“Discussion based because it gives you an opportunity to understand the material and then discuss it with your professor versus in a lecture setting, your teacher could be talking to you and you wouldn’t understand anything and then you’d just go home,” said Alina Hussain, junior public health major “Discussion based […]

Shark Speak: Finals are coming up soon— would you prefer to take them online or on paper in person ?
“I definitely prefer to take finals – or any test for that matter – in person. I think, subconsciously, the structure of a classroom setting encourages me to perform better. Also, with an on-paper exam, you never have to worry about technical difficulties like the site freezing or navigating a new web page.” –Jahleeya Muhammad […]
Shark Speak: With the rise of gun violence in the United States, what are some ways that NSU can help students feel safer?
“I think Nova could increase security and the blue light system between main campus and the Rolling Hills apartments. There is no public safety that patrols at Rolling Hills and since people walk to campus all the time, I think it would make it safer,” said Joscelyn Phillips, junior environmental science major […]
Shark Speak: How do you feel about the Homecoming Bash being in the Rick Case Arena on campus? Why?
“I’m entirely against it because homecoming used to be a really fun thing and now it’s just another crappy campus event that no one wants to go to. I’ve talked to a lot of people and nobody wants to go because it’s in the gym.” — Alyssa Antuna, junior biology major […]
Shark Speak: If you were trapped in one horror movie, which would it be and why?
“Probably one of the ‘Scream’ movies because I think I could really survive that, just hide out the entire time and escape from the killer and be the only person to have survived it. It would be fun and exciting.” said Taylor Haardt, freshman biology major. “I don’t really watch many horror […]
Shark Speak: What do you miss most from home?
“I never really liked the cold so I like it better here. I miss doing fun things with my family like picking out and carving pumpkins.” Spencer Hohm, freshman exercise science major, from Illinois “Well, I never really liked fall [in Pennsylvania] because it got cold, and I don’t like the cold. […]
Shark Speak: Do you prefer reading hard copy books or e-books, and why?
“I like all my books hard copy because I just like to hold the book in my hands. Holding the book in my hand will definitely make me want to read it more, especially with textbooks. With a hard copy book, it’s easy for me to document where I leave off unlike e-books which make […]
Shark Speak “How do you feel about the switch from Blackboard to Canvas?”
“I think that the switch has been a really positive one. Blackboard used to be an outdated program that I feel was often confusing to use. A lot of things were difficult to access, and now that we have Canvas, I have seen that it’s a much sleeker, more modern program for us to use. […]
Shark Speak: How could NSU better support commuter students?
“The roads in front of the Commons and Goodwin buildings. I want to actually use them, because I’m tired of them being closed and only one entrance being open for commuters. So I’d rather have more roads that lead to the opposite side of the school.” -Vladimir Grammont, freshman biology major […]
Shark Speak: Do the new hours of operation for shark dining, specifically the one-price dining, cater to student needs? Why or why not?
“Personally I definitely like the buffet option, but sometimes you just want something small and you don’t want to spend $10 on it so the UC is just not an option. I feel like places should stay open later because I have club soccer practice and we end at 10 p.m. so the only [place] […]
