How difficult is it to effectively use pepper spray?
There’ve been three reported sexual assaults on my uni’s campus in the past week and I’m only taking night classes this semester. I either have to walk a mile through two construction zones or wait up to 30 mins for a shuttle in order to get to the only parking lot I could afford. I’ve never used pepper spray before, campus doesn’t allow us to carry weapons for self-defense (not that I’d know what I’m doing anyway), anyone have suggestions or insight? Is pepper spray easy to screw up? Thanks!
If you go to GMU, I do NOT recommend taking the IT 104 class for your requirement.
1.) It doesn’t teach you anything useful.
2.) The syllabus is condescending and lies to you about what “coding” is to make it’s “non-IT” students feel better about themselves.
3.) TA’s teach the lab and they don’t care if you learn anything or not, instead choosing to rush through the material so they can leave early.
4.) There’s obvious tension between the prof’s and the department. If I had dollar for every time my lecture professor said, “I don’t know, I’m just teaching what the department wants,” or “I didn’t design this lecture,” or “You don’t really need to know all this, just recognize it for the test,” I could earn back what I shelled out for this class.
5.) There’s no consistency or bother to make sure there’s consistency and accuracy.
If you need your IT requirement still, take a different class instead. It sounds like a good idea to take a class that teaches you about basic coding, website building, programs, etc. but that is not what you’ll get with this class unfortunately.
Your teacher talking about people in the past: Now they didn’t have internet and tv to distract them so
So my astronomy lab professor has old vet syndrome and likes to just ramble on and on and make random comparisons to the army that no one gets.
But last night he couldn’t get the computer to stop refreshing a program, so when the window popped up it would chime, but he just decided to ignore it and carry on lecturambling.
Well eventually he gave up and went over to the computer and said louder than he should have, “shut up, you damn communist!”
And in that moment I realized I too have old vet syndrome.

I know everyone rags on the “70-year-old professor with tenure” archetype, but I’ve honestly always had the best experience with those profs. Their syllabus and classes are simple and direct, you know what to expect, and they’ve always been the most forgiving with me when I come talk to them about late assignments because I work or commute. Also, if they’ve been teaching for over forty years then heck, they must REALLY LOVE what they’re teaching!
I mean they really only ask two things of you, respect them and do the readings.
>>> Has to write an essay, wants to do art homework.

Research Help
Hi, Friends! ♥
I’m trying to write a short (2000 words) research paper on what makes a “successful” fantasy world (engaging, memorable, etc.). Normally I could do this myself with my own analysis, but my prof wants to see between 12 and 15 articles, at least half of them being peer-reviewed, scholarly articles.
But I’m coming up short! I’m trying to focus on fantasy worlds I’m familiar with (Earthsea, Middle Earth, “Randland”), but I‘ll branch out if I can get some quality analysis.
So if anyone knows anywhere to look, I’d really appreciate it! Thanks so much!!
