Hate UML?Draw sequence diagrams in seconds.
In a job interview, I once asked a very experienced embedded software developer to write a program that reverses a string and prints it on the screen. He struggled with this basic task. This man was awesome. Give him a bucket of spare parts, and he could build a robot and program it to navigate around the room. He had worked on satellites that are now in actual orbit. He could have coded circles around me. But the one thing that he had never, ever needed to do was: display something on the screen.
Some people have a knack for asking the right questions to spot awesome developers in a job interview. Other interviewers dread it, come in with their tail between their legs, ask a few questions from the Internet and just go along with the group decision. But interviewing is an essential skill for most developers. A bad hire has terrible long term consequences, because eventually a sub-par employee may bring others into the organization. On the other hand, unfairly excluding an awesome candidate also hurts.
A programming interview includes at least three parts. In part I, we prove any assumptions we have after reading the resume. In part II, we get a sense for how much true experience the candidate has. Finally, we test this experience using a few spot checks and a coding question.
Candidates should use the resume to portray themselves in a positive light. (See The Completely Honest Resume). However, there is a line where this positive portrayal becomes misrepresentation. In the example above, I wasn't as concerned as my colleague, because I already assume that everything on the resume is false until proven otherwise. If the resume says, "expert in technology X", then I will assume that the candidate merely knows the name of technology X. If the resume says, "Worked in a group that created a multi-threaded stock trading platform," then I will assume that the candidate merely chose the colours for the background. I used to be less strict until I met the guy with 10 years of experience who couldn't write code. If someone says that they wrote the text formatter in OpenOffice, or has a Ph.D, it is easy to make assumptions about their skills. Assume nothing. All must be tested.
For each relevant item on the resume, I first try to get a sense of what the candidate actually did. Then, I get him or her to prove it by talking about it.
Having more experience is a good indication of awesomeness. Experienced developers have made mistakes. They know when, and when not to apply design patterns. They have a sixth sense about what part of requirements will probably change, and what part will probably stay the same. They know when to be lazy and when to be pedantic. It is true experience which makes the gap between awesome and mediocre programmers so wide.
But not all experience is the same. It is certainly possible for someone to gain solid skills in a couple of years, simply by working on lots of different things, writing and rewriting countless lines of code, and making many mistakes. On the other hand, it is also possible for someone to spend a decade writing one-line changes to a single project, without learning anything new.
Many awesome programmers do all of their coding at work. These are great, well, rounded individuals that you should definitely hire. However, doing personal programming projects outside of work or class is a pretty good indicator of awesomeness. A candidate with personal programming time simply has more flight time under his or her belt, and will be better for it. No personal projects? These other indicators will also count for some points:
After gaining a sense of the candidate's true level of experience, it is important to verify that experience testing their programming abilities. A few minutes of time is completely inadequate for a true test, but that's all that's available. We can get an idea of the breadth and depth of knowledge of the candidate by asking questions about different areas of software development. Of course your perception of the candidate's skills will be biased by your own experiences. You cannot judge the correctness of answers in topics that are unfamiliar to you. That's why there are several interviewers.
The specific topics depend on the job requirements. Nevertheless, some example areas are:
Each area that I choose has a selection of basic questions ("What's a semaphore?"). These are so basic that if the candidate has done any work at all in the area he or she would be able to answer. Each area also has some more detailed follow-up questions. The way in which a candidate answers can prove or disprove awesomeness. For example something is amiss if you ask a seasoned embedded programmer to convert 0x4c to binary, and they start by writing down 4 x 16 + 12.
Usually, after all of the above, I have a very good idea whether the candidate will pass or fail, but the coding question removes all doubt. It is so important, that even phone interviews are not exempt. To be useful, a coding question requires careful thought and planning before the interview. Asked the wrong way, the response will be useless.
First, one must choose a question based on what the candidate has had experience with. You may have a clever problem that becomes easy if you think of converting everything to intersecting 3D planes. Save it for the lunch hour with your colleagues. If the job does not involved 3D graphics, candidates would be unfairly excluded.
The question must be precisely worded. "Write a function to shuffle a deck of cards" is woefully ambiguous. Provide the function header and avoid misunderstandings, which are all too common. If you are not careful, the candidate will answer a harder or easier problem than the one you asked. The harder one is nice, unless it causes him or her to freeze up. The easier one provides no information. To prevent a huge waste of time, ask for a verbal outline of the solution after a few minutes, to check if the candidate is on the right track.
The order in which you ask questions can profoundly influence the thought processes of the candidate. For example, I used to ask question about hash tables when I thought the candidate knew about them. Later on in the interview, I would ask a coding question that had nothing to do with hash tables. Candidates would invariably decide to use a hash table in their implementation, with the keys being unique, consecutive integers starting at 0. If I avoided talking about hash tables, the candidates would instead choose to use an array.
Candidates are also strongly influenced by you in their choice of language. For example, if you say the job primarily involves Java, every candidate will swear that, by golly, Java is his best and favourite language to work in. He will choose to use it for all coding questions, realizing too late that he can't remember how to declare variables in the language he is "best" at.
The guidelines above do not address everything. They focus on experience, and they might miss awesome developers that have little experience, but a lot of innate ability. In particular, interviewers may want to test problem solving ability using puzzles that don't require any coding.
The interviewing technique that I have described here is based on proving a hypothesis, probability, and gut instinct. The hypothesis is that the candidate is an awesome developer. What traits does an awesome developer have? You cannot directly measure those traits, so you have to instead ask: What is the probability that the candidate has those traits given that he or she can answer a particular question quickly? It is not possible to assess a candidate within an interview with 100% success, but by asking thoughtful questions, you can come close.

