A guest blogger shares some helpful
tips!

Etiquette for E-Mailing Your Professor

Professors are going electronic, which means that, in addition to the one-on-one office hour, professors are increasingly willing to communicate with their students by E-mail. Here are some things to consider before clicking the “Send” button:

Brain Teaser! April 10, 2009

admin — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 10:29:32 +0000

It’s that time again! The last brain teaser was pretty tough, so we’re following up with a *slightly* easier teaser this week. (Still pretty tricky if you ask me.)

Can your brain unravel this mystery??

You have 13 blue buttons and 15 red buttons inside a hat.

Outside of the hat, you have 28 red buttons.

Without looking into the hat, remove two buttons.

If

How do you feel about online study sites?

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 11:54:13 +0000

Judging by the fact that you are on one right now, I’ll assume you (at least kinda sorta) like them.

Did you read the news today?!?

If so, you’ll know that online study sites, à la Cramster.com, are the hot topic of the day.

Prove it? Sure.

Read the Wall Street Journal article here. I dig it.

The discussion at hand is how online study sites are chan [...]

Should college degrees be standardized?

admin — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 13:26:33 +0000

Yes. And no.

As those of you who follow this blog may know, I’m not a huge fan of standardized testing. I’m not totally against it, but I do feel that, in general, the process could be improved.

Today I think I’ve come across some standardization that I can support. But just maybe.

In an effort led by the Lumina Foundation for Education, three states will join f [...]

Student Resource Center: How to get a job… via twitter.

admin — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 16:35:14 +0000

Gee, I love Tuesdays. So much, in fact, that I’ve decided that Tuesday blogs will be chock full of goodness.

Today, I introduce to you: The Student Resource Center.

Nope, it’s not actually a ‘Center’. But it is a place here on the Cramster blog for finding and sharing helpful resources.

And it will be here every week.

The four-day school week

admin — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 11:19:51 +0000

I’m sure some students think it sounds too good to be true.

With schools facing budget cuts, some districts are implementing a four-day school week to save money. How much money? Annual utility costs can be cut by 10 to 15 percent by simply eliminating one school day each week.

It’s a great idea. But not a new one.

In the oil crisis of the ’70s, and the gas crun [...]

Role reversal: Colleges fear student rejection

admin — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 14:51:36 +0000

It sounds crazy, but it’s happening.

Usually, it is the hopeful student that fears receiving a dreaded rejection letter from their choice college.

For some schools, the tides have turned.

Due to a tough economy, community colleges are seeing higher enrollment, and more and more students are shying away from costly, private 4-year institutions.

This leaves 4-year institutions [...]

Happy April Fool’s Day!

admin — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 11:33:32 +0000

In honor of this wonderfully sly holiday, we thought better of playing a practical joke on our Cramsters. After all, you guys are way too smart to fool.

Instead, I will be sharing some of my FAVORITE April Fool’s Day tricks, courtesy of
The Top 100 April Fool’s Day Hoaxes of All Time.

Of the top 100, here are a few favorites:

#7 Alabama changes the value of Pi from 3.14 to [...]

Free college for good behavior?

admin — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 14:31:45 +0000

Sounds like a pretty good deal!

Be on your best behavior, and the state will pay for a year of college. That’s the plan proposed by Illinois state Rep. Mike Boland.

The plan is still in the very early ‘idea’ phase, but here is what Boland proposes:

8th graders (and their families) sign a pledge promising that until they graduate high school, they will maintain a C avera [...]
