### is wrong with our students
Dec 3, 2013, 8:29 PM
|
|
The attendance tonight is pathetic. I never missed a home basketball game as a student and some of those were bad teams.

Bingo. I have two projects and four finals between now and next Wednesday. No offense to the basketball team but that is not something I am worried about right now.

Bull #### excuse if you can't take a few hours out to support the Tigers then you have bigger problems.
Mainly being ###### at time management and being a slack ### all semester and not actually learning the material.

How about you come back and do the work for me then chief? Sorry I pay for my own education. I have plenty of time to enjoy myself on the weekends, not the week before finals. You have a problem with it, I'll go pick you up a student ticket and you can take my place.

What was your GPA and your major?
I have no doubt that you were a successful student back then but no need to tell the young student BS.
If he is a chem major then he probably has no time for any game. Probably has 3 science labs a week and classes taught by chem teachers who are too smart for their own good. Probably is only getting 1 or 2 hours of sleep as it is if not getting ready to pull a few all nighters next week. Now if he goes out partying and drinking between now and the end of finals, then no excuse on his part for sure.

And a final in that class exactly a week from today. I also have Chemistry and Physics exams Wednesday of next week and a chem lab research paper due tomorrow.
Sorry I prioritize the biggest grades of my semester over watching clemson play SC State.

Yes we can tell you are really focused on those finals right now since you are on tnet. Once again if you can't fit a 3 hr block of time into your week then you have one of two problems you slacked off all semester and are trying to cram in everything at the last minute or you flat out have no time management skills.

You are making the correct choice.
People should try and take Organic Chem, Analytical Chem and a Physics all in the same semester.
Clemson won the basketball game anyways

Heck, GPA didn't matter to me when I was in college.
College is where you learn life lessons. College is where you learn how to learn. College is where you learn work-life balance. College is where you go to football and basketball and baseball and soccer games College is where weekends start on Thursday night!

Finals being next week shouldn't be an excuse
Dec 3, 2013, 9:03 PM
|

These games are 3 hours away from studying, and they've been on the schedule for some time. The fact is, if you're not going and you don't have a test tonight during the game, then you don't care that much.
Most of us have been to college and know that there's plenty of time for a bball game the week before finals. Sack up, students.

What a fun team to watch. It has been a while since I enjoyed a Clemson team play as this one does. If you are a student and you are not supporting this team, you are letting a lot of people down ...especially yourself.
So get off tigernet if you are so concerned about exams

There's plenty of time
Dec 3, 2013, 9:10 PM
|

I graduated from Clemson in 2007 with a double major and took more than 20 hours for three semesters, then went to grad school at The University of Chicago. There was only one time when I couldn't go to a game because of academics, and that was because the game was during the class... And I still went to the game late.

In some ways, I suppose
Dec 4, 2013, 12:08 AM
|
|
But I probably had to read and write 5 times more than any engineer. My guess is engineers probably had a lot more homework and had a much more difficult body of concrete knowledge to learn, but try being assigned ~ 1,000 pages to read in a couple of weeks or having to write 40- 60 pages that aren't just reporting quantitative research for your finals. It's very time consuming, and it required a lot of prioritizing of my time to get to some of the sporting events.
But I never really thought about just not going to a bball game unless I had something to do for the next day that I hadn't gotten done. I should also point out that what most of us are arguing against is the idea that it's ok that almost no students showed up to the game "because finals are next week," not that any particular student didn't have a good reason to miss the game.

basketball game except for Duke & UNC (because I didn't camp out for tickets and the bandwagon Clemson fans trumped me for those games).
Graduated in 4 years, with minor in mathematics with a final GPA of 3.4. Really no excuse to say finals are next week to not go to the game.

2012 grad here. I missed several games due to academics, but you bet your ### if it was football I would have made time. Quite frankly, no one around here gives a rats ### about basketball. Watching a snoozer scstate basketball game just isn't high on anyone's priority list. Nothing wrong with that. If it was a major team or ACC play that's a different animal, but let's have realistic expectations.