Again, this is just my opinion, but I don't think you can condense 20 years of experience into a 60 minute interview. That's why we have things like probation periods.
Very true.
haha! Have seen poaching work wonderfully when done at the right time && with the right carrots on sticks.
>>test problem solving ability using puzzles that don\'t require any coding
A few firms that I know use this method to recruit people by truckloads, off colleges. But only a few of those turn out to be good at programming as I have seen. IMHO, the capability to solve puzzles would be a necessary but not a sufficient condition.
I have come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as innate programming ability (or innate ability in general). Read the book "Talent is overrated" as well as "Outliers" by Malcom Gladwell. Persistent practice trumps what appears to be innate talent. And persistence is generally driven by interest. That's why I like to look at personal side projects - stuff the interviewee is working on in their free time without being paid for it.
An alternative version of this: "Ten years of experience or one year repeated ten times?"
Jaco> If you ask me a bunch of stupid questions I might lose interest in your company and go somewhere else.
I used to think like that. Then I sat on the other side of the table too many times. Now I know that one bad hire costs a hell of a lot more than missing several good ones.
At this point, I intend to start with one question: "Do you have any publicly readable code we could look at?" If the answer is yes, I'm biased towards hiring; if the answer is no, I'm biased against hiring.
The interview process works both ways. It is vital to determine if you can work for these manglers. My favorite memories are of hacks who lied constantly, backed out of commitments, agreed to project schedules & then ignored the schedule and demanded the finished products immediately, as if the plan is all that it required, changed specs almost daily and best of all, refused to honor compensation agreements as soon as they got the finished product.
Get references about the people you'll be working for; if you are smart enough to do this you can hack it. Otherwise you might be more suited as a mangler trying to guess if a programmer is any good or not. Unless you are thick skinned and cognisant of the blame games C students play before you go in, a bad management experience can damage your love for your craft and your confidence.
Save your best ideas until you have successfully gone around the SDLC without being stabbed in the back. The last few years things have gotten out of hand, with alleged outsourcing costs dropping and MS releasing a new crop of doodads which seldom live up to possibly inaccurate marketing claims... made by other C students who didn't make it through any symbolic math classes due to the rigorous integrity this requires. Stupid is forever & idiots you can't delegate away from will always wear you down.
The less you say the better. Say enough to get the job, don't impress them too much. They'll be skinning you and hanging your head on their wall before you get out of the room. If they start drooling show them something shiny, refer to magic & run for your life.
If you get a real crooked bunch they may try to encumber your IP for the rest of your life. You should be able to screw them up enough to leave you alone but they sometimes jump out of the bushes years later, claiming what you are doing is based on what you did for them. Better to never work professionally than write one line of code for these pimps.
I am rather fond of 1 patent lawyer. He never wrote any code, he's 'awesome' with this body of law. Coders who became lawyers make me nervous, like Lestat, and for the same reasons. Keep your personal IP lawyer on retainer so your employer can't hire him away from & undermine your support team.
If you want to find out if a programmer is any good, once you've vetted them let them spend between 20 minutes to 1 hour with the developers they'll be working with. Let them sample the kinds of projects they'll be working on, if not the actual project. Stick your head in toward the 2nd half & observe the interaction, then after they leave ask your people what they think. Unless you are Catbert this is much easier & accurate than devising labyrinthine one time pad interview trciks, or catchall methods that sort of work some of the time.
Poaching is for C students. If your company is any good the A+ students will find you. Try to be smart enough not to throw them out, or give them a broom. Believe me, it comes back.
Languages are tools; they come and go. (Ghu, I wish I had the time back I spent teaching myself Ada...for nothing.) The real gold is knowledge of algorithms, data structures, models--the things that transcend any language. Problem solving, not codeslinging _per se_. Codeslinging comes fast for any experienced developer--I can ramp up in any language I've used before but not used in 5 years in a day or two; a new one may take a few more days. But I probably couldn't write compilable code on that first interview. I probably don't remember all the library calls--I'll remember they *exist*, but not the syntax.
On that basis, you wouldn't get me in the door. And it'd be your loss.
Don't hit them for a particular language and a compilable example; demand algorithmic pseudo-code and give them something that requires understanding the issues at hand (e.g., interprocess communication, etc.)
If someone asked me to convert hex to decimal or binary manually, I'd ask why? In 15+ years of development work, I've never had to do it. And yes, I know the difference between hex and decimal.
I've also been on the other side of the table, and it's tough sometimes to find what the interviewee is all about. I have used the white board approach with some good success. For example, if I'm looking for a .Net developer, I might ask them to write a few lines of code to perform a certain function which pertains to the job requirements. One young interviewee who claimed to have good experience in ASP was asked to create a recordset from a command object, and couldn't do it. Really? No job for you.
Either way, on both side of the table, it's part skill and part art. I have found that team players with a positive attitude and a willingness -- even a desire -- to learn make the best hires, regardless of whether they can convert hex to decimal.
If someone doesn't know that a semaphore is an OS construct and not a part of any language, then I don't want them wasting my time on "probation". So I'm going to ask a LOT of "stupid questions". And I do expect them to do the same. Next.
> construct and not a part of any language, then I
> don't want them wasting my time on "probation".
> So I'm going to ask a LOT of "stupid questions".
> And I do expect them to do the same. Next.
Ummm, which OS uses the term semaphore? Do you think everyone you interview will have used that OS? I've written C for more than one OS that didn't call them semaphores.
Possibly related to the take-home problem, also ask for a one page sample of technical English. You're interested in grammar, spelling and logic. Just my opinion, but if a programmer can't clearly explain something technical, they can't design or code either.
I'd be careful with the specific questions (your Part III lead-in). Just because buddy says he knows concurrent programming, that doesn't mean he can (or ought to be able to) define a semaphore. And don't ask a candidate about a specific data structure if you can truthfully admit that you yourself had to look it up in the last couple of years. And given that a multitude of programmers use design patterns without ever having read all that much about them, don't assume that not knowing what a Builder or a Flyweight or a Strategy pattern is means that the guy doesn't know how to employ these patterns to solve problems.
I don't think your guidelines are that far off the mark, mind you.
Semaphores are a specific type of synchronization primitive and are common in the operating systems I have used.
Linux, FreeBSD: sem_init
Windows: CreateSemaphore
OS X: semaphore_create

