At the very least make token appearances for a day or two in case you have That One Professor who decided to be a dick about attendance policies. Like if a professor never shows up don't worry about being there the whole time but y'know. Nope all of mine were on the picket line and no substitutes. Plus two of my teachers told us we could skip and just read ahead or do online stuff.

I just don't know why community college is not emphasized more. I was looking at colleges for after high school, and the first thing I noticed was all the prerequisites that 4-year colleges in washinton had, and their price. I also never wanted to do all the testing needed to get directly into a 4-year school straight out of high school. A local community college branch was nearby, and I was nervous about living on my own in a dorm, so I chose a community college so I could transfer and have more time to adapt to a college lifestyle. There are a ton of 'common core' classes that every university requires in Washington state for someone to graduate, and a community college transfer let me get those classes done in a less stressful environment.

Dapper_Swindler posted:http://www.mcall.com/news/breaking/mc-state-universities-update-20161020-story.html Seems like one of the biggest sticking points is the state wanting to use more adjunct and part time professors while other professors are responding with "go to hell, that isn't acceptable." Which is kind of why I brought up ripple effects; a very real problem in the American college system right now is classes increasingly being taught by grad students or professors that are part-time teachers in more than one school. It was really only a matter of time before that system pissed off people enough to make this sort of thing happen. Posters complaining about ballooning administrative costs, increasing class sizes, and a decrease in tenured/tenure-track faculty kept cropping up. Meanwhile the university was destroying entire departments and only giving a poo poo about departments that were profitable (i.e., business and tech). I really expect to see more strikes or similar things happening in other schools. This is going to get messy.

So now i am worried about the aftermath of all of this poo poo. my guess is winter break is hosed and so are my credits.

Strike's over, apparently.  quote:The agreement includes pay increases and allows the state to reduce health care costs. The union had previously said the state wanted to cut wages for adjunct professors and have graduate students teach more classes, and those proposals were withdrawn.

good. my guess is a ton of loving pressure was put on them (the admin system, not the union) to back off there bullshit(at least for now). no one was taking the admin/states side in this, even the conservatives i knew thought the professors/union were in right.
