"Laughably easy?"

I was on the Yahoo homepage a few minutes ago, and I found an article about Tyler Hansbrough's picture of him jumping into the pool. In this article, Eamonn Brennan said "Most college students don't get a full ride to play a sport. Most college students, unless they're journalism majors, don't take laughably easy courses designed to keep their GPAs high." I was shocked when I read this because first of all, it had nothing to do with the article, and second of all, every journalism program is different, and I definitely do not think that our courses are 'laughably easy,' or designed to keep my GPA high. If so, I would have a 4.0. I decided to post this because I thought it was something that you would find interesting.

This is an interesting story. There is some suspicion that more than a few students (not serious ones like you) have picked journalism for a major because it seems easy. Like an English major but with a possible practical application. This was interesting inspiration as I am handing out final grades!
