"Sorry, no dorms yet but..."

I have tests in all my classes in the next few days so I thought it was a good time to take a quick survey of what you want to see of coursework at MIT (maybe it's not, I don't know, I'm running on empty here...). I probably won't take my SLR to snap away clickclickclick during lecture because that is pretty obnoxious when a professor is trying to speak but it depends on how shameless I am that day. Most likely, I will borrow a small, discreet digital point and shoot of the latest technology. The pictures will be slightly crappy but not obscenely so. Yeah, so that's the plan. Of course, it's been 2 years since I was a prospective student and I don't remember what sucks and what doesn't. So, if this idea sucks, say so, if you like it, say so. Also, input on what classes you'd like to see most of what classes you'd like to see as little of as possible will also help. If you want to see the kids sweating it out about to take a test (it's pretty funny if you're not one of the kids) I could do that too.

So without further ado, my classes this semester-

Unified Engineering - Materials (16.001/2) -- test tomorrow 9-10
Vibrations and Waves (8.03) -- test monday 2-3:30
Relativity (8.033) -- test tuesday 2-3:30
Unified Engineering - Thermodynamics (16.001/2) -- test wednesday 9-10

(minus photo. you'd seen plenty of photo already.)

Hey..I think is a very interesting idea! I would like to see pictures of your class vibrations and waves. It seems like a cool class overall! Well I am a prospective student ( I applied EA and nervous as I can be), and I think that it is a pretty awesome idea...ohw wait I said that already!

Posted by: Anjanie Sriram on November 16, 2006 05:11 PM


That idea sounds awesome. Maybe a picture from all the classes would be great, especially what the class looks like. thanks for the insight!

That would be sweeeet. O yes, if it's not too difficult, is it possible that you may take the pictures of the students as well because I want to get a sense of how many students are usually in a class and the effects on the student of after attending a MIT course.

Dear Lulu,

I like your idea. I heard 8.03 exam1 is pretty difficult. Maybe you can take a snap on the faces of students taking the exam2. :)

BTW, I thought the test time of 8.03 is either 1:30-3:30pm or 2-4pm on next Monday. You may want to check it out again.

You will do well on all the exams - I believe.
Good luck....

Fred-

lol yeah. that's good to know, thanks.

Posted by: lulu on November 16, 2006 08:24 PM


Lulu, good luck on the tests. I'm sure you'll do fine. Which ones are your favorite classes?

I would like to see photos of the classroom too, just not on test day. I don't know, maybe it's the cynical New Yorker in me, but digital cameras on test day? That is like ummm, eating chocolate cake on a diet...cheating. =')
Now don't get me wrong eating cake on a diet isn't exactly cheating if you budget it in, and bringing in a camera on test days doesn't necessarily mean cheating either, but oh the possiblities! Could you imagine?! I say leave the camera for the classroom for the following week, after the tests.

I would love to see the dorms too. I have no clue what the dorms look like and that would be awesome to see. And no doctoring the photos, I want to see messy rooms...I know they are out there!

Relativity please. Would like to see how MIT tackled that sort of a topic

Posted by: Sarab on November 16, 2006 10:07 PM


I'd like to see pictures of the Unified lab

Posted by: ananoymous on November 16, 2006 10:39 PM


Unified Engineering!!! Please!

Posted by: Zaira on November 17, 2006 12:51 AM


Unified engineering in thermodynamics sounds really interesting. Haha, pics of students about to take the test would be cool too. Good luck on your exams!

Posted by: Jay on November 17, 2006 02:35 AM


That's a good idea. I'd love to see pictures not only of tests but also of norml regular classes. And for the test Unified Engineering would be great.

Good luck Manuel

Vibrations and Waves (8.03) and Relativity (8.033) please. Class photos would be great. I forget what my kid looks like and he's in both with you. Thanks for doing this.

Hi Lulu, its Kavita!!!

Your blog is awesome (and your idea rocks, esp about photos of kids taking tests and Relativity and dorms).

Can't wait to see the pics...

Posted by: Kavita Mistry on November 19, 2006 11:08 AM


i feel lost

Posted by: dama on November 20, 2006 08:54 AM


you're kinda weird, aren't ya?

Posted by: lulu on November 20, 2006 11:31 AM


I was just about to suggest taking some pics of the crazy 1E frosh (and moi, the renegade Tetazoan), but then realized that a photo of Phil Engel in his boxers might show up. That might scare the prospectives.

Posted by: Larry Velazquez on November 20, 2006 03:35 PM


no

Posted by: dama on November 21, 2006 12:47 AM


Yeah, there sure are some interresting people on this blog, Lulu ;)

By the way, do MIT students get Thanksgiving off, and what are you going to do for Thanksgiving? I've been dreaming of pumpkin pie for the last three days and I can't wait...with whipped cream...a glass of milk...

Posted by: kavita on November 21, 2006 04:41 PM


great!

Posted by: george on November 21, 2006 08:49 PM


O yeah,
it's my firm blief that what kavita have said is true.i'm a true man and a gentle man .
ah,kavita is a cute girl ,too;)

I'm in Harbin, HLJ, P.R.China now,
6259.50 miles between my room to MIT's Nipple House.
and you ?
my mean is where are you from, China,Vietna, or Thailand ?

A bosom friend afar brings a distant land near.
i feel i'm stdying in the Bottom of a well now,
but i never want to be a Frog ,
i long to see the world,
and then i find you in the other end of the earth,
feel very well.

Posted by: dama on November 22, 2006 12:42 AM
