re: LSU has no idea how to help students

Similar thing happened to me in what was supposed to be my final semester. The University had switched tracks midway through my junior year, adding some classes and dropping others; however, they still offered the old classes to those that were over 3/4 of the way through their coursework so they could complete on schedule.

Well, I meet with my advisor to discuss what classes I need to schedule and when (because some classes were only offered once a year). He says, "You need this, this and this. Take them here, here and here." So, I go with it.

I take a semester's worth of courses only to find out he was using the new track instead of the old when he helped me make out my schedule. I wasted a semester taking courses I didn't need and missing the opportunity to take the ones I did need.

He tried to make up for it by giving me two independent studies that counted towards my requirements, but I was still a semester behind and graduated in the winter instead of the spring.

It was partially my fault, I'll take some of the blame, but, damn, the man had been helping me plot my coursework for four years. I trusted him to know what was required.

LSU SUCKS DICK

So does the football team.

They’re gonna be lucky to finish last in the SEC.

LSU may never do it, but it has happened at other colleges... I took a few classes where I was the only student. Smaller school, though.

Perhaps a single section of a single class, but not when there are other sections available (which it appears there are). That's a waste of resources I wouldn't expect any school to allow.

What's worse is LSU doesn't give a frick. As long as they keep getting tuition money from you, they're all good and jolly. That's all they care about is making money, just like any university across America unfortunately.

moodle? who came up that bullshite?

The frick are you rambling on about

I went on the first day, but no teacher nor any of my classmates were in the class

I had a similar experience. Except it wasn't the first day....it was the final. And it was like 3 classes. I showed up to take the final.....no one there. I mean, I hadn't been to the classes in weeks, but no one came find me and tell me that the final was going to be at a different class room at a different time. I failed all those classes due to LSU's lack of communication. I was easily going to pull out a D when I aced those finals. Never trusted that school to be helpful after that.





In all seriousness, that did happen. I was a lazy POS and took a semester off while still paying tuition and severely hurting my GPA