OK, so I had my iPhone fully charged. I took it off the charger this morning and took it to my car. It paired with my in-car hands-free headset via Bluetooth and remained paired.
So, phone fully charged, BT on. Took off charger at 6:30am. Paired with my hands-free for 1 hour 20. I made maybe 55 minutes of calls via BT, and maybe 10 minutes of EDGE internet surfing. I got to class. and was in class from 9:05 -> 1:15pm. I made maybe 60 minutes of calls on the way home, and used the EDGE Internet for about 25 minutes as well.
So, total talk time for about 2 hours, and EDGE Internet (T-Zones) for maybe 35 minutes. BT on the whole time.
By now, 5:30pm, my battery is pretty darn low. Maybe 30%. I haven't gotten the low battery warning.
Can anyone tell me if this is normal usage battery life?
Thanks in advance

Women at the Forefront of Climate Action
Mussarat Farida Begum runs a small teahouse in Garjon Bunia Bazaar, a rural community in Bangladesh. As part of a program which has helped Bangladesh reach more than 2 million low-income rural households and shops with electricity, she bought a solar home system for $457, initially paying $57, and borrowing the rest. She repays the loan in weekly installments with money she earns by keeping her now-lighted chai shop open after dark. Her business is booming and her family lives much more comfortably with their increased income. They now have electricity at home and their children can study at night.
Women like Mussarat are at the forefront of our efforts to secure development by tackling climate change. On the one hand, they are disproportionately vulnerable to the impacts of extreme events. But it is also women who can make a difference to change entrenched behaviors. It is their decisions as entrepreneurs, investors, consumers, farmers, and heads of households that can put our planet on a greener, more inclusive development trajectory.

