I've been trying to find the course web site for the new woman that took over Beckmann's classes, Jennifer Campbell seems to be her name? I can't find her personal web site with her powerpoints on it, and of course, she doesn't use Vista. She only has two things posted on the library's web site, and they're notes, not her actual powerpoints that she said that she was going to make available to us. And, again, of course, she didn't list her personal web site on the syllabus she gave us. Can anybody find where the hell she hid this stuff?

what happened to Beckmann? He was the man.

Had to retire. He was having some kind of health problems, and he was on some painkiller that made him dehydrated all the time.
(BTW, I found the link: http://courses.ncsu.edu/bio183/lec/004/ I didn't know anyone still USED the courses.ncsu page. Get with the times and use Vista, woman!)

My roommate had it this semester but Beckmann quit having class about half way through...good guy, sucks he had to retire.

It's definitely been a huge change with the middle of the semester. And, damn it, this is the second semester in a row I've had a teacher just leave and stick us with somebody with a totally different teaching style. Sad.

He didn't retire, he'll be back in the fall.

I emailed him to pake sure he's still teaching PB295

Vista stinks. I much prefer when professors have the flexibility to design their own pages and post them to courses.ncsu.edu

4/30/2008 8:37:06 PM

^agreed. Even professor themselves will tell you vista sucks ass.
