Someone working at TAMS frequently edits this page to make it more biased towards them.
The TAMS page looks like they paid someone to give them a better image.
Someone should mention that McConnell Hall is also a site of drug use and deviant sexual activity.
Somebody should discuss privileges like curfew extensions and travel weekends.
There are quite a few 'failed' TAMSters who never manage to leave Denton. Think it would be NPOV to mention that the strain of adjustment to the social and academic environment is too much for some students, or that many traditional students tend to shun the TAMS students? Don't want parents using Wiki for info to think it's a perfect wonderland before they send their kids off. Tallasse 15:17, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
Perhaps we should only have official clubs and organizations listed under that section? And then include a link to the TAMS Club site if they wish to see the rest of the clubs. There could be a great deal of clutter if we listed all the clubs. Dustice 19:11, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Please add Alumni per the standards found at Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Lists of people/ WP:BIO.
Along with trying to find citations and cleaning up bias, I'm proposing to change the structure to
"McConnell Hall" would be a subcategory under Student Life and the common rooms would be placed under that. Visitation, Disciplinary Rules, and Pranks would be merged under Rules and Regulations.
This section needs work and neutrality...
This article fails to cite its sources in most aspects, much of it should be deleted as it is a matter of opinion. -James Eldred
Also much of the technical aspects of admin and academics is a bit weak and needs to be expanded.
Do the student at tams have a forum or something a way to communicate?
Physics isn't hard at UNT, it is dead easy due to the curving of the grades. The only people who do poorly in physics are the students that don't do the homework, and instead use the spreadsheet (which is cheating) to get all the answers without doing any of the work.
Whoever Tawker is, you're playing semantics by repeatedly reverting the edits. Students aren't "asked" to leave. They are told, and required to come collect their belongings a week before the spring semester kicks back up (if they fail out in fall). "Asked" implies some sort of voluntary acceptance by the people being kicked out.-- Kugamazog 02:04, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
According to the policies stated in the TAMS manual, a forced expulsion and the offer to leave are different. The term "asked" is used in order to protect the student's record, as a forced expulsion counts as a disciplinary action, and an offer of resignation allows the student to leave with credit from their tenure as well as usually an offer to finish their education in other areas of study at UNT. A good deal ot students who "fail out" of TAMS either get their GED and continue their education immediately or finish their studies at their previous high school. Be careful of subjectivity in this article, any words used must come from a certified source. The source here would be the TAMS manual and the use of the word "ask." If you feel another term is correct, please cite your source and prove it. -- NateDSaint 21:48, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
As of the class of 09, you are required to take the engineering calculus-based physics. And it blows. The phoenix612 ( talk) 21:27, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
Class of 06 here. Always had to take Engineering calc based physics. Don't cry, UNT curves like mad in their science & math departments, and the physics class is kind of a joke if people are still doing the Physux Excel Cheat Sheet project. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timmeh.Chan ( talk • contribs) 05:27, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
Where do these numbers come from? It sounds like there were made up for a powerpoint presentation to impress the parents of potential applicants. I couldn't find these numbers on the TAMS website or anywhere else.
Most verifiable information regarding TAMS is produced by TAMS administration, and is therfore not verifiable. For example, students are told that while they are not guaranteed admission to the University of Texas at Austin, all who apply are accepted. This is blatantly false, as at least 10 were rejected out of the Class of '06. I assume this is to dupe foolish UT hopefuls into attending TAMS.

Well, the way that it works is that TAMS is an honors program, and is supposed to be covered by the honors system that was developed in the state of Texas, that is, anyone in the top 10% of your class gets automatic admission to a state school, and is automatically considered for a regents scholarship. As TAMS is an honors program, it's like being in the top 10%. Some reasons they may not have gotten in were:
I would say that the verifiable information regarding figures that are given are taken from exit polls and from student records that are used as promotional tools on campus. For the most part I think they're only verifiable within the department, but they are published in official UNT material, and therefore wikipedia worthy. It is also worthy to note that they may not be 100% accurate, however.
Hope this helps. -- NateDSaint 17:06, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Not true. TAMS doesn't report as top 10 percent, and so UT Austin does not automatically accept applicants. TAMU has "academic admit" but UT had no such option. This is mostly a failure on TAMS' part, as they don't properly communicate the rigors of the program to potential schools. 173.74.157.177 ( talk) 07:45, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
Hello all, and thank you for contributing to this school site. I'm part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Schools/Assessment team, and, as requested, I'm reviewing this page. I'm currently giving it a grade of Start on the Wikipedia 1.0 Assessment Scale and an importance of Low on this importance scale.
My reasoning is as follows: This article has lots of biased information and even a bit of unchecked vandalism. Needs referrences and quite a bit of other work. Adam McCormick 06:35, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I've heard a lot about some national league of schools similar to TAMS (residential higher-level high schools) which TAMS is officially a part of but lost touch with a while back. Does anyone know what this school league was or have any other information about it? kthxbai Occamsrazorwit ( talk) 06:36, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

The TAMS logo should be reuploaded as fair use of non-free media, like with the UNT logo page.
