thing if it wasn’t on top of two textbooks that we rarely even use for the class.  All of this wasted money from students who have to pay tuition as well and all of their other expenses is a ridiculous thing to demand. The papers cost $1.25 which adds up.  This practice should be stopped.

Teachers Who Come late

April 22, 2008

Don’t you hate sitting in class and its 5 minutes after the class is supposed to start and you are getting happy because the teacher has not shown up yet.  It is the best feeling in the world.  Then that door starts to creek and you get this sick feeling in the pit of your stomach.  Mentally you have already prepared for class to be canceled and you cannot imagine sitting through another monotonous class of lecture.  You look up at that creeking door, which somehow seems to open ridiculously slow, and you see it is a student.  Your heart jumps out of your chest and you are now relaxed again, but sure enough right behind that student walks in the teacher.  She acts like nothing happened and just welcomes the class like its another day.  Well it’s not.  She has now ruined every student in that classes day.  There hopes were raised just to be let down.  Its not right to play with the students emotions like that.  if you are going to be late do not bother coming at all.  I even had a teacher last semester who was over 30 minutes late so everyone left. We found out next class that because everyone left she was pissed and decided to give a pop quiz so everybody got a zero.  There should be a time period that if the teacher is later than that the class is permitted to leave.  We all have tons of work to do and do not have time to sit around waiting for the teacher. Teachers should be courtious to their students as they, or most of them, are to the teacher.  Most of us are here everyday in our seats on time waiting for class to start. the least that the teachers could do is be there as well when class starts.  Teachers should stop being irresponsible and make sure they are not late for their classes.
