CLA 1001

"I'm not even thinking about the net's infrastructure. We help pay for that through our service providers. I'm thinking about the content. Who pays for that?For the most part, nobody does. " I'd say that's what the real problem with the Internet is. For one, Internet service providers are a bunch of con men. As Slate's Farhad Manjoo recently pointed out, American Internet speed is much slower than it's industrialized counterparts. They have the ability to provide faster service, but they choose not to. The reason they get away with that is that the business of Internet service is an oligopoly like just about every other American business. (I always ask right-wingers why can't I get Fios in my area? My cousin who lives two miles away has Fios, but the only DSL service in my area is Verizon DSL. Can't I even get Optimum DSL? Nope. What happened to the free market?) And this taps in a big problem: The only people really making money off of the Internet are service providers. But those people provide access, not content. They're only enablers. Think about it, I pay Verizon X amount of dollars a month to come to your site. But I pay you nothing. What if one day Internet service became like cable service? I pay Cablevision X amount of dollars to give me access to channels like HBO. HBO must be getting a cut of those profits, right? It's about time service providers and content providers got together. What would Verizon do if all their subscribers called up one day complaining that they've been baned from YouTube and Google?

I would have to agree, but can you tell me more on this?

hey can you contact me I'm interested in reading more on this.

Can't wait to get started, sounds like fun. Liberal education is my thing too! :)

so informative, thanks to tell us.

Disagree I only use de-oudourant under one arm, so I know what I would have smelled of.

Hi im Samantha Sosman, but most people call me Sam. I am from Madison, Wisconsin and I am really excited to be here in the twin cities! I have always loved cities and so I am happy to be at this campus!! This summer i worked as a counselor at a day camp near my home! I also went to summerfest to see Guster play which was awesome! The rest of the summer was also filled with hanging out with friends and taking family trips. So far my classes have gone well! I live in Centennial, and have a single, which was not my choice! I wish i had a roommate! But my neighbors are cool, and social so its turning out to be okay. I am excited to get to know all of you! See ya in class

I'm late to this thread, but I'm Kate Briggs, coordinator for Psy 1001--I've been standing up in front of you the last couple of days struggling with that new microphone. I hope you all continue to be enthusiastic about Psy 1001, and I sincerely hope Psy 1001 is a useful course for you!

It might interest you to know that my undergraduate degree was in Latin (with a Greek minor, of all things). And after that I studied Linguistics in Nigeria. My life was all about languages! But when I got back from Nigeria I wanted to return to Africa as a doctor. I did the pre-med requirements: physics, math, biology, chemistry AND Psy 1001. In the process, however, I fell in love with a Psychology grad student whom I met through REP!!! And so, instead of returning to do good work in Africa, I married and stayed in the US. But by this time, I had also fallen in love with the science and math of Psychology and thus started my next career.

You can see that I am a poster child for a liberal education!

Howdy! I figured I should maybe post a little something seeing as I missed our first day of CLA 1001. My name is Megan and I'm from Pelican Rapids, MN. My planned major was psychology but I'm already thinking of a bunch of other things which really excites me! I'm ready to explore the U and find out what is out there for me.

Things about me: I heart good music, Pink Floyd and Zeppelin to name just a few. I like to chill and go on adventures and don't really have any great hobbies in particular. Sleeping is always on the top of my list along with eating and coffee shops. I roll around campus by way of my razor scooter and consider myself a huge dork. I look forward to college life and can't wait for the intensity of finals week!

See you all in class!

Hi everyone!
My name is Alex Harkness and I will be the TA for CLA 1001. I am a junior majoring in Broadcast Journalism with a minor in Leadership.
Here is a little more about me- I spent the summer working as an Orientation Leader so I am sure that I have seen several of you before! I loved rocking the polo! Right now I am an intern in the office for the Assistant Dean. Also, I am very involved in my sorority. Traveling tops my list of favorite things to do. Over the summer I got addicted to Starbucks and road trips.
This is my first time assisting with a class and I am really excited! My office hours will now be from 12:30-1:30 at Java City (on the lower level of Blegen). Please stop by with any questions or just to chat. It would be fabulous to meet all of you personally! Or just send me an email or arrange to meet with me at another time. Enjoy your first week of school!

Hi, my name is Nathan Dehne and I am from Fargo, North Dakota. I am a huge sports fan, I also love to play any type of sport. I am undecided with my major. I am looking forward to meeting all of you.

