Four Reasons the School of Informatics and Computing Should Be On Your Radar

Amanda Richardson — Fri, 17 May 2013 14:35:27 +0000

Choosing a major is hard. Believe me I know. Informatics is actually my third declared college major! I changed my major my junior year when I came to IU (the main reason next year will be my 5th year!). I decided that I wasn't enjoying the classes I was taking for my current major, but I had not a clue what to change my major to. One of my friends who was in Informatics suggested I try taking the Introductory class, INFO-I 101. I decided why not, I didn't have any ideas what I wanted to do now anyways. I am so glad I decided to take the class! I loved it and I have enjoyed every single Informatics class I have taken since then.

So why should YOU consider Informatics or Computer Science if/when you come to IU? There are several reasons, but here are my top four:

You don't have to have really strong prior technical skills. Everything you will need to know is taught to you in classes. If you know how to do the basics when using a computer, you should be perfectly fine. I should know, all I basically knew before starting my Informatics courses was things like Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, how to surf the web, and how to check my email. I didn't really do anything past that. Now I know how to make some pretty awesome websites and even some basic programming! I never dreamed I would know how to do such things, and it's a pretty great feeling looking back on all the amazing things I've learned since becoming an Informatics major! :)
The school offers a really close-knit community feeling. This school is one of the newest on campus, so the class sizes are generally pretty small compared to some of the other big lecture classes, and the overall graduating classes are not nearly as big as other programs at IU. It didn't take me long at all to meet so many new people, because I was taking either one or more classes with them a semester. Because it is so close-knit, you can always find someone to help you out with a class you may be having trouble with. I come from a really small town in Northern Indiana. My graduating class was in the upper 90's. So coming to IU was a really big change for me since there are so many students and people here. I was a bit overwhelmed at first. But SoIC has really helped me to find a smaller niche with a lot of great people I can get to know really well. It made IU a little smaller and more managable for me.
Informatics and Computer Science are two fields that are growing rapidly. The demand for students with technology majors keeps growing, and there often aren't enough students graduating from these types of programs to fill all the positions. This means really high job placement for our students after graduation! Pretty cool right? :) I certainly think so! Also (and this is not the only reason I chose the major but it was a consideration), starting salaries for jobs in the technology field are pretty nice compared to most entry level jobs. Just thought I would share that with all you readers as well. :)
Pretty much everyone I have met within the School has been really nice and laid back. This atmosphere is really great, and has been really beneficial for all my academics thus far in the school. I feel completely comfortable asking questions to any professor or fellow classmate and not being judged for it. Also, if the person I ask doesn't have the answer, they usually can refer me to someone who can help, which is great. Another pretty neat thing is that many of the professors like to be friends with the students. They treat students as their equals, which I really like and is one of the main reasons I feel so comfortable coming to them with any issues I'm having. I've known of a few professors going out and getting dinner or something like that with students, which I just find really awesome!

I am really happy I decided to major in Informatics, and I would encourage every student who is at all interested in learning more about technology to at least try it out and take the introductory class. You never know, you might find that it's the best decision you ever made in giving it a chance. I know it was a great decision for me! :) Check it out and if you have any questions you're more than welcome to ask me or any of the faculty and staff at the school!

Best,

-Amanda R.

That's a wrap! Sophomore year at IU is done.

Allison Lefko — Thu, 09 May 2013 14:35:00 +0000

Wow I can not believe that I am already done with my sophomore year of college! Time really does fly by fast! This year brought challenges, changes, excitment, and fun. It had its ups and downs, but many more ups than downs. I made new friends, experienced more of Bloomington than just IU's campus, and had some amazing experiences. Here's some pictures of things I partook in this year:

Nearly Naked Mile during Homecoming week

Birthright Israel trip over winter break with fellow IU students

Front row seats to iubb versus Purdue (IU won of course!)

Alternative Spring Break Trip to New Orleans

My hope for all you freshmen coming to IU in the fall (and for anyone really) is that you take advantage of everything that IU has to offer and embrace every experience. Before you know it, you will be halfway done with college and wondering where the time went!