NJ mayor ratchets up allegation against Christie
Blagojevich prosecutor to lead NJ scandal inquiry
NJ's Christie apologizes again for payback scheme
Christie arrives in NJ town to apologize to mayor
Christie, McAuliffe, winners in slate of elections
ASBURY PARK, N.J. (AP) — The 2016 overtones were clear in this year's two most high-profile elections.
Republican Gov. Chris Christie's resounding re-election victory in Democratic-leaning New Jersey sets the opening argument for a possible White House run while Terry McAuliffe's gubernatorial victory gives fellow Democrats — if not his confidante Hillary Rodham Clinton, herself — a road map for success in the pivotal presidential swing-voting state.
Christie became the first Republican to earn more than 50 percent of the New Jersey vote in a quarter-century. McAuliffe is the first member of the party occupying the White House to become Virginia governor since 1977.
Among a slate of off-year balloting from coast to coast, New York City voters also elected Bill De Blasio, making him the first Democrat to lead the nation's largest city since 1989. Colorado agreed to tax marijuana at 25 percent, and Houston rejected turning the Astrodome into a convention hall, likely dooming it to demolition. Alabama Republicans chose the establishment-backed Bradley Byrne over a tea party-supported rival in a special congressional runoff election in the conservative state.
Turnout was relatively light — even in the most hard-fought races. Without presidential or congressional elections on the books, voters were primarily hard-core partisans. But to win, both gubernatorial victors sounded a tone of pragmatic bipartisanship — at a time of dysfunctional divided government in Washington — and, because of that pitch, they managed to cobble together a diverse cross-section of voters from across the political spectrum.
In Virginia, McAuliffe eked out a smaller-than-expected victory over conservative Republican Ken Cuccinelli. Exit polls found Cuccinelli fared well among core right-flank constituents — tea partyers, gun owners and rural voters. But the victor, McAuliffe, held advantages among unmarried women, voters who called abortion a top issue and the vote-rich Washington suburbs.
"Over the next four years most Democrats and Republicans want to make Virginia a model of pragmatic leadership," said McAuliffe, a Democrat taking the helm in a state where Republicans control the Legislature. "This is only possible if Virginia is the model for bipartisan cooperation."
Democrats won the top two offices in Virginia, while the attorney general's race was too close to call. Democrats, who already control both Senate seats, hoped this election would give them control of all major statewide offices for the first time since 1970, a rejection of the conservatism that has dominated for the past four years.
"Virginia's on its way becoming reliably blue," Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said.
In New Jersey, Christie coasted to a second term, defeating little-known Democratic state Sen. Barbara Buono.
He assembled a winning coalition with broad support among constituencies that don't reliably vote Republican. Exit polls show that Christie carried a majority of women and split Hispanics with Buono. He improved on his share of the vote among blacks in 2009 by more than 10 percentage points.
Christie's advisers saw his ability to draw support from Democrats, independents and minorities as a winning argument ahead of 2016, pitching him as the most electable candidate in what could be a crowded presidential primary field.
"As your governor, it has never mattered where someone is from, whether they voted for me or not, what the color of their skin was, or their political party. For me, being governor has always about getting the job done, first," Christie told supporters inside a rowdy convention hall in Asbury Park, N.J., just steps away from the same Jersey Shore that was devastated by Superstorm Sandy a year ago.
Taken together, the results in individual states and cities yielded no broad judgments on how the American public feels about today's two biggest national political debates — government spending and health care — which are more likely to shape next fall's midterm elections.
Even so, Tuesday's voting had local impact.
Other races of note:
—In Alabama, the GOP's internal squabbles played out in the special congressional runoff primary election. Bradley Byrne, a veteran politician and the choice of the GOP establishment, won against tea party favorite Dean Young. The race was the first test of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's promise to try to influence primaries. The group had pumped at least $200,000 into supporting Byrne.
—Big city mayors: In New York, de Blasio cruised to victory over Republican Joe Lhota after Michael Bloomberg's 12-year tenure. Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, Minneapolis, Seattle and other cities also chose mayors.
—Colorado: Voters agreed to tax marijuana at 25 percent and apply the proceeds to regulating the newly legalized drug and building schools. And 10 rural counties refused to approve secession from the state. One county narrowly voted to secede, but it was a symbolic gesture.
Elliott reported from Virginia. Associated Press Director of Polling Jennifer Agiesta, and writers Bill Barrow and Christina Almeida Cassidy in Georgia, Kristen Wyatt in Colorado, Chris Grygiel in Washington state, Corey Williams in Michigan, Thomas Beaumont in Iowa and Nedra Pickler in Washington contributed to this report.
UPDATE: Authorities: NJ mall gunman found dead of self-inflicted gunshot
PARAMUS, N.J. (AP) - Authorities say a man suspected of firing multiple shots and causing a lockdown at New Jersey's largest shopping mall has been found dead of a self-inflicted wound.
Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli says the body of 20-year-old Richard Shoop of Teaneck was found in a back area of the Garden State Plaza mall in Paramus early Tuesday. He says Shoop killed himself with the same weapon he used at the mall and that a note has been found.
There were no other injuries.
Police received reports of man who fired multiple shots shortly before the mall's 9:30 p.m. closing time on Monday, sending customers and employees rushing hysterically for the exits and hiding places.
