The two minute warning has already been given and today one of my profs (for the class I'm getting whupped hardest in) dumped a big ol' steaming take home exam on us, due Thursday. Our final is next week. :wtc: Thursday, coincidentally, is also the new drop dead date for everything else we have (i.e. long-rear end reports).

Q: Ask me how long I've been awake for.

A: I don't know! :toot:

Jumping on things immediately is what I do whenever possible because I know that I'm a terrible procrastinator. Sometimes things just can't be helped, though, and you've just gotta take a big ol' bite of that poo poo sandwich and keep going until it's gone. I'm gonna try to get a few hours of sleep then get back at it. :sigh:

If you're lurking, let this be a lesson to you: get your poo poo done right the first time so that you're not doing it as a worn-out, sadbrains rear end in a top hat in your late twenties.

This morning, a different prof stopped reading from some of the material, sighed, then looked at me and said, "Naked Bear, I'm trying to teach them how easy it is to just read the textbook."

Yep.

Turns out that, this morning, when one of my profs said that today we'd write the final, he really meant that we would write the final exam in class today and then take the exam later in the week. Holy moley, what a break.

Meantime, I'm about to get murdered by two other exams, so here goes. :suicide:

EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND OPEN PALM SLAM A FIFTY PAGE REPORT ONTO THE DEAN OF STUDENTS DESK. ITS THE CHRONICLES OF MY CLASSMATES CHEATING AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE I START DESCRIBING THEIR MISCHIEF WHILE THAT HIPPIE PROFESSOR LOOKS THE OTHER WAY. I NOTE EVERY INSTANCE AND I NOTE EVERY INSTANCE IN DETAIL. MAKIN ALARM SOUNDS WHEN I SHOW VIDEO OF ME CATCHING THEM OR EVEN WHEN I REPORT THEM TO THE PROFESSOR. NOT MANY CAN SAY THEY STRICTLY ENFORCED ACADEMIC INTEGRITY. I CAN. I SAY IT AND I SAY IT OUTLOUD EVERYDAY TO PEOPLE IN MY COLLEGE CLASS AND ALL THEY DO IS PROVE PEOPLE IN COLLEGE CLASS CAN STILL BE IMMATURE JERKS. AND IVE LEARNED ALL THE TRICKS AND IVE LEARNED HOW TO MAKE MYSELF FEEL MORE RELEVANT BY STUDYING EM ALL. 2 HOURS INCLUDING WIND DOWN EVERY MORNING. THEN I post about it.

If you used it at the same school last semester, then you're probably good to go. It can't hurt to pay the registrar and/or bursar a visit just in case.

Can you test out of it? I've attended three colleges in my life and they've all offered options to test out of lower level courses.

Last time I tried it I failed the fermi portion. I didn't even know what the gently caress a fermi problem was.

"How many forks get washed in the cafeteria every day?"

How is this even math???
Fermi problems are estimations and are more an exercise in logic than what most people think of as "math." By using rough figures and assumptions (usually educated guesses but may be pulled out of your rear end), you can get a ballpark estimate for some figure that you'd like to know. These may be pointless estimations, such as how many ping pong balls can fit in an aircraft carrier, or they might be a little more practical, such as how many ping pong balls would it take to float a bus. They're intended to be a quick and easy way to get a reasonably accurate estimate of something without resorting to computers and engineers and physicists and... you get the idea. Easy like done on a coffee shop napkin easy.

Once a semester, somebody should put on a seminar about whatever the latest trendy tech topic is and, right in the middle of it, lock the doors and bust out the fire hoses and bubble bath soap.

Of course, the one big problem with this is that it would need to be held in an auditorium with good drainage.

It can't hurt for him to spend some time at a community college, especially as a way to ease back into civ life. He certainly should apply to more places, though. Better to aim high, and all that.
