I want to nominate one of my Professor's for an award in excellent teaching. We have to get a minimum of 2 supporters from each of the following: students, faculty, administration, and former students. Anyway, would the Dean in my field of studies be classified as an "administrator" and if so, would it be appropriate to email the Dean and ask him if he is willing to become a supporter? Or is this very inappropriate?

i'm really interested in NU, especially the Medill school of journalism, but I'm not sure if i should go there. I've heard that the party scene is weak, and people don't really have a social life.

What percentage of their graduates get a job after college?

I'm a high school junior now, I've probably asked a 1000 questions about colleges. I'm kind of concerned. So if any of you could help, please that would be great. Okay well, I've jumped from three different high schools and it has really affected my learning environment. I have troubles with getting the classes I want, keeping up with things, etc. I am hoping that I can get into an Ivy League, but my dad has been concerned with my worries and told me that to start, I can go to an easier college and jump to an Ivy League if I feel comfortable instead of springing from the bottom of my pool of worries to the top of a sky scraper. I've thought about it a little. My non-Ivy League choices for colleges were MIT and NYU or BU, but I was mostly inclined to NYU out of the three. Seeing my situation, is it better to go a college like NYU, Rutgers, or BU and then jump into what I think is appropriate (like Brown, Columbia, or something?) Also, what's the early decision rate for NYU?

I am a college instructor, and as this semester is winding down, I find myself very frustrated at the problems I am getting with the last few papers. I make every effort to explain the assignment clearly both in the assignment sheet and in class, but still students turn in assignments that are very different from my expectations (APA style instead of MLA, which I understand for the first few papers, but this is the end of the semester, for example).

One student, who I have had in several classes, told me recently that he wasn't sure about the assignment and asked some of his friends in the class. He (and them!) did the assignment wrong.

I frequently tell my students to ask me if they have a question, either during my office hours or by email, but they don't. Any suggestions or explanations?

The pitch of the sound from a racecar engine drops the musical interval of a fourth when it passes the spectators. This means the frequency of the sound after passing is 0.75 times what it was before. How fast is the racecar moving?

My best friend and I are rooming in the dorms at a University. She and I get along decently well, just a few minor differences, like occassional messes and sleeping habits, and her boyfriend. She has a nightly ritual of having her boyfriend tuck her in (and snuggle) for about 1 hour or more, ending about 1:30 nightly. She thinks I fall asleep right away, I don't and I told her I don't, and I don't want to hear their cooing into the early hours, but she's uncomfortable having this routine in his room. I miss having our fun friend time, and rooming together frustrates me, but I'm afraid to leave because I don't want hard feelings. Advice?
