http://www.lsusports.net/ViewArticle.dbml?&DB_OEM_ID=5200&ATCLID=226281 For weeks I have heard different rumors about JR's grades. Looks like he's doing just fine. Just goes to show, don't buy into a rumor. Good job JaMarcus.
Sometimes, people want to persuade others to think or feel like they do and will go to any length to do so. That's the reason I don't repeat anything until I see it in black and white. Good to know he doing OK in school. I'm sure JR is tired of the rumors also. Can you imagine how he feels?
Not tryin to pick on the kid. Cause I'm actually curious...but what is "General Studies"? Doesn't the NCAA require that you declare a major by your junior year? I could have sworn it was that way when I was dealing with them.
Interesting. Do you just do a little bit of everything? Kind of defeats the purpose of a major I would think. I might be taking 'general studies' too literally though. Thanks
The way kids are today, I don't care what major he's taking as long as he's in school. When you see kids on the street corners every day like I do, I applaud him for being in school, especially an outstanding university like LSU regardless of the degree. Just being there says something about JR in my book.
What is the purpose of a major anyway???? ___________________________________ Auburn is 17-2 in its last 19 SEC games. Who's the REAL Tigers???????? :grin:
I said that he wasn't having grade problems before...hardly believed he would drop from the honor roll without the coaches knowing about it. General Studies is sometimes a precursor to being a teacher...
General Studies is about studying Napoleon, Patton and . . . Seriously, General Studies has been a major for about 35 years at LSU. It is actually a very good "pre-anything" curriculum for those planning to specialize in graduate school or law school. It is also a good choice for those undergrads with broad interests who haven't really decided on a career by letting them get credit for coursework in a number of different colleges. It works very well for those students who leave a music or arts curriculum to take more science and technical courses for better job prospects. It allows them to use more of the arts hours they accumulated towards degree credit instead of just losing them. GS majors do have to take a concentration in one area and do have to take plenty of senior-level coursework. It is by no means a "basketweaving" curriculum.
