From Institutional Investor By Imogen Rose-Smith Wearing jeans, sneakers and a backpack, his hair rumpled and his T-shirt turned inside out to hide the logo, Merritt Graves looked like any other carefree undergrad as he strolled across the bucolic Pomona College campus in Claremont, California, climbed the steps of the Carnegie Building and took a seat in [...]

Since 2002, I have run a course at U of T in which teams of senior undergraduate students do projects for clients from local startups, non-profits, university departments, and the research hospitals. Last year, as an experiment, I took on students from other universities as well, including Waterloo, Lakehead, Alberta, and Havana. Colleagues from several Canadian [...]

Rebecca Teti: and other lessons from theology bloopers | Tom Beaudoin gathered this collection of theology bloopers from undergrads at three colleges. Here’s one: “After reading Martin Luther, I am thinking of becoming protest. Protestant theology teaches “faith alone,” also known as ‘sola fillet’ or ‘sola feta.’” Never write essays on an...

Headline from the Trib. Certainly SIU has gotten better over the years and the law school is different from undergrad admissions, but you need the Guv to get you into SIU? Seriously? How the hell do you plan to graduate if you couldn’t do well enough to get in in the first place.

by Remittance Girl I, like Lisabet, first assumed that this was supposed to be a post about doing damage to your characters. I wrote an admirably long post on it, but realized it sounded like a lecture in my undergrad narrative class and that if I posted it, you'd hate me. So I've decided to look up the origin of the phrase - it came from William Faulkner - and indeed it's about cutting your...

I've been reading through this student's paper. It's a paper from his undergrad days, and now he's a grad student and talking about working on romance stuff. The paper is an okay undergrad paper. It quote mines, and doesn't think very theoretically about its questions, assumptions, or arguments, nor does it think about cultural contexts except in fairly simplistic ways, but it's okay....

... Yet that seems to be how things are done.I've had my problems, that's true. I got through my undergrad with very little debt, primarily because when I was at the University of Houston in the 80s, tuition for in-state students was still very reasonable -- that whole deregulation has failed once again as tuition has skyrocketed among the state colleges in Texas. But law school was a different...

... the trick, because a few Keystones later, I was flirting charmingly drunkenly with my favorite undergrad. I could sense he was nervous, given the tendency of high school girls to lie about their age, so to put him at ease I showed him my license (really). Once he had properly satisfied himself that I was legally 18, the sparks flew. Pretty soon we were passionately sucking face on the couch...

I have had very little scientific training, and no formal education in climatology. If you’ve read my About the Author page, you’ll know that I’m a student and aspiring climatologist. You might think I’m a university student, probably in my undergrad. I’m not. I’m going into my last year of high school. Many of my classmates [...]

(I did a measly three years of undergrad law, and those three years left me knowing that from a legal stand point, there is ALWAYS more – it’s pretty much 100% guaranteed.)

Your undergrad English professor probably taught you a fancy definition for this concept, but every novelist will tell you this: The premise is the cool thing your book is about. Simple, right?

As a postgrad in the late '80s, Neil Bowers made some extra book money by acting as a helper in the computing lab. At the time, undergrads were all working on a grindingly slow VAX-11/780, and Neil and his fellow postgrads were posted there for hands-on help. This tended to be focused at the start of the year, when there were groups discovering Unix and programming for the first time. One time,...
