CAS 110 Review

         CAS110 class ended successfully after an hour of brainstorming in the IM Circle gym.

         Upon arriving at class, students were herded into one end of the gym so that they could hear Professor Karl Gude’s announcements.

         Gude was using a megaphone, or at least attempting to, and had been told that his directions were indiscernible during previous weeks’ classes.

         Gude both criticized and critiqued students’ project progress up until this point (the class has been discussing these questions for at least three weeks now). He said that there were a lot of “holes” in people’s ideas because they weren’t thinking them through thoroughly.

         Group 12, a group of eight class members, has to identify ways in which to allow students to track CATA buses’ locations on campus.

         The group plans to contact CATA tomorrow to learn about previously attempted methods, and will develop a tracking theory sometime this week.

CAS110 Preview

         Communication Arts and Sciences class CAS110 “The Creative Process” has a reputation of being laid back and fun-loving.

         The primary reason for this class’ enjoyable atmosphere is due to Professor Karl Gude’s wacky outlook and sense of humor.

         Tonight though, Gude is going to insist that his 200 plus students break into groups in the IM Circle gym in order to brainstorm problem-solving ideas.

         These ideas will center on individualized questions that the groups created during previous weeks.

         Group questions address common problems at MSU, such as with the CATA busing system or on-campus parking.

         Although the class is scheduled to last an upwards of two hours, depending on how long students’ brainstorming takes, there’s a strong likeliness that the class will be dismissed early.
