Interview with a CMU professor!
The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.
Our on campus is like eighty degrees and it's October, which is like literally the forty degrees tomorrow and it's Michigan weather. All right? Now I'm going to interview one of my professors that I have had multiple times kind of throughout the year, and your name is frustrates, have any weight? I've had it for, like, two different classes, and I kind of wonder to interview her so that she could give me kind of like her perspective on the broadcasting department. How it is a thruster here? Well, she recommends freshman students has started coming in comes just kind of some friendly advice coming from a professor of how you can stay on top of things your freshman year. This is also more hall, which is where the broadcasting apartment is the kind of journalism and communications. So this is where I spent a lot of my time sometime a broadcasting major. You're like math classes and different like university requirement classes that you will have here. So just in case this makes it's way around and people are searching, you'll see both references. Yeah, Andi, I'm a professor, technically election or two fixed term faculty member at CMU in broadcast and cinematic arts. Like I don't know, like advice you would give to an incoming freshman. No, I guess some of the first things is is for many students, there seems to be a barrier between, like, how to access a professor or or feel like you can talk to them. You talk to him like any other person, you know, start going and start asking questions. If you're part of a larger course, which a lot of freshmen courses tend to be the the larger one hundred two three hundred, and I feel like then you kind of feel like you're drowning or you're just part of this big group. You're not an individual, and that's really not true. Professors I know personally, and most of my colleagues that I've talked to are all about having students come and talk to us. Then kind of what would you say is unique about Central? Yeah, like I got one of the unique things about us is our campus set up. So it's a big campus, but it's not humongous. Then it spread out all over town, right? You're not going out. You don't have to go across town to get to this building to get to this class, and then you can walk all around campus and get two from one into the other in about twenty two thirty minutes. I mean, thirty minutes may seem like a while, but if you think about crossing certain roles that but essentially if you're in the center of campus, everything's within twenty minutes of you think it's such a a welcoming place where I think you can be from anywhere and from all kinds of different learning environments, cultures, things like that and come here and find a home. I think that that's important when you utilize the resource is I was talking about before and go, Oh my gosh, people really want to connect with me. Then I think that that is a unique quality that I have felt here. Is there anything else you want to add about Central or anything else that you think would be important for people coming into the university or looking at a university that they haven't been here before? I wrap it up, I would the last thing for me and this is coming from someone that people will say she strict or she's, you know, I expect a lot. It's true because I know that the potential is there, and I see it in most students who are coming here. The problem is, when you start to specialize in things, you don't have a ton of experience and you're being trained and you're working toward that. If you come out of it and you get a name and you don't remember anything, it doesn't help you than it is. That's not necessarily the experience that we're going for for youto have. Get that paper back and look at it and assess it and go to the professor or go to the lab in structure.
