the modules i flunked are pretty easy modules..Originally posted by Fatum:it was intellectually challenging ... and I like solving problems ... and that was what kept me going .... I suppose computer science NOT being engineering helps ....
but i'm definitely not geeky in the way other people are ... i don't get fascinated by sim lim, or the latest linux releases or anything like that ... I don't subscribe to tech magazines, and I certainly don't contribute to any tech blogs ...
a computer is just a dumb piece of machinery ... I don't get people whose lives revolves around them ...
as long as u read thru the text or notes
i hated them so much... i can't even lift the paper to the nxt page after 2 pages of reading
i rmb dreaming of my course administrator getting knocked down by a car
and someone else came in n say we're changing ur course back to the one u enrolled for initially

Perhaps, but the learning process is the result too no?Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:u are classic example of entity learners produced by our education system
focusing on the results and not from the learning process
afraid to take risk because afraid to fail - that's why always must try and be right as often as possible.
-wa.. not bad.. the article i kenna forced to read come in useful-
you mean you are afraid to take risk becuase you are afraid to succeed?
I don't want to be right, I don't care if i;m right. I just want to do well for myself. Hmmz, its a trap? if i say i want to be right your above criticism stands, if i say i want to be wrong then some one comes in an dberates me about my lack of morals or scruples?

Oh... and how about this one....
My tuition kid's Chemistry teacher forced her class to memorise the chemical formula of every single chemical in the syllabus.
That is to say, she has to memorise the chemical formulae of sodium hydroxide, potassium nitrate, silver sulphate, aluminium carbonate, etc etc.... literally hundreds of them.
I slapped my forehead and told her straight in the face: 'When your teacher was your age, she DID NOT memorise the formula of all these chemicals.'
Then I simply taught her to remember the formulae of the important anions (sulphate, carbonate, nitrate) and taught her how to couple that information with the Periodic Table to get the required formula.
E.g. for sodium carbonate, just remember that carbonate has a charge of -2. From the Periodic Table, you can see that sodium has an oxidation state of +1. And so, coupling these two pieces of information together, you can get the formula of sodium carbonate: [b]Na2CO3.
And suddenly, Chemistry became so much easier for my tuition kid - all because I did what that freakin' teacher should have done in the first place.[/b]
but i know NaCL is salt<-- redeeming quality? -
tat's why i skipped A levels and did a design dip instead...Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:AAAaaaaaaaaaahhhh...

but accounts is really a damn blardy boring job. how they can work on it for the rest of their lives is beyond me.
And you may notice that after being in a/cs for a few years, they become "inward-looking " and fail to see beyond what they do, and they wonder why others question the way they do things...coz to them, everything is must follow the books in the exact one way that they know, whether or not it makes sense anymore. -
diplomas frm AU usually within 1 year but u need to go for higher diplomasOriginally posted by viciouskitty74:i really dont mind doing legal studies.
is there any available part time.....that is like can complete in 1 year?
if UK den around 2yrs +
if degree... think its 2 years? part time -
and why are u doing something totally unrelated to design?Originally posted by tare:tat's why i skipped A levels and did a design dip instead... -
u are lucky to know what u want during that time in ur life...Originally posted by tare:tat's why i skipped A levels and did a design dip instead...
at tt time, i was completely clueless

history, yeah it prints out what happend when and how, not sure abotu the why thoughOriginally posted by ShrodingersCat:history discusses who did what, to who and why, and what happens after that
literature analyses who did what, to who and why, and what happens after that
Human geography examines human interaction on environment, why and its impact(what happens after that)
never pay attention la during ur humans class...
hehehhe might be politics. thats about it. end of the day not useful for anything so far.... If it was structured to be different and let the students figure out why the pple did what and how they could have prevented their downfall; it might be useful though -
10 yr series!!!!! aaaarrrggghhh...Originally posted by KittynMeow:oh yes.... I remember those painful 10-year series exercises..... hated those too though they did get me a B3 for O levels.... so by the time i got to A levels, i decided to say bye to Maths... hahhaa

Aye.....but as I do not have 3 o levels. I am required to take on a 6 months foundation course.Originally posted by Fatum:there's a dip course in one of the polys ...
Then do their 1 year certificate course.
then do their 3 years diploma course.
then i can consider a 3-5 years degree course.
with 6 months pupilage and 1 more year of the PLC....then I can be.....gasp....a lawyer! -
err mebbe ur history teacher failed to do that, but that is definitely an essential part of learning history.Originally posted by hisoka:history, yeah it prints out what happend when and how, not sure abotu the why though might be politics. thats about it. end of the day not useful for anything so far....

However, learning history doesn't need to be limited to classroom or curriculum, or what the teacher teaches.
at the very least, armed with the basic knowledge of who did what when and how, its really up to the individual to conjecture on why and what else could have been done. It will still be useful to the person even if this is not examinable, and not part of the curriculum. -
I think I be a nanny better.