The mall, which has more than 270 stores, is located in Bergen County, about 15 miles northwest of Manhattan.
NJ offices add hours for marriage sign up
JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) — City halls in several New Jersey cities and towns are adding extra office hours today to accept marriage license applications for same-sex couples.
The state's highest court says the marriages can start Monday. Jersey City, Hoboken, and Asbury Park clerk's offices will be open today.
Gov. Chris Christie says he disagrees with the state Supreme Court ruling to recognize same-sex marriages in the state, but he will comply with the decision. He says the people, rather than the courts, should have been the ones to decide the issue.
Meanwhile, U.S. Sen.-elect Cory Booker says he will officiate at weddings of both gay and heterosexual couples as the mayor of Newark. Booker was elected this week to the Senate and has been a strong supporter of gay rights.
Sandy continues to damage Jersey shore with fire
TOMS RIVER, N.J. (AP) — Superstorm Sandy still isn't done with the Jersey shore — investigators are blaming the storm for damaging electrical wiring that touched off last week's devastating boardwalk fire in Seaside Park and Seaside Heights.
And they also said similar danger could be lurking elsewhere underneath other boardwalks, businesses or homes that were exposed to flood waters from the Oct. 29 storm.
"I'm sure on every boardwalk everywhere (at the Jersey shore), there may be compromised wiring," said Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato. "We don't want to start a panic mode; we just want to be reasonable. If you're a property owner and you think your electrical work came in contact with water and sand, we strongly recommend you have it inspected."
Gov. Chris Christie's administration decided the state will use Sandy-recovery money to pay for debris removal. He also pledged $15 million in Sandy money to help rebuild the burned businesses.
Christie said Tuesday the state will let businesses affected by the fire postpone filing sales and use tax returns that were due this month until Oct. 21 to help them recover.
The boardwalk fire began accidentally Thursday in aged wiring that had been compromised by salt water and sand during the Oct. 29 storm, federal and county investigators said at a news conference Tuesday. The wind-whipped blaze destroyed more than 50 businesses in the two towns.
Seaside Heights Mayor William Akers, reached after the briefing, said there is no issue with potentially compromised wiring on the surviving sections of the boardwalk.
"We did a total rebuild. All 16 blocks got all new wiring," he said.
In Point Pleasant Beach, one of the approximately half-dozen Sandy-ravaged towns where businesses with electrical connections are located on the boardwalk, Mayor Vincent Barrella said streetlight wiring is all new in a section of the boardwalk that was rebuilt last winter.
But he said about half the boardwalk, including sections in front of businesses, still needs to be redone this winter. After the prosecutor issued his warning, Barrella said he instructed borough officials to work with the local electric company and identify any wiring that might need to be replaced as part of the upcoming work.
Flood-damaged wiring caused fires in several houses in Sandy-damaged communities once power was turned back on last November. Many homeowners had to replace their electrical wiring and main electrical boxes before moving back in.
Investigators said last week's fire began in wiring that dated to the 1970s, and was located under a Kohr's frozen custard stand and the Biscayne Candies shop last Thursday afternoon.
Jessica Gotthold, a senior special agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said investigators located wires under the boardwalk that somehow came in contact with each other, causing an electrical arc that is believed to have started the fire. Coronato said those wires had been exposed to the storm surge and grating sand action of the storm, which compromised them.
But as far as why the wires contacted each other, he said, "we will never know."
The prosecutor said the investigation ruled out all other possible causes of the fire, including careless smoking or a deliberate act of arson. The wiring was inaccessible to the public, he noted.
Authorities even pulled financial records of the businesses involved in the blaze to make sure no one had a financial motive to start a fire.
"We left no stone unturned," he said. "This was not a suspicious fire."
BREAKING: 16 NJ workers have 1 of 3 tickets for $448m Powerball
LITTLE EGG HARBOR, N.J. (AP) - Two New Jersey officials say 16 workers from a county garage in Toms River have one of the three winning tickets in the $448 million Powerball jackpot.
The Press of Atlantic City reports that Ocean County Vehicle Maintenance Department Director Jim Pine and Freeholder Jack Kelly say the employees have the ticket sold at an Acme Markets store in Little Egg Harbor.
Pine says they're a group of "wonderful, hardworking people," who showed up for work on Thursday.
Paul White, a 45 year old project engineer from Ham Lake, Minn., claimed his third of the jackpot Thursday. He's taking a lump sum, which will amount to $58.3 million after taxes.
The holder of the third ticket, also from New Jersey, hasn't come forward yet. That ticket was sold in a supermarket in central New Jersey.
New Jersey to crack down on buses after infant's death
JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) - A northern New Jersey sheriff's office has impounded a commuter bus in the first seizure that's part of a new crackdown on the private buses.
Authorities say the driver of a similar bus was on a cellphone when he hit a pole that fell and killed an 8-month-old this week.
A spokesman for the Hudson County Sheriff's Office said officers pulled over a jitney bus Thursday afternoon after it ran a red light and found the driver had a suspended license.
The crackdown was announced Thursday, two days after a bus driven by Idowu Daramola plowed into a pole that fell and killed 8-month-old Angelie Paredes.
Daramola made a brief court appearance Thursday. He's charged with death by auto, reckless driving and using a cellphone while operating a vehicle.