Finals Week- Spring edition

Michaella Beatty — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 17:37:23 +0000

This year, spring has a late onset. Mother Nature seems to be torturing us by having the weather become nice as soon as it is finals week. It is not helping me be any more productive than I already wasn't. Last week, my "dead week" wasn't very lively. No, I didn't spend the much need time off from the homework, papers, quizzes etc to study to my impending finals. Instead, I got hooked on a TV show and proceeded to watch 4 season worth on Netflix. Bones is a very slippery slope people. Learn from my mistake. So here we are, during finals week, where I am left with the decision to cram all my studying into the night before my test. So instead of procrastinating anymore than I already am (notice this blog post as coming from during finals week, when I should be studying), I will just add a picture that sums up my predicament fairly well. (Or 2)

Now maybe you're thinking, "high school finals aren't that hard, this girl is crazy." Wrong. College is different. It's so much better in 10000 ways, but finals are harder. Yes, we don't have any other classes at all during the week, which is nice, but it's still a lot of stress. So handle yourself properly to keep healthy. Take mental breaks, psychology proves that it will end up helping you out on the exam. If you feel so inclined to watch Bones until 3 am, I mean, it's your life.

Peace, Love, Finals.

A Guide to Finals Week: Freshman Perspective

Chelsie Kasun — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:02:33 +0000

The Progression of Little Five to Finals Week University Expectations and Student Contributions

So, after the fun-filled and eventful Little 500 week, students at IU experience each semester what we call "dead week." Dead week is supposed to get its name from the students' chance to relax a little bit, not receive homework or projects, and to focus on charging up and gearing up for the heinous intimidating finals week. However, dead week is not dead. That phrase must have been effective another time because even as a freshman, I have not experienced such break. Dead week is full of last minute grade pull-ups and alterations and loose assignments. After dead week, students are all put on the line for recalling a semester's worth of material. This is similar to high school, except the weight of the final exam grade on your course grade is large. I will talk more about coping in my video. Here are some student tweets!

Cross it Off! - My IU Bucket List

Alyssa Schor — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:47:00 +0000

At orientation, we all received a "Must Do at IU: A Bucket List for the True Hoosier" with a list of IU traditions, big and small, to experience before graduation. As my first year comes to an end (where did the time go?), let's look at some items I can cross off my bucket list.

Go on a late night tour of campus / at night, lay on the ground and watch the lights change on the IU Art Museum / dip your feet in Showalter Fountain.

This all happened on the same night at orientation during a severe weather warning. We never went on an official night tour because of the weather threats, so a few of us decided to give ourselves a tour and cross some of these items off our lists. The severe thunderstorm never happened, and we had a marvelous time.

Attend the Little 500 men's or women's race (or both!)

One word: wow. People from all over the country come in for this. The atmosphere is truly electric! Both of this year's races came down to the final lap, and I had a blast cheering on my friends and teams. People get pretty into it.

Hear a lecture or see a show at the IU Auditorium.

Or three. They were all excellent.

Order freshly baked cookies during a late night conversation with friends.

Yum yum!

Rock out at a live music show.

Well, I covered one.

Oh, then there was Macklemore. In a Cody Zeller jersey.

Paint your face for an IU basketball game.

Does this count?

I would also add the following to the bucket list: "lose your voice after a basketball game", "wait outside in the cold for a general admission seat" and "wake up at 6 a.m. to be on ESPN College Gameday."

Shake your groove thing at Dance Marathon.

This was one of the most inspiring nights of my life, and I still ask myself how I did it. Can't wait to do it again in November!

Eat in the Tudor Room of the IMU.

If you're a student and you go on weekdays between 1 p.m. and 1:30 p.m., you can access the entire buffet for $8. All the salad, yummy entrees, and scrumptious desserts you want...Just be careful not to overload!

Relax near the fireplace at the IMU.

Or if you're me, fall asleep there during class breaks. The couches are very comfortable.

Play a game of "bags" at a football tailgate.

Where I come from, we call it "cornhole." And although I never actually played at them, I did enjoy myself at a few tailgates, so consider this item crossed off.

Find your favorite local ice cream parlor.

Hello, Hartzell's!

Get a glimpse of life in Bloomington by volunteering in the community.

My sorority sisters and I take turns each week volunteering at Girls, Inc., a place where young girls can come after school and have a cool, safe place to hang out. They promote confidence and self-esteem and positive role models. We help run afternoon programs, and they range from art to sports. I've only been a few times, but I really like it and look forward to going more next year.

I didn't even list everything I crossed off my bucket list, and there are many things still left to do. I can't believe how quickly this year came and went, it really feels like yesterday that I moved in! I can't wait to see where next year takes me, and I'm so excited to welcome new Hoosiers and see them begin their bucket lists!

