<p>I see people complaining about this a lot. I mean it is a 12-credit course, and on paper it sounds too interesting to be tedious. Even Echols Scholars complain about it! But perhaps it is?</p>
<p>I had a bathroommate in the comm school, she didn’t mind it. She said as long as you just put in the time and get the work done your grade will be good.</p>
<p>Would someone mind explaining to me a bit about what ICE is?</p>
<p>The official web site about it:
[Integrated</a> Core Experience](<a href=“http://www.commerce.virginia.edu/academic_programs/undergrad/Pages/ice.aspx]Integrated”>http://www.commerce.virginia.edu/academic_programs/undergrad/Pages/ice.aspx)</p>
<p>Basically 3rd-year comm students take one 3-hour class on monday-thursday, rather than a bunch of different classes.</p>
<p>^ Thanks for the link! </p>
<p>Does anyone have any personal experience with the ICE class?</p>
<p>AFAIK most of the workload is on these weekend projects that apparently consume entire weekends. </p>
<p>How much time is spent dealing with the company (indirectly or directly)? I mean, being able to analyse Kimberly Clark’s (or whatever firm you get assigned) finances and business model – and to propose future plans! – seems kind of cool. </p>
<p>How does it say, compare with the e-school workload?</p>