Food so-so – I went there for the grand opening and was very excited about doing so because I had heard this place was being opened by the same owners that used to run Appethai on Calle Real. Appethai had great food. This place, not so much. I can't even remember what I ordered but I do remember that it was bland and unimpressive. I haven't been back yet, and perhaps I should give it another shot, but what I had that first time left me unimpressed.

Hack Your Program: The University of South Carolina's School of Library and Information Science
16/06/2011 § 13 Comments
*Disclaimer: These are my personal opinions and are not representative of the student body, the University of South Carolina, or the School of Information and Library Science. I started in Fall 2010 as a full-time, out-of-state student. All criticism is meant to be constructive.
When I tell people I am from Seattle and go to school down here,the first thing they ask me is, "why?" My stock answer is that, "I really like Hootie and the Blow Fish," which I follow up with a, "No really it's not as crazy as it sounds." In reality I came here for the opportunities. Even before Micah was talking about hacking library school it's what I had planned on doing. Thankfully Micah started talking about it, so now I have the vocabulary to discuss my strategy for making it in library land. USC has an up and coming Library School. We have a good staff, decent course offerings, and lots of opportunities here in Columbia.
USC (as we call ourselves in the abbreviated form) or SoCar (as I refer to the school) offers a B.A., MLIS, several certificates of advanced study, and Ph.D. in Information and Library Science. The MLIS program offers on classes on campus and online. The distinction between on campus and online cohorts is minimal with students in either able to take classes through either delivery method. However, many core classes are only taught online, so students in Columbia will have to take online classes, but not necessarily vice versa.
Concentrations and/or specializations:
There are three concentration areas at SoCar; School Library Media (our program is rigorous and ranked extremely well), Public Library (especially youth services, which benefits from the school library media program), and academic libraries. In addition we have a significant number of instructors who have digital and special library experience. Basically we do it all, but the more you get away from youngsters the thinner offerings become.
Financial aid:
Almost all the professors, especially those doing research in the field have two graduate assistants. Outside of the department there are numerous graduate positions in the university library system, and a few graduate assitantships with the local library district. Not to mention that there are multiple assistant positions in all parts of the university. There's limited scholarship money, but if you have an assistantship, or $500+ in scholarships your tuition is set at instate levels which are extremely reasonable. Last year I was able to live off my assistantship in the library and aid without having to find other work, which let me focus on other professional development opportunities.
The MLIS is a 36 credit hour degree. Most classes are 3 credit hours, so most people graduate in 2 years. However a significant number of people who started with me are graduating early, choosing to leave in the fall instead of in the spring. We have 4 required classes: 701–Introduction to Library and Information Studies, 705– Introduction to Research in Library and Information Science, 705– Information Organization and Retrieval. 706—Introduction to Information Technology, is a required class that you can test out of, but testing out is harder than taking the class, so most people take it. That leaves 8 elective classes, which cover a wide variety, our course list is here.
So far I have taken all of the required classes with the exception of 705. 706 was a good refresher on the history of Technology, it built up and expanded my competency with html especially. 701 was a basic overview of library science and required us to go to the library to talk with a librarian. 707 was a detailed overview of information systems. It was, of all the required classes I have taken, by far the most detailed and useful course. That said 705 is a major course which covers research and draws concrete connections between librarianship and evidence based practice. However, I haven't taken it yet so I can't comment on its value.
Our elective classes cover a variety of topics from programming for Latino youth, to database management. We've several great digital libraries and collection classes, and are expanding these offerings to reflect changes in library job offerings and department staffing. While our course offerings in some areas are less developed then I would like, you can always do an independent study or internship to bridge the gap.
Internship availability:
USC has an equally large amount of internships available in the area, including in South Carolinia's top notch state library, Richland County Public Libraries, and the universities library system. Many of these internship possibilities are unpaid. However, USC students have been placed in internships in national museums and libraries in paid positions including CNN, the National Transportation Safety Library, and the Smithsonian. There are also significant volunteer opportunities in the area, especially with Cocky's Reading Express, a nationally recognized program to spread the joy of reading to children, and more importantly raise the literacy rate in South Carolina.
Student Involvement:
We have a lot of participation in our ALA student chapter, which was student chapter of the year in 2008. In addition we have an awesome Archival Students Guild, and we're in the process of setting up a student chapter of ASIS&T.
Our student chapter runs social events almost every week, one to two professional development events a month, and a quarterly symposium. In addition we provide conference funding for students to go to state and national conferences like SLA and ALA. Our student chapter's biggest fund raising activity is our Mildly Attractive Men of Library Science Calendar, which is a blast to make, and sells phenomenally well.
Why people should think about USC:
The opportunities for professional development: I really don't want to undersell this. There are a ton of things options for getting yourself ready for the job market. More than just working in a library you get a chance to practice librarianship while you're in school.
Dr. Sam:
Dr. Sam Hastings, our director, is an amazing woman. She's a former president of ASIS&T, and a phenomenally talented administrator. She loves her students and it's that love, and the energy that Dr. Sam brings to our building that makes our department a great place to be.
The Faculty: The faculty at USC is great. We may not have depth in every aspect of library science but we definitely have breadth, with at least one instructor in almost every aspect of our field. There is considerable depth in areas like youth services, school library media, and information science.
Technology: The novelist William Gibson once said that, "the future is here, it's just unevenly distributed." This is the way technology works at SoCar. We have a ton of tech; getting access to it can occasionally be tricky. However if you hunt around you can find what you need. For instance our graduate student lab is open with our building from about 8am until 8pm, and it has a lot of stuff on its computers, and if its freeware you can probably get it installed on a machine if you ask nicely.
South Carolina also has a great digital humanities program. This gives students with an interest in all things tech a chance to participate in projects which will shape our educational landscape in the future. It also lets students take what they have learned in course about technology, people, and information, and apply them to the real world. It's an invaluable experience.
Finally we are receiving a 3d scanner. That doesn't sound like a big deal in and of its self, but stop and think about it for a minute. A machine that can scan an object in three dimensions and create a digital representation. Ok, it doesn't do much for me, but I'm a book guy. However, for people interested in digital imaging, and the associated fields of study like meta-data this should put us on your radar.
Online classes: Because we are a mostly online program you think this would be a strong point. However, many classes still use a blackboard, and Adobe access model for content delivery and interaction. While this isn't on its face a problem, the paradigm minimalizes the potential of online education. Again this isn't an across the board challenge. Some classes do happen in the real world. Other classes use adobe breeze to create a virtual class environment. Still other classes have several on-site and live sessions that create a mix of two paradigms. The result is a hodgepodge of quality. Fortunately this is offset by being in Columbia, and taking the initiative to drop in on instructors. Being here with the opportunity, and the professors is awesome, but if either one of those things weren't a large factor in my education. I think my opinion of aspects of this program would be different.
How to hack SoCar's school of library and information science
1) Get involved in your classes. Getting involved and staying involved means you have to take initiative. It seems like something not worth saying. Trust me, it is.
2) Get involved in the libraries. With all the opportunity here this will be easy. Working in a library will also help you come to a greater understanding of what you want to do when you graduate. It will help you choose classes, and shape your course of study.
3) Swing for the fences. At the end of your time at SoCar you have to build a portfolio. There is the space here to do something big and create a strong foundation for your job hunt. Build something big. If it's a good idea, you'll have the support of the department. Grad school is for many a last opportunity to take advantage of the protection and resources the academy affords use it. Trust me, I'm organizing our InfoCamp.
I give my program an extremely high grade. Most of my problems living and going to school down here come from the huge locational and cultural shift. The problems with distance classes are resolving themselves as our university and departments develop a greater understanding of technology and distance education. South Carolina is a department with a lot of space and opportunity. If you seize on it the sky is the limit.