I will keep writing during the summer, mostly for you incoming freshmen about orientation, moving into a dorm, transitioning from high school to college, and so on. So keep checking in!

What Do You Want from University? / What I Found in the Collins LLC

* IU Students and Alumni — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:35:05 +0000

I’ve lived in the Collins Living Learning Center for two years and couldn’t imagine myself anywhere else. When I signed on for a second year in the residence halls, everyone at home thought I was crazy; no air conditioning! Residence halls are temporary housing until you can move out. I’d have to share spaces and have a roommate! I argue, however, that there are very valuable things on campus; this is what I found in the Collins LLC.

Student involvement is an enormous buzzword on any campus – are you Involved? How do you Get Involved? And once you are Involved, where do you stand? Involvement is scary because it’s not what many students expect from university – most, I would say, think the primary function of education is to go to class and make some friends along the way. I’ve always thought that it’s what you do and what you make while at school that really forms your education.

This is what I found in the Collins Living Learning Center – a place that’s helped me make incredible things and pushed me to grow as a person, not just as a student. When I came to university, I expected to go to class and make some friends along the way. Now, almost two years later, I feel like I can do anything.

To explain what’s different about Collins: nearly all activities in the hall are student sponsored and student run. This means that if you would like to do something, there will be overwhelming means of support for you. If I would like to hold a film screening, I can get a room reserved, posters made, dinner catered, and anything else I would need for my event. If I want to teach a course or hold a workshop (I teach film photography at Collins, for example), there is an unimaginable amount of funding for my project. I’ve seen others create everything from music festivals (featuring current and former residents) to an organization promoting healthy, sustainable diets – with dinner served. Our in-center coffee shop, the Cheshire Café, began selling coffee from a closet before it became an entirely student-staffed and student-managed small business. Current community initiatives include a push to renovate a small basement kitchen and the creation of a mixed-gender floor in one of our buildings.

Next year, I’ll be leaving Collins for an RA position in Foster. This doesn’t mean that I’m done with Collins, however. As I myself learned from upperclassmen last year, this year I see new students becoming – dare I say it – Involved with our help. I know that wherever their education takes them – student radio, publishing, journalism, international study, or hard science – they will have been well prepared by the Collins LLC.

The Fame of IU's Little 500

Chelsie Kasun — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 14:42:00 +0000

Indiana's Tradition of the Little 500 Founded in 1951 and still going strong

Indiana is legendary for this famous event that people wrap up as a "bike race." The Little 500 (Little 5) is a great celebration for the whole campus beyond just the racers and Greek houses. Besides partying and constantly celebrating, this event unites the entire campus and makes this week our week. The reason I am writing this post today is not to increase the traffic for posts and stories about Little 500 but to write responses to some fans via social media and talk about the origin of the race. This celebratory week leading up to the race is not understandable unless you are a true citizen of IU nation and really embrace the excitement and culture. Many other universities try to mock our tradition because of our notoriety and fame. For example, Purdue has a "Little 5," University of Wisconsin has a "Block Party," and Mizzou has "Greek Week" to name a few. This is a little irritating, but imitation is a form of flattery--a nice little cliché to explain my feelings.

Of course, we have a complex for partying hard, but unfortunately, raising the bar for alcohol consumption-caused arrests seems to be in a direction that we should not be proud. Bloomington courthouse is the only one open on Sundays in order to deal with the high frequency of Saturday night arrests. Little Five is a popular weekend at the courthouse.

This is my tweet, but the post linked to a WeAreIU.com story gives a nice background to the race and its significance.

— Chelsie Kasun (@chelsaid) April 23, 2013

Beta Theta Pi won the men's race and the controversy between their win with the possibility of a Delta Tau Delta win was very controversial. The race's winners are a big deal, so the race's rules are very reinforced and implemented with strict conduct.

