So I was checking my schedule for college today when I noticed that my Econ professor is some Chinese guy. I look him up on course evaluations to find that he's not there. Desperate, I google his name + economics, and this is what I find...

"Survival Analysis of the Timing of Goals in Soccer Games"
Submitted by
XXXXXXXXXX
for the degree of Master of XXXXXX
at The University of Hong Kong
in September 2005
This thesis aims to evaluate various theories and comments about the factors affecting the hazard of goals being scored during different periods of a soccer match. It also
investigates how team asymmetry distorts the estimation and how the framework of survival analysis supplements existing sports-related empirical studies.


I know absolutely nothing about soccer. I need an A in this class. I love economics and I have to take this for my major. I am also Chinese. The class is curved.

What should I do? He's a new teacher, so he might rape my GPA, but he's also young, which means he probably won't as much. Halp?

i suggest watching many soccer games it doesnt really matter which ones but study the game like you would a book see how a goalie reacts after he lets in 2 goals but is so pumped he doesnt let another one in all game.

Just take time and watch some games

His master's dissertation topic doesn't matter one iota for your course. What you should care about is how good of a teacher he is and how well you can understand him. Pick two courses you'd like, sign up for both and then drop the one with the worse teacher.

You don't know how the professor will be until you actually sit down in one of his classes and listen to him lecture.

Relax.

Wtf. Just because you don't like soccer or know anything about it doesn't mean hes going to take points off our shit. Learn economics and dont worry so much if you make a B... ive made plenty of A's i didn't deserve and vice versa. Life inst fair.

So... do you mind explaining what the hell kind of misconstrued logic you used to reach those conclusions (assumptions)?

You deleted the name but not the title of the article

did you mean the Chung-sang? I will spare you the horror and wont post the rest of his name.

I am also Chinese, my name is Shang Tsung, and this thread has failed on so many levels...
Maybe you have a good GPA, but you dont seem to be too sharp, esp. streetwise...

I need an A in this class. I love economics and I have to take this for my major.

Then study hard? I don't see a problem here.

lol? I'm not getting your logic here.
So to get an A in a course, you need to know your prof's paper inside and out instead of studying for the actual course? Focus on the course, not the prof..

If you really want to get along well with a relatively new professor, give him a lot of feedback about his lectures (what's confusing or not), homework, and so on. He probably still figuring out what works, and you'll be more engaged.

Caller I'm also not understanding why you are worried; your ability to make logical hypotheses about your econ professors rival your tvp.
