Well, in the biology department, there are horror stories too. For a certain advanced course, students had to do fieldwork, write detailed reports, and study for exams all at the same time. One student got so stressed out that they considered dropping out. The exams were so comprehensive that they covered everything from microscopic cell structures to large - scale ecological systems.
Sure. There was a student who was in a really difficult physics program. The amount of reading and problem - solving was overwhelming. They had to read textbooks that were hundreds of pages long each week and then solve complex problems that were way beyond what they had learned in high school. They barely had time to sleep because they were constantly trying to keep up with the academic demands.
Sure. Take the example of a certain tech startup that launched its IPO with great fanfare. But they had a very complex and untested business model. After the IPO, it became clear that the model wasn't sustainable. The company couldn't generate enough revenue to cover its costs, and the share price crashed. Investors who had bought in at the IPO price lost a great deal of money.
Sure. There were stories of overcrowded classrooms. So many students were stuffed into a small space that it was hard to focus and learn. It made it difficult for the instructors to give individual attention as well.
Well, some people talk about the horror of the never - ending group projects. You get grouped with people who don't pull their weight. For example, in a CS project at Georgia Tech, one student ended up doing most of the work while the others in the group just showed up at the end to get credit. And then there are the horror stories of the campus ghosts. Some students claim to have seen strange apparitions in the old buildings on campus late at night.
Well, there's this story about a campus event that took a spooky turn. It was a Halloween event held near one of the abandoned buildings on campus. As the night went on, people started to hear screams that seemed to come from inside the building. But when they checked, there was no one there. Some believe it was the ghosts of former students who had some sort of bad experience in that building long ago.
Sure. There's a story about a local park that is said to be haunted. At dusk, people have seen shadowy figures moving among the trees. It's believed that these could be the spirits of those who met an untimely death in the area long ago. Another horror story is about a certain alleyway in Savannah. Locals avoid it at night because they say there's an evil presence there. Some have heard blood - curdling screams coming from the alley, even though no one can be found when they go to check.
At a particular high school, the teachers would give so much homework that students hardly had any time for other activities. A girl I knew was constantly sleep - deprived because she had to stay up late to finish all her assignments. It affected her health and she started to fall ill frequently.
There are quite a few. Consider the story of a self - driving car that malfunctioned during a test drive on a busy highway. It started swerving erratically, endangering the lives of the test drivers and other motorists. In the world of gaming, a new console had a hardware defect that caused it to overheat and display graphical glitches. Many players who bought it were extremely disappointed. Additionally, a cloud storage service once had a security breach, and some users' personal and sensitive files were leaked, causing a huge scandal.
Sure. A startup in the tech industry used Plevin methods to streamline its product development process. They cut out unnecessary steps and focused on rapid prototyping. This allowed them to get their product to market faster than their competitors, and they gained a significant market share early on.
Sure. In the tech industry, some startups have had great success with AMP. A startup that developed a mobile app for sharing photos found that when they integrated AMP on their related website, their user acquisition through the website increased. Since the AMP - enabled pages were so fast - loading, users were more likely to check out the app and download it.
Sure. A software company improved its CX by providing detailed and easy - to - understand user guides. This reduced the number of support calls and increased user satisfaction.
