how many faculty departments don't need to secure any funding?
Q. for example, philosophy and english professors don't need any funding to conduct advanced research because their research just involves going to the library. what other academic departments are like this?
Asked by worldpeace - Tue Sep 19 21:08:49 2006 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Actually, faculty department do have to secure grant funding. In academia, it is "publish or perish." To do so, much research is needed, sometimes in other countries. Also, the state does not totally fund a university, so grants assist in paying for overhead (electricity, etc.). Every seven years, professors are eligible for a sabbatical. They can take one-half or one full year to study in their field. This takes money, and here again the grants come into play. Grants fund their travel.

In applying to an academic program, is it a problem if my letters of rec are from profs outside of my area?
Q. I am applying to an academic program. My letters of recommendation are from academic professors, but they are outside of my major/focus. For example, I am studying Health Policy and Administration and the letters of recommendation are from a Philosophy professor and a Demography professor. Both applicable to the industry, but not directly in the HPA department. Should i really have a HPA recommendation or should I be okay?

A. USNews.com has an amazing site for colleges. They have just about every college in the US on their site. They give ranking, acceptance rates, reviews, number of students, male to female ratio, faculty ratio, etc You have to pay for a subscription to get the real indepth stuff from them, but there is a part called "at a glance" that allows you to see a few various facts and information that can be helpful. Most news stands also carry their magazine, which has the top 300 schools in the US (i believe), I found it REALLY helpful. You can have a look for yourself :) there's a search portion so you can look up your schools.

Can a public school (in CA) require a parent to pay a specific $ amount in order to fund an academic program?
Q. My son is a 7th grader at our local public school and today he brought home a rather threatening letter stating that each parent MUST contribute a specific $$ amount in order to help fund the science department at the school. According to this letter we must pay this $$ amount now or, if we are unable to pay the entire fee now, there is a payment plan available. I am wondering about the leaglity of this, considering it is a public school and this is a regular academic program (i.e. this is my son's regular science class). The letter is chock full of the words "mandatory" and "required" etc. which leads me to believe that I MUST pay this fee. I can afford the fee but i am sure that there are many parents who cannot, and may feel… [cont.]

A. contact your city counsel member or mayor if your town is small and ask why your tax money for schools is not paying for this. Then explain that you will need to got to the newspapers for a better explanation if they give you the run around. Extortion is illegal even for the school dept and local government.

What are graduate school comprehensive exams like?
Q. I know that some graduate programs require the completion of a comprehensive exam. What are comps like? I hear about them, but never heard anything about the format or the exams. Are they created by the academic departments, can they be multiple choice, or written. I'm just trying to get an understanding of what comps entail? I am wondering what happens when a student doesn't pass. I am assuming that they won't receive their degree since it's a part of the program.

A. What the exams consist of varies by university and department, but generally the departments write their own each year, and no, they are not multiple choice. I took the comps a few years ago in my program (physics) and they consisted of 5 hours of tests per day over 3 days testing 4 major subject areas I had taken undergrad and graduate courses on - problems designed to make you not only demonstrate what you remember from the courses but to take it to the next level on most of the questions by interpreting the results in specific situations or show how they relate to other subfields. I spent 4 months solid studying for them. Many people don't manage to pass, despite spending many months studying and passing all the classes. Comps are… [cont.]

Modern Feminists, do history departments recruit misogynists in academia...?
Q. I would think that if history is incorrectly taught as it pertains to women, then the right approach would be to address this with preexisting departments that apparently aren't doing the job they're supposed to, e.g. preeminent historians, sociologists, anthropologists, biologists, etc. I think we can all agree that ladies have existed prior to 1900 AD. If the root of the problem with the way "women's matters" are taught stems from academic departments not providing accurate information, wouldn't it make more sense to solve such problems at the root rather than opening Women's Studies departments in academia which cost Universities huge sums of money which get trickled down to tuition costs?

A. The achievements of important women are studied in University History Departments along with the achievements of important men. Logically...it must be the unimportant women who are covered exclusively by Women's Studies Departments. In any case first world culture owes a great deal to the achievements of dead white males so it is not surprising that their stories are well represented in history classes. Edit: I think that there is a free market in achievement. The biggest achievers will get noticed and be recorded in history no matter what their sex or race is.

A. It would look like a tetrahedron in 3D. The carbon atom in the middle, the three oxygen atoms like a three-legged stool, and the calcium atom on top (or any other way you turned it around). One of the double bonds to Oxygen is broken and is taken by Calcium. Ca | O--- C---O | O Sorry I can't draw an accurate diagram of it in here, the Oxygens are supposed to look like they are all connected to the middle Carbon atom, and the Calcium is also connected to the Carbon.

A. There is no way to politely do that. You just deal with him strictly about what you need to get done and nothing else. If this is hindering you, make an appointment with the dean of students or the chair of the department of your major and discuss what problems you are having with that person. I wouldn't use words like jerk, nobody likes him, etc. Just stick to what the problem you are having and ask for help for a solution. I had two academic advisers (one was for a program within a larger program) who refused to talk with each other. If I needed any advice about course choice, I had to run from one building to another and then back again, sometimes as many as three times.

The Department of Education has actually never educated a child, but costs roughly $70 billion dollars a year; money which could actually be invested into education rather than a federal bureaucracy.