Good Post!
But you forgot about us Archives kids in your concentration discussion…. :(
Great post, Zack! As a recent graduate of USC's program, I can attest to its strengths and weaknesses. I would have liked to have seen more course offerings for those wanting to go into academic libraries or adult services in public. It seems that all the focus is on school libraries and youth services. I also more of the professors had a better grasp of the technology when structuring their classes.
Dr. Sam is ab fab!
I really enjoyed reading this post. I also graduated from USC SLIS — about 3 years ago. Like you, I moved to Columbia for school. Sometimes I found it frustrating to be there and have to do so much online, but I understand why they do it that way. What I took from your post is that the program is pretty good, but it can be exceptional if you really put the effort into your classes, getting to know your professors, and taking advantage of GA positions and internships. I think I got the most out of the program because of LISSA — I was the treasurer the year we won the ALA award. We did tons of fundraisers that year and made it to IFLA in Quebec City, an unforgettable experience. I had to GA positions — one for a professor and one at the School of Medicine Library. I also did an unpaid internship at the Historic Charleston Foundation (in Charleston, SC, of course). I learned so much from these "extra" activities. So yes, the program can be very frustrating for different reasons… but I don't believe any one program is perfect. The positives far outweigh the negatives. I would recommend that students go to Columbia if they are able, rather than staying online. Columbia's a pretty great place, to boot!
And yes, Dr. Sam is great, and I'm glad she's the director!
Great post, Zach. I've lurked at Hack Library School for a while, but obviously not attentively enough since I didn't realize I had a fellow SLISer here! I'm located in Charleston, doing my MLIS distance ed, and will finish the degree in December.
I just wanted to say, you're very right about the hit-or-miss nature of online coursework. I did my first MA in history at Clemson, in a traditional (and very intellectually rigorous) setting, so I found online courses to be disconcerting at first. It's easy to feel isolated as a distance ed student, and I often miss the kind of mentor relationship I had with a couple of my professors in my previous program. A lot of the experience depends on how professors structure their courses. I've done classes where I had almost no interaction with the professor or my classmates at all, and some where I feel like I'm actually back in the seminar room because the discussion is so good. I've found that the professors who have mandatory(ish) weekly sessions in Adobe Connect are the ones whose classes offer the best opportunity for collaboration. Prof. Feili Tu is very good at this, in my opinion. I'm taking her reference seminar right now, and so far it's been a great experience
To anyone else doing a distance ed/mostly online degree at USC (or any other school), I definitely stress the importance of taking the initiative yourself. Whether it's to line up an internship, or get a local chapter of your student organization together, these aren't things that are just going to fall into your lap.
I live in Charleston, SC. I wish there were more internship and job opportunities offered here by the MLIS program. There's tons offered in the Columbia area but when you offer a distance learning program, you should be able to offer more internships outside of the city where the school is located. I envy people who live in the DC area as well! They have lots of great internships.
I do agree that Dr. Tu is one of my favorite teachers. You can tell she doesn't just phone in her work. She really takes part in the teaching.
Just discovered this after a frantic internet search for more information regarding getting INTO the MLIS program at USC. I just took my GRE & my math score was so drastically different than my vocab. I have often wondered if I even have a disability in math. However my GPA (from USC) is high and I have strong references. If my GRE is a few points shy of what they say the minimum is will they even consider my application?

The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
Last year I introduced readers to one of the leading voices about Christianity and science, John Polkinghorne. I also helped BioLogos bring in another leading voice, Robert Russell. This new series introduces a third prominent Christian thinker, Lutheran theologian Ted Peters, Research Professor Emeritus in Systematic Theology and Ethics at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences (http://www.ctns.org/), and the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California.
There is often a worry that working in or studying science is a threat to faith, but stories of scientists who are Christians in the top ranks of academia show that this is not the case.
Carl's dramatic lines that opened his Cosmos were repeated in Cosmos II: "The universe is all there is, or was, or ever will be." When I told Haines Stiles that many people took that as a statement of atheism, he responded with surprise. "Really?" he said. "We just put that in because it sounded poetic!"
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
The affirmation of genuine chance and randomness in the universe does not rob the universe of meaning and purpose.
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
"Where many scholars in previous generations simply assumed that Christianity and science have always been in conflict—and not just over evolution—recent scholarship has decisively debunked that view. The main message from today's historians is complexity, not conflict."
Today's Origins News Round-up takes us from some cosmic data on the possible existence of life elsewhere in the universe, to some surprising theories about the origin of life, and some interesting general news and editorial items on science and religion.
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
We are often offended that God should have to accomplish anything in steps, as though that made him less divine and all-powerful. But engaging a child can be a fruitful remedy for the biases that have been woven into the fabric of our thinking over time.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
People who believe in miracles usually don't think of them as God's "breaking" the laws of nature but as God's being constantly attentive to his cosmos.
What do today's pastors think about science? What views do they hold on creation and evolution and how strongly do they hold them? How do origins issues impact their ministries? These were just a few of the questions that motivated us at BioLogos to commission a survey of pastors on origins
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
In this four part series, David Opderbeck explores the interesting relationship between God and his creation. He first looks at his transcendence over the material world. In one respect, God is completely distinct from all creation, yet he is also immanent, or present within all creation. Another aspect of God reflected in creation is his Triune nature. Just as love, fellowship, and delight exist within the Trinity, so these characteristics are present in the world, and experienced by humans. He completes his thoughts with a discussion about God's interaction with humans.

My cynicism meter is pegged after yesterday's coverage of the NCAA's decision on punishing Penn State. If the nation feels it is time to exact a pound of flesh from the players at Penn State, hard to figure what I would do as a player. Probably my first inclination would be to say, "Screw all of you, I'm going to hang tight with my school and we will show you we can do it." That would not last long though. The pressure for first tier players to leave will be mounting, day by day. By the end of the first week, I suspect every player on scholarship will have advised, will have thought this through and will have at least examined an exit option.
Have no idea what school will benefit from the NCAA firing squad, but the sad truth is, the first guys in 1st and 2d class to figure out the Titanic was really going to sink were the guys who got in the lifeboats first. Third class passengers were never given an option. So, some guys who would like to leave are not going to be given much of an option.
Never been a Penn State fan. Ever. Paterno was a boring figure, the uniforms are boring, the school just did not play any team I cared about, etc., but I don't like seeing young people thrown under the bus. Here's to hoping the guys who need to bail find a slot. If its UK, good for UK and good for them.

9:40am Thursday 22nd November 2012 in News
FIREFIGHTERS were called out yesterday to help pump out basements in East Park Road, Harrogate, and Scalby Road, Scarbrough, following heavy rain.
Roads were also temporarily flooded around the county, with several inches of water reported to be covering both sides of Elvington Lane near the school in Elvington, near York.
The beck on Main Street water was also said to be high, with water bubbling up through manhole covers.

