This second year at MSU for my wife has been a royal pain. The College of Engineering requires my wife to be a TA this semester. Thats all fine and good. Her professor requested the College to assign her to one of that professors classes. This ensures that the professor can get quality time from my wife in the research lab as well as TA’ing her class. So the college assigns my wife to said classes. WITHOUT CHECKING MY WIFE’S CLASS SCHEDULE! So what do you know…a scheduling conflict. So my wife goes in and asks the College to help resolve this problem. College replies (sort of) that it’s her problem, she agreed to TA. And then they make the wife do a lot of grunt work to fix a problem that really wasn’t her fault. So a note to future students of MSU – be very wary of the College of Engineering – its not at all like what you think it should be. There’s a bunch of other little niggling things about MSU but this one so far has taken the cake.
