When Lou finishes her finals this week she completed her Bachelor's degree requirements. She will take on line courses next semester to stay eligible. It mentions older sister Bonnie in med school for optometry degree and sister Karlie working on her masters while playing in Belgium.
Lou said she could see herself being a teacher down the road, but not HS kids. She said maybe to coaching.
 
Uconn Men and some on Geno's teams have had Pre-Med, Engineering, and other science courses. It is exceedingly difficult to maintain any sort of grade level while traveling 3 or more days a week, practicing hours per day. ONLY a dedicated student would or could do that, yet some have.
I don't subscribe to the Dumb Jock label for Men or Women. As in all other area's of Universities some graduate some don't. A lot depends on what the student wants out of life and college. These kids have given me great pride (speaking men and women) in Uconn and more than great entertainment --I want them all to succeed and most shall

Optometrists don't attend medical school. Ophthalmologist do and thus are MD's.

Both Lou and Pheesa will earn degrees in Human Development and Family Studies. Lou thinks she might teach someday - doesn't know what age, but not high school. Maybe coaching - "...need to be a good teacher to be a good coach. We'll see."

Doesn't feel badly at all that she won't have to get up for 8:00 AM classes any more after (last) Friday, but the underclassmen still will. She paid her dues, now it's their turn.

I think because it includes numbers. Hey, they're basketball announcers for a reason.

I remember when I was in 5th grade or so and my sister (who got a REAL math degree) came home from college complaining about her Statistics course. I couldn't figure out what the problem could be -- I knew she could calculate a Batting Average and she had shown me how to calculate my Earned Run Average just a couple months before. Didn't make any sense.

Well, accounting does have some math to be sure. Compound interest rates. Depreciation etc.

I was a UGrad Math major (before switching to Engineering for Grad School) and I can confirm that Statistics and his unholy sister (Probability) were among the most hated and feared courses. Many of the problems in these courses are hard to express clearly and intuitively and drove students up the wall. Give me calculus any day. :)