Language is Power
On November 30th, Slate Magazine published an article on its Crime Blog examining the use of "consensual" conversations with police. How about a Friendly Frisking? focuses on the myth and reality of how language plays a role between civilians and police officers. J.D. Trout, PhD, Professor of Philosophy and Psychology at Loyola, and Janice Nadler, JD, PhD, Professor of Law, Northwestern University, studied how language supports a power dynamic that favors the police. Nadler, an expert on consensual language in law enforcement and Trout, an expert on the pragmatics of language, integrate theory and evidence to tell a compelling story of this relationship. You may review the Slate article, along with the original article published in the Oxford Handbook of Language and Law, 2012.


text: The bins of peanuts outside were uncovered, food safety inspectors reported, allowing birds to do on them what birds do. Employees failed to wash their hands regularly or to practice other basic hygiene. Salmonella was found in dozens of locations throughout the plant, which had shipped jars of peanut butter even though its own tests showed they were tainted with the potentially deadly bacteria. After more than 40 people were sickened, the plant closed voluntarily in September and the company's products were recalled. And yet Sunland Inc. announced plans to reopen the New Mexico facility, which sold organic peanut butter to Trader Joe's and other markets.

And You Thought the TT was Nuts
There was some extra buzz around last week's Isle of Man TT, due both to the escalating rivalry between John McGuinness and Guy Martin, and to the recently released 3D documentary Closer to the Edge, which details Martin's quest to win the TT. The TT is unmatched for spectacle and history, and is commonly considered the sole remaining "dangerous" sporting event, but in Ireland there is a series of knee-weakeningly awesome road races as exciting as and perhaps wilder than the TT. The most famous is held in Northern Ireland and is called the NorthWest 200.
Even hardened racers must think it's a little crazy. In the TT, riders blast though villages while knocking on the door of 190mph—but in the NW200, everyone races together (and a lot of the TT riders compete), so the bravery quotient is through the roof. The race is 200 miles long and is held on a nine-mile course over public roads.
The reason the NorthWest 200 is so intriguing is that it pits riders against one another on public roads. It's like every motorcyclist's dream come true: no cars on the road, one-way streets, no speed limits and a group of friends on superbikes. Admittedly, the course is tamer, shorter, and less scenic than the TT, but the wheel-to-wheel racing makes up for it. Check out the following video to see the mayhem (the May 2011 NW200 race weekend was cut short by heavy rains and a bomb scare, so the 2010 video will have to suffice. The quality is not the best but it captures the spirit of the race).
(Congratulations to Metzeler rider Guy Martin on finishing 3rd in last week's Senior TT–we were rooting for you Guy!)

LONG BEACH - St. Anthony High girls basketball coach James Anderson had little interest in talking about his team holding sole possession of first place in the Santa Cruz League following Tuesday's 72-36 victory over visiting Bell-Jeff.
"We've just put ourselves in position to tie (for first)," Anderson said, looking ahead to a Feb. 7 meeting on the Guards' Burbank campus. "We still have to go to their place."
Anderson instead talked up his squad's new-found toughness in its last two games, first in a 56-48 nonleague loss to Corona Centennial on Saturday and then Tuesday, when the Saints overcame an early deficit to improve to 4-0 in league play.
"Our biggest problem has been toughness. We haven't been tough," Anderson said, citing losses to Lynwood and Millikan in which St. Anthony lost leads. "We didn't match (those opponents') intensity.
"But Saturday was the first time we fought. We finally got tired of getting hit in the mouth. That was a good loss and we showed that toughness (versus Bell-Jeff)."
The Saints had a balanced attack featuring 16 points each from seniors Kendall Cooper and Sydney Heard. Fellow seniors Gaby Moura-Hayes and Stephanie Williams added 14 and 12 points, respectively, and Cooper had 12 rebounds and four blocks. Senior Jordan Jackson scored only two points but added four offensive rebounds and played solid defense over the second and third quarters, when St. Anthony outscored the Guards (9-6, 3-1) 40-17.
"Kendall played great," Anderson said. "And when Sydney and Jordan play well, we're all right. Both are so explosive."
Bell-Jeff held an 11-7 lead late in the first quarter and was ahead 13-12 entering the second. St. Anthony, however, turned up the defensive pressure at that point, forced nine turnovers and scored in transition. Heard scored nine points in the second quarter and had two steals, and Cooper found her offensive rhythm as well with 10 points on a variety of nice interior moves.
Tuesday's victory was the Saints' first over the Guards since 2007 and snapped Bell-Jeff's 40-game Santa Cruz League winning streak. The Guards' last league loss came to St. Mary's in 2008.
The victory also was Anderson's first over Bell-Jeff since taking over the St. Anthony program in 2008.
Senior point guard Tiffany Kho paced the Guards with 19 points, including 10 of their 16 points in the second half. Six-foot-two senior Maria Bankhead had five blocks and four rebounds but scored just six points before fouling out in the third quarter.
The Saints (11-9 overall) return to Santa Cruz League play Thursday at home against St. Mary's.

Recently, I read an article about welfare fraud. What really caught my attention is the dollar amount that was collected, which was more than $100,000. Now who pays this back? I hope it's not us hard-working citizens because we didn't commit the crime. Make them do community service and work off their debt (hence the word work).
Make drug testing a requirement. Maybe that will help cut down this crime. Go back to being a temporary assistance program. Control what types of food can be obtained with the EBT card. Make them get and keep a job.
I realize there are a chosen few who deserve to be on assistance, but I am not referring to them. I am referring to those who are committing fraud and currently getting away with it. Shame on you. There are people out there who could really use the help and you are ruining it for them. You know the saying: "One bad apple spoils the whole bunch."
Stop making working citizens pay for your laziness. We are sick and tired of supporting you. How is it that you can afford tattoos, alcohol, cigarettes, lottery tickets, even a nice car when you can't afford to buy groceries? Shouldn't there be some kind of concern about how they are paying for those luxuries?