We wld like to congratulate Beta Theta Pi on their win @ the Little 500 this weekend! ow.ly/kiScG

How to Make a Good Impression With Your Professor On the First Day of Class

Jessica Frampton — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 15:03:35 +0000

In one of my classes, we had to write a procedure for incoming freshmen about how to form a meaningful relationship when they get to IU. This post will explain how to make a good first impression with your professor on the first day of class:

Check ratemyprofessors.com. Make sure your professor has at least a 3 on overall quality before you sign up for his/her class.
Make sure you get to class on time. It would be best to arrive 5 to 10 minutes early.
Smile as you enter, and introduce yourself to the professor. Note: Make this introduction quick, or you might look like a suck-up.
Sit towards the front, but not in the front row.
Pay attention to the lecture and make eye contact.
Raise your hand and answer questions when they are posed to the class. Note: Make sure your answers are intelligent and relevant to the question.
Pack up your bags only after the professor has dismissed class.
Wave goodbye to your professor on the way out.

Its called masculinity not stupidity

Trading Laces — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 16:40:37 +0000

I like how we talked about masculinity in terms of homosexuality and heterosexuality. We were able to discuss how when a guy portrays a stereotypically masculine traits, such as driving a truck or counting the number of sexual partners he has had. But when a man is concerned with fashion or has feminine mannerisms, they are automatically considered gay. This is something we want to change. We decided to change this by calling people out on their harmful words and/or actions. This is what we are going to do to help make indiana university a better place.

Some folks have forgotten that the Little 500 is, and always has been, about raising scholarship money for IU students. I'm glad to see that this year' Steering Committee is putting the emphasis on philanthropy once more with their Philanthropy in Motion campaign.

This is the official IU strike Facebook page where students and faculty with similar feelings confess their opinions about student matters and issues that leave them feeling trapped and enraged. Here, the students also plan group meetings and schedule campus-wide strikes.

The IDS is already on the story covering the outburst of students from Ballantine to Woodburn Hall on April 11. The strike will go to another part of campus on the 12th to spread the word to different audiences aimlessly evenly.

This is a video I took on the 11th showing my perspective of the strike and figuring out what the chant words were along with the persistent percussion.

what IU on Strike consists of: 1/2 who just want to be on strike, 1/4 who actually know what they're there for & 1/4 who are lost on campus.

As you can see, there are many students who take the strike more lightly.

I actually laughed out loud for this message, but some students honestly think the efforts of the strike do not lead to serious change. The strikes tend to be more about the students wanting to be heard and making a decently large scene. I tend to think the students want to be noticed and stand out and these strikes unfortunately will not change the university's having to raise fees, but that is just me.

Some, and I could be tempted to say most, students do not understand the meaning of the strike or were uninformed of the purpose and time in which the strike is taking place. My English teacher first informed me to educate my awareness for extra credit depending on if we attended or not.

it's hilarious how an IU Red Carpet Day is on the same day as day 1 of IU on Strike #welcometocollegeclassof2017

This was funny to me. Some prospective students were able to get a first-hand look at the commotion during tours.

To the strikers, the students voicing their opinions are "showing solidarity." I find that a true statement. Their efforts are at least non-violent and noble.

IU on Strike is pretty interesting...it gave links to some of the important information someone might need today and tomorrow.

This is what the strike should be about: awareness and informing the unknown.
Nick Bragin
While I believe they lost all credibility due to their actions (littering, interfering with operations, addressing the wrong audience, and assaulting IU staff) leading up to today's demonstrations, I've changed my view on the IU on Strike protesters. I've just been made aware that there will be a dance party and free dinner tonight hosted by them tonight. You win.

These two boys truly made history for IU Basketball with Oladipo in only three seasons and Zeller in just two. They each received many awards and broke records that we, as a student body, will never forget. This is not a typical post, but it is a true tribute to these boys above to show their national and IU nation's deepest congratulations (and other responses) for entering the next NBA draft. Clearly, some of us want to "jump off a cliff."

Zeller has an impressive academic background as Valedictorian of his high school, graduating from IU after two years and two summers, and going to the NBA in the middle of his last summers of schooling. Congrats, man!

This is legitimately sad for me to hear. He will be missed. His legacy will live on as the 7-foot "big handsome" from Indiana exceeding the Zeller tradition of basketball success.

I am sure Cody Zeller will be more than able to play against the likes of Lebron James #hahahahaha #badmovebro

There are some critics of course, but we can't all be Lebron after all.

Talking about his teammates, he knows they all have a mutual understanding. This shows some major team backbone and support. They form a family, no doubt!

I read this and then knew that Zeller would choose to go too. This is the best time for both of them to go (and Watford too).

The girl on the right next to Zeller is or was supposedly his girlfriend, but he does not specifically make any part of his love life known to the general public--only speculation.
