learning and rememebring too much does affect ability to learn new stuff. which is why i delete most of the thigns i studied after the examsOriginally posted by fudgester:They actually think that seeking general knowledge actually 'crowds out' their academic knowledge from their brains.
Some of them go so far as to say that I'm worse off by wanting to know more things.
Not trying to brag, but somehow I still thrash most of them at the exams though.
So much for the 'crowding-out' theory. -
*me tosses notes aside*
Arrgh bugger it... as I said last night, I think my mind's already saturated. No further amount of last-minute revision is gonna help me in the test later.
I just hope all would be fine... in the first test in this module, I lost 10% of my total grade because of an ambiguously-worded question which the lecturer claimed wasn't ambiguous. Simply put, her command of the English language sucks.
In last week's test, I almost lost another 10% for nothing.... but I detected the ambiguity this time round and demanded that the teaching assistant announce a full and clear clarification.
This is the worst-ever lecturer I've had in NUS.

i thinkt he questions were planted and the answers ridiculous.Originally posted by laurence82:i think some people raised good questions on linking pay raise to GDP

anyway gdp is nto a good link. the politicians are at most as responsible for it as the businessmen and the global economy and trends. -
now then you know...
the moment she said he was playing a few months ago, i knew...
because WoW is EVIL
but seriously, some games are obsessive.. this is one of them because of the interaction and it's task and goal-related... it's very easy to just forget everything and be obsessive about achieving it...
in other news, have you guys seen what the PS3 can do?
you can enter their "world", create an avatar and go walk about in their world.. i think it's free.. you will meet others, go view their "records" of games, their "trophies"... each will have an apartment where they can display all these things..
each can also show off what they have downloaded (yes, you can download stuff with the PS3) and interact with players and denizens all over the world..
the stuff downloaded are games, previews, movie trailers.. stuff like that.. it's cool

how the hell do you delete stuff in your head?
seriously...
until now, all i have to do is to refer to a math book, and all the calculus stuff floods back and i can pretty much do calculus to a pretty advanced level..Originally posted by hisoka:learning and rememebring too much does affect ability to learn new stuff. which is why i delete most of the thigns i studied after the exams -

But I still have a life outside
Yes the victory of downing a hard boss feels great
It's like you achieved something
Like the rush I felt when we downed Gruul
But then again once you finish killing all the bosses it starts to get boring coz once you killed him once the times will be a breeze -

I would be more concerned about the guild he is in
Are they hardcore or casual players
Coz you really get the peer pressure on you if the guild is hardcore
They penalise you for not turning up and you can get kicked out from the guild too.
Mine's a casual guild and our mantra is "WoW is just a game. Real Life matters are more important"
Saying that, our guild master is not even level 70 because he is busy studying for his Masters Another officer is MIA coz she is busy with her PhD -

But if they do follow the news and current affairs, they will know that manufacturing/assembly is all headed over to countries like India and China and that they should seriously consider retraining for a different vocation based on how the local economy is restructuring instead of being caught by suprise when their factories announce a mass layoff or close shop altogether.Originally posted by hisoka:probably but i can see most of them will be able to go through life ok even if they end up ignorant.
i mean so what if the president of north korea got overturned; no real effects on them if they are just factory workers in singapore, not any they can change by knowing anyway.
There is no such thing as useless knowledge really.
