Do the Pace students pay more? No they don’t. Are they academically challenged or gifted? No, they are not. Then why are they given a clear advantage over classmates then? They are able to MediaSite all day long and from home and they get extra time with the professors to explain quiz questions. And there are plenty of them that go to class.
Also, what happened to the Q&A session the deans were going to have about the media site issue.
Again, It seems like the SGA has dropped the ball on this one. Are they good for anything other then planning the Beach Bash?

come on man, what does the SGA do??? They cannot even organize beach bash properly or the culture show. They know how many students are at this school yet they always run out of food and t-shirts. How big is the classroom 6?? How big is the student body?? They need to back to preschool and learn how to count.

Based on all that, you actually think they are going to fight for out mediasite! Give me a break!

Are only the most competitive applicants offered a spot? Are the pace students the only ones that can mediasite?

Almost anyone can get into pace. You need a 3.0 which isn't hard to get so its basically first come first serve. Everyone can mediasite, but those dang fruits in PACE can mediasite at the comfort of their own home and as soon as the class is over they have access to mediasite. The rest of the suckers have to wait til' 3pm to get it. Meaning if you start at 3pm watching class, and say you have 6 hours of lecture. you'll be done around 9pm which barely gives you time to review the stuff that day. I'm forced to stay up (4am :shock:) Really unfair, you'll notice it once get here.


(GOSH... i hate pace)

Why aren't you in pace? seems to be quite advantageous..
If you don't qualify as an incoming student can you join the next semester granted your gpa is then > 3.0 ?

you can print from your laptop... there's no need to go to the computer lab unless you dont own a laptop. There's a thread on valuemd that tells you how.

With the tuition at around 13k or so a semester........mediasite is more of getting our money's worth rather than a privilege......ross is not the only one with mediasite...

Have you tried attending classes ? Several students found this worked .....

Attending class is all well and good for the first 2 semesters, but it's almost impractical to try and attend all classes in 3rd and 4th and would leave you very little time to study.

There's just as many classes and free time in3 rd and 4th, it's just distributed differently..
