Hi! Just want to rant about this class for a minute. This professor drives me INSANE. And I know that it’s a shared sentiment among many of his current and past students. His flipped classroom approach will most definitely have better outcomes than actually teaching lectures. Why? Here’s why:

1) His teaching explanations are AWFUL. They are constantly going back in circles and when he’s getting closer to a point it’s like he loses his train of thought instantly. He is a greatly intelligent person, and I find that respectable, but his teaching isn’t the best in my opinion.

2) With the flipped teaching, he’s basically forcing all his students to fend for themselves and figure it out without having to do all of the hard work. Which, fine, we’re in college, but you can’t even introduce a topic for us? And this will make students spend HOURS YouTube surfing to find a way into the topic and not fail this semester miserably.

He’s a good person, I’m aware of that. But he is very good at avoiding doing the teaching and fending people off to watch a couple YouTube videos and MAYBE just MAYBE two or three questions during a class time. It’s INSANE.

I won’t even get on about his antipathy with whispering, because I do understand and support it to a certain extent. It’s a large room and it’s already difficult enough to understand him.

Anyways, that’s my rant. I hope I pass.

I can’t help but panic coz I feel like I have a D there, tops

Hey everyone, I was an undergrad at Stony Brook from 1970 to 1974, right when the Student Union first opened. I wanted to share a piece of real, unhinged campus lore from that era that seems to have vanished from the internet archives.

For two of my four years here, students organized a live, standing-room-only Crepitation Contest in the Union auditorium. It was packed way past fire-code capacity both times.

For context, it was based on the famous 1946 satirical underground comedy record about a world-championship flatulence match. The campus organizers committed to the bit 100% and turned it into an absolute masterpiece of live performance art:

• The Setup: They hooked up a heavy-duty boom mic and blasted the entire "production" through a massive Marshall amplifier that shook the auditorium walls.
• The Roster: They had contestants playing the characters from the record—Paul Boomer and Lord Windesmear—but they also added their own, like the "Sheik of Cheek."
• The Costumes: One of the contestants wore a full wrestling singlet with gym shorts and a dramatic cape.
• The Training Regimens: They did deadpan pre-match interviews asking the contestants about their athletic preparation, which apparently involved strict diets of raw onions and Coca-Cola.
• The Official Review Booth: They used a big green slate chalkboard on stage for scoring. If a particular "production" was challenged as being illegal, the contestant and the judge would step behind the chalkboard. The audience could only see their lower legs and feet shifting tensely. After a few seconds of silent deliberation, the judge’s hand would dramatically reach out from behind the slate with an "OK" sign.

It was easily some of the funniest, most creative counterculture humor I experienced during my time at SBU.

Are there any other alumni from the early '70s on here who remember crowding into the auditorium for this? Or does anyone know if copies of The Statesman from '71–'74 still have the old flyers or write-ups for it?

Yo anyone who has radu ionas have past exam papers stuff like that I was just trying to find a effective way to study you know

is bright space not working for anyone else?

I heard that the library is getting rid of the silent area in north reading room, and they plan to throw the books out. Is it just me, or does that not feel right? Like yeah this campus doesn't have enough third spaces, but I find it hard to believe that the only option is to throw away a ton of books. Besides, I personally like studying in the quiet section, and all of them except for the one at nrr close really early. We live in a society😔 I'm not sure how true it is, but it better not be😭

This random ahh dude sped directly at my friend and I at the LIRR station then swerved off at the last second and placed his tires terribly (outside the lines). He then proceeded to walk directly towards us and when I reprimanded him for his subpar control of the wheel, he followed us to dominos and stared at us through the window as we ate our pizza. The pizza was really bad by the way. It was way too hot and I lost money playing Uno against my friend while we were waiting. Our pizza also came out late. We got the regular crust but I would recommend the new york style or even the thin crust or even going next door to subway where the food is far superior. Does anyone recognize this lad? Might be a little hard to see because I have lightly blurred his face. Need less assholes like this guy on campus.

I’m just posting this cause I wanna see all the performances but I got no idea where it’s gonna be. I heard it at the arena but idk where that is. If anyone could tell me I will appreciate it

Hello all,

Calling the broad path between the SAC Loop and Admin the "Academic Mall" just sounds bad, and we need an alternative, especially as this is one of the most transited parts of campus (connecting Melville, Frey, Psych, Humanities, Staller, ESS, etc.)

From here on out, I would like you all to refer to this strip of land as:

The Shaft

If you think about it, it makes sense, as it connects the SAC to the Wang.

Thanks.

So I have my midterm today for the online ARH 206 course and I dont know what its going to be like. What questions will we be getting? Or what types of questions? Its a 20 minute slot with 4 students so is it 5 minutes per student?

Im really anxious bc im not very good at history and remembering it, and I want to pass this class. Does anyone who took the midterm yesterday have any advice??

we just did our midterm, we had 3 big questions with less than one hour. And the questions are just curveballs after curveballs, we were allowed cheat sheet, but most the important topics like friction and Fc i thought was gonna show never did. Instead we got unit vector and calculating earth’s circumference. Like bruh, most of my cheat sheet’s formula where’s even relevant. The only question that was easy was elevator pulley.

never take this class with graf.

even at the recitation many of us were questioning the professor if it took him this long to do the questions (like 50 min) , why should we be expected to do all that under 1 hour.

If you lost a shadow the hedgehog pin in the engineering building lobby I brought it to “the space” which is down the hall.

Was on the railroad bus and then I thought to check my phone and got the news 😒 fucking LIRR

Is there a shuttle that takes you there? Is there a shuttle and bus i gotta take? And do they take tap if i gotta pay

There’s some nsfw humor in it but it is sort of a passion project for me!
Here’s a clip of it (ignore my voice over)

So guys, what's a seawolf? Are you a seawolf

wtf lol this class is much more difficult than I expected; how is the class getting 40% A's in past semesters???

i’m a sophomore and yet i’m still struggling with college life even though it’s my second year. i’m falling behind my lectures, all of my missing assignments are piled up, i’m struggling with my mental health, and i’m not wealthy enough to go here. i have to prepare for midterms and at this point i’m studying for a decent grade, not my knowledge. i’m scared my gpa is going to be ruined because my depression got me to the point where i missed many important dues for some lectures. i don’t know what to do. i don’t even have any friends to talk to and my home is far away. life genuinely feels like prison. i feel like giving up

edit: i just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone who took the time to read my post and share their advice and experiences! i honestly didn’t expect this many responses and i really appreciate every single one of them. i’ve been feeling extremely overwhelmed and discouraged lately, so hearing from people who have been through similar situations or are currently going through the same thing genuinely makes me feel less alone. i know i have a lot to work on and i’m trying my best to figure out how to get myself back on track. again, thank you all for being so kind and taking the time to respond. best of luck to all of you aswell ❤️

Is the general tso’s chicken halal ? Can anyone confirm pls
