EDITORIALS The STING Staff Ifat First You Dont Succeed
Editor By Ed Hardy made when you retook the classes but only two or Ed Hardy Editor Editor three times This is compromise solution which Westly Hetrick Assistant
allows you to erase couple of mistakes but if
have several fail class quarter it will be reflected in heard people you every Staff Photography record complaining lately about one your Gonzalo Avila of Techs One idea have heard much discussion on is Southern policies Tom Crowell Joanne Byrd all classes the The policy am referring to is putting on pass/fail system Your Michael Cole PeteKang that of keeping failed classes grade in class depends tremendously on factors Andrew Newton Jack Silver on your permanent record even when you retake completely beyond your control such as what the class and make higher grde kind of teacher you have If you have class from Faculty Advisor If ever fail class the record of that failure teacher who goes into his classes with the attitude you Dr Thomas Wiseman makes an in then are stays on your permanent record forever and that No one my class you just doesnt make much sense Your permanent doomed from the start And there is no way you that to interviewer But the record is for potential employers to know what can explain job
classes you have taken thereby getting some idea pass/fail system eliminates that You can say The STING is published bi-monthly for the students faculty and learned this and that is all of what you know about your major Whether it enough to pass class staff of the Southern College of Technology The STING an official took you one or two tries to learn that material is that is really important publication of the Southern College of Technology The ideas ex what is the of track of the unimportant what counts is that you eventually Also point keeping pressed herein are those ofthe editor or of the individual authors did learn it classes you have dropped While people do drop and do not necessarily reflect the views of students faculty or staff classes because they are about to fail them they of Southern Tech or the University System of Georgia classes because overestimated Im not saying that some record of that failure also drop they how
is much could handle in because shouldnt be kept that is what your GPA for It they one quarter keeps track of how you are doing overall not just their work sent them out of town for two weeks ADVERTISING INFORMATiON because realize have terrible in one class and is therefore better gauge of and they they what kind of employee you will be teacher just to name few examples The local advertising rate of the STING is five dollars per column is few ideas Id like those of way of handling this to do what several These are just you inch for ads smaller than quarter and four dollars per and for page other schools do allow you to replace any excep in the Administration to consider you column inch for ads quarter-page or larger Ads for service and if like them tionally bad grades with the better grades you students to push for you professional organizations on campus are tree but run-date is not
