You University: The College of the Future

The Classes

We know what you’re wondering: how can they possibly design classes personalized specifically to each person? Back in 2141, our administrators were wondering the same thing. But with the development of the DeanBot and the ProfessorBots, we’ve created a system that will allow each student to get our full attention and his, her, or its maximum learning experience.

The Professors

On the first day of orientation, each student is assigned a ProfessorBot modified for student-compatible emotional temperament, sophistication of language, interaction skills, and apparent creativity. Each ProfessorBot has up to twelve individual personality and appearance settings to give you variety in your different classes.* Following the 2148 Jovian Power Failures and the Great MultiBot Uprising of 2156, each team of sixty ProfessorBots are now monitored by one sentient professor, four Teaching Assistants, and ten Tech Fellows. Your academic and personal safety is our primary concern.

*A friendly reminder: ProfessorBots are programmed to be compatible with you; however, they have no true emotions or romantic inclinations. If a ProfessorBot reports that a student is making romantic or sexual overtures toward it, the ProfessorBot will be replaced immediately.

The Curriculum
Once you have taken your aptitude and achievement tests, students will be given the option of having their curriculum chosen for them by our RegistrarBot or, if they choose to deviate from the area best suited for them, will work directly with a sentient professor to build a curriculum.

At You University, extracurriculars classes do not exist. Credits are awarded for any classes developed via a professor or ProfessorBot, regardless of how small, new, or unusual they may be. Last year, Mok’chon Felda (Gliese City Campus, Class of ’61) proposed six new Gliean-specific classes that are now available for students both local and distant. Akira Oyoskie (New New York Campus, Class of ’60) has worked side-by-side with several of our professors to design a class that will allow students in the Sol System to safely study the radioactive ruins of the planet Earth. If a student wishes to take a certain class, he/she/it will take it. It’s our YoU guarantee.

The Classrooms
Students on campus will be given the unique opportunity of taking joint classes with 5-10 students, in which one ProfessorBot is programmed with the knowledge and teaching styles of each student in the class’s personal ProfessorBot so as to give students the group experience without the detriments of ancient college classrooms. For the full anthropological experience, students will be permitted to sit in on “mock classes” in which a sentient teacher lectures to classes of twenty or more students, but no credits will be awarded for these classes.

Off-campus students will be allowed to participate in virtual classrooms where they can converse and discuss classes with other students across the Orion Arm of the galaxy. Virtual conversations are filtered and censored when necessary, and we have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to xenocist slurs.

Course Materials
Each off-campus student is required to purchase an iStudent console* prior to the first week of classes. You University also offers an upgrade from the older Chihuahua, Rottweiler and Dachshund editions to the new Golden Retriever (newly Flash-capable!) version.

Textbooks and other course material may be bought and downloaded from our bookstore website for low prices and the latest editions. Subscribe to their newsletter for the newest, best deals! Your RegistrarBot will also let you know which books can be found online, free of charge.

*Available for shipping from Jobs City, Mars.
