Containment Random Thoughts & Questions

IIRC, Chris was on academic probation at least once during his time at PVCC, which means he probably had to meet with an adviser.

From personal experience, yes, most colleges require you to meet with an adviser at least during the first semester and when you change majors. CC's may make you meet with an adviser every semester, from personal experience, so yes, Chris likely had plenty of opportunity to meet with an adviser and use their services.

Chris also wanted to major in marketing originally, but did CADD instead. I don't know if an adviser persuaded him to change his major or not because Chris said he liked to draw in his spare time, or why Chris wanted to go into marketing in the first place. Not even Chris knew why he originally chose marketing.

Yeah, you always had to meet with an adviser when you made your new class schedule every semester so it matched up with your major in CC.

Also yes, Chris was on academic probation a few times. One time was b/c he failed a math class or an accounting class, on top of that English class he got kicked out of can't remember. That might be why he dropped the marketing program.

Bob actually got him to switch from marketing to CADD.

As sparklemilhouse suggested, Chris leaving the marketing program may have had more to do with his poor performance in core classes than his own decision. As for why he'd choose marketing to begin with, perhaps this was an early attempt by an adviser to try and find something to match up with Chris's interests. If he prattled on about wanting to start up something and turn it into a success (which he likely did), then the adviser was likely choosing marketing for him as it would provide him a basic understanding of how to accomplish this and be easily transferable to any number of business degree programs available in Virginia. I am kind of lost on where CADD comes in. The only people I know who had CADD certificates are people going into tech fields like engineering. Chris struggled with the basic math courses required for marketing and has never demonstrated an understanding for abstract concepts that would be required for these programs. I do wonder who could have suggested this for him as I doubt that this was something Chris found for himself.

While on the subject of Chris's education, do we have any idea what his SAT or ACT scores were?

EDIT: Bob choosing CADD for Chris makes sense. I wonder what Bob believed Chris could possibly do with it though.

Did Chris have anything like a counselor or an adviser back in high school or community college? I know a number of colleges require you to meet with an adviser before registering for classes. The reason I ask is because Chris did have some sort of vision of where he wanted to end up professionally at one point in his life. Meetings with these people would have allowed Chris to further develop that "dream" into reality.

Of course, assuming Chris put any real effort into his studies.

As a community college counselor what do you say to an autistic man-child who tells you his professional goal is to be the original creator of the Sonichu comic series and related franchise elements?

Chris probably thought CADD was the closest thing he could use his drawing "talent" to succeed in (and conversely he expresses happiness with having acquired these skills as it helped with drawing Sonichu:

)

I highly doubt Chris took the SAT or ACT.

Where was this established? I can only remember one mention of maths on the Cwcki, and that was Chris pointing out he should have gotten a reward for "excelling" at it.
 
How much do you want to bet he submitted that drawing as a project in his cadd class.
 
I'd be intrested to hear Chris' thoughts on Minecraft. I doubt he'd enjoy it, as to get the most out of it requires patience and imagination. Neither of which Chris has.

I just thought, does Chris still watch porn?

Probably, I doubt Chris views it very often though. Barb's always watching Chris.

Being depressed and over-weight tends to do wonders for your sexual activity. You know, in opposite land. :lol:

It was accounting/business math that he flunked.

He thought he deserved many awards, it doesn't mean he actually deserved them.

"He has only produced two pieces of work. While one might assume they were two big projects over a long amount of time, the two pieces of work he produced were a map of his mall and an incredibly large 3D Mayor's Office about the size of a football field with nothing much inside it. Chris claims that he received an A+ for these projects which took him 'weeks to months' to complete.

A villain by the name of [cwc]CADD Chef[/cwc] appears in the comics, mocking Chris's designs for his mall. The CADD Chef is based on Chris's real life CADD teacher, who most likely gave Chris a bad grade on his real life mall designs."

Why exactly is he a chef? And what's with the really tiny man next to him?
Also he may or may not be a ripoff of Chef from South Park.

I always took this to imply that Chris' real life professor resembled Chef, meaning he was probably just a regular black man with no other apparent similarities to the character and Chris was being a baby as usual when he introduced the character to the comics.

He even has the same pose as a South Park character. It looks refrenced to me, at least the body because the head is utter shit.
