I am taking a continuing education business class at NYU. Well last night after we reviewed the teacher (the course is almost over), he gave us a 15 minute rant.
-Paul Krugman is a genuis and predicted everything. -More Regulation is needed -Reagan on was a bad period. We need to get back to the 70s -Barney Frank will help make things better -Community Reinvestment Act did nothing to this situation -Fannie & Freddie were only bit players
Then a girl in the class added she's so happy now since we are going from a stupid president to a smart president..
I am thinking of not going for the final class. I hold 2 masters so I don't need the class for anything just personal development. The last time I had a teacher like this, I got a 97 on the final and a B in the class.
He reads well off a teleprompter. What more evidence do you need?
Kind of like how you don't understand capitalization.
i was & still am as of today 4.0 only because i dropped the class
You should take a writing class instead.
What did you expect?
Oh, yeah! My geology lecturer was adamant that by the 1990's, most humans were going to be dead (or would wish they WERE dead), the remnant perched high on some ice shelf, huddled miserably around a small fire and dressed in the skins of whatever animals were still left to kill.
I have no doubt that he managed to become a loyal member of Al Gore's global warming brigade without putting undue strain on his credulity tendon.
Mr. niteowl77
You don't expect professors where you are to hold liberal points of view?
Nobody argued with the professor, including you?
What do you care what he says about the election? Does that affect his knowledge of whatever you hoped to learn from him by taking the class?
Could you have walked out during the rant, since you "don't need the class" anyway? If so, why didn't you?
Just in case you haven’t see this yet, email this article to them.

What does this mean? Is there a class within a class? How can you drop an F and get an A?
Thanks do know what you have done... Barney Frank in a relationship....
thats going to be at least $120 in lap dances to have that graphic suppressed in my brain housing group!
dang your eyes.
One thing that I wish for from the 1970s - I remember my mother getting a 10 year bank CD that paid 17% interest! Of course, the rest of the economic situation is what made that level of interest possible, so no, I NO NOT want to see THAT again!

I think “grand slam” was taking a satirical dig at his/ her college experiences.
When asked how they knew _that_ they would just turn beet red and walk away.
Ayn Rand had interesting things to say about those people...
Mark
“i need to seek counseling & my opinions are unwelcome on college campuses”
What school is this?
“My favorite profs were the “you don’t know anything is true” ones.
When asked how they knew _that_ they would just turn beet red and walk away.”
That reminds me of this...
Teacher: There is no such thing as absolute truth.
Student: Are you absolutely sure?
I had almost exactly the opposite experience a few years back in an international business class. The class was mandatory for both the B-School students AND the Intl Relations students. There was about a 3-1 ratio of B-school to IR.
The IR students came in spouting all sorts of stuff about the evils of Globalization, how the European countries were SO much more enlightened on economic and labor issues (read: socialism and institutionalized laziness).
The professor, with the help of some of us B-Schoolers, kicked their a**es. Much to their chagrin, since they obviously expected everyone else in the class to just automatically agree with them. It also helped that the prof had been a dissident in Eastern Europe during the Cold War and was an unrepentant capitalist and free-market believer.
One caviat, get a good friend to film it on a hand held digital cam quarter and then post the debate on You-Tube.
Weenies like this cannot stand the debate, put the heat on.
I am not taking classes at this point, but the last couple, when a canard was thrown out like the rich get loopholes I spoke up.
That's the only explanation that makes sense. The problem is that it was TOO realistic.
Ask Dr K why Dodd and Frank brought the entire world to their knees by violating the rule against "Moral Hazard" with the GSA?
Here is an instance were a Gov't Hybrid slipped through their own regs ( Act's of 33', 34' and 40') and put the entire world at risk.
A free market needs a modecum of Gov't oversight in order for it to be moral and fair. This beast and Hedge Funds have none.
The last time I’ve had that was when I was in undergraduate over 15 years ago. It wasn’t nearly as bad. It was mostly the feminist who made us write stories about female struggle,abuse,men etc. Although it was irritating. I was an English major.