Hi, my name is Sathya Schnell and I come from Evanston, IL. I'm looking at majoring in Microbiology. I spent my summer working at a summer camp in Fremont Michigan. I am looking foward to starting this class.

Hi, my name is Corey LaSalle and i am looking forward to starting this class. I just want to start getting in a routine. I love sports, i am a Major Twins fan, i love the vikings and the wild as well. I am undecided with my major as of right now. I am looking forward to coming to class tomorrow.

Hey everyone. I'm Ben Denkinger, and I'll be your section leader for psychology 1001. I'm a third year grad student in the psychology department. I'm hoping to specialize in memory systems and time perception, although we won't really cover that in discussion. Please try to mask your disappointment.

I've been a section leader several times in the past, and it is always a good time. In my part of the course we focus on only the most interesting and broadly relevant aspects of the field, so you should be able to find a number of connections between the material and your own interests. If you like psychology, for instance, almost 100% of the material will be up your alley. Other fields will most likely be in the 98-99% range.

As for me personally, I like to paint, play the electric banjo, read (both "literature" and comic books -- Nerds r teh cool!11!), and listen to a wide variety of music. I love it when people try to impress me with their knowledge of any of the above, especially when it involves music, so feel free to stop by and chat with me during my office hour. See you all on Thursday.

Hi! My name is Cody and i am orginally from Ellsworth, Wisconsin. I am excited for all my classes to start. This summer i spent a lot of time with my friends and boyfriend. I also had a part-time job. I was sad to leave home but excited for the new experiences.

My name is Katherine, but everyone calls me Katie. I'm extremely anxious to move in and get this whole new adventure started! I was at the U today to buy books and what have you! I got into Comstock and I got to see my room, so I'm excited! My summer was jam packed with work and play. I have two jobs- I work in the grill at a golf course, and I also host at Maynards Restaurant in Rogers, MN. Through out the whole summer, my friends and I traveled to different places, and had a ball! we went to Canada for a week, and Grantsburg, WI for a weekend. It was fun, but I'm looking forward to school. I want to be a pediatrician, so I know school is going to be a challenge, but i'm excited none the lessQ!

Hi, apparently i'm the first student to introuduce myself. My name is Jamie, I live in Mankato, MN and I'm really looking forward to the U. As far as this summer goes, I've been keeping busy with work, vacations, and spending free time at the lake. I'm anxious to get settled at school and fall into a routine. I'm the first to leave home so it will be interesting, but fun none the less! I love meeting new people. After hearing from the two of you I am a bit more at ease, at least about a couple of my courses. I look forward to meeting you and I hope you enjoy your last few days of summer.

Hi everyone! I'm the other instructor for CLA 1001 and also an academic adviser in the CLA Health & Natural Sciences Student Community. I was a student at the U in Psychology and Speech & Hearing Science. After I graduated, I went on to graduate school in Elementary Education and became a certified teacher. After working for a few years in the classroom, I'm once again back at the U.

One of the things that I like most about working with students is seeing all of you reach your goals, and pushing you to go even further than you dreamed you could! I love hearing when you're admitted to the program you've been striving for, when you aced an exam, or when you've had a cool experience while volunteering.

When I'm not in the office, I like being outdoors (hiking, camping and the like), playing the piano (I've been playing for...eek!...22 years now!), reading, cooking and going to new restaurants.

I hope that all of you will begin to see the U as a place full of many opportunities. Take advantage of them! You're here to take classes, sure, but you're also here to have many experiences outside the classroom. The U is full of ways to do that, from joining a club (Sweatpants Club, anyone?) to volunteering in the community, to research or internships, to meeting new people while studying on the Mall. Begin to explore and take advantage of all the benefits of a large school!

I'm an academic an academic adviser in the Health and Natural Sciences community . . . and one of the instructors for the Frames of Mind section of CLA 1001. I've been a CLA adviser for five and a half years. Before that I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Cameroon, West Africa. Maybe it's no surprise that one of the things I like about advising is the huge variety of study abroad options there are, including many related to science and health care. Outside of my job, I tutor English language learners at the community center in my neighborhood. I'm taking courses in teaching English as a second language. My hope for all first-year students is that you will enjoy the many surprises the University has to offer. It's a challenge to cope with them, but worth the effort.
