yup final was at 11. woke up, looked at my clock and it was 1215. ran outta the room and sprinted to class, god am i out of shape. so i got there, talked to the professor and hes being cool and letting me take it on thursday...

after all my time of hating the class, the professors pretty cool about this.

What kind of a class is that? What do u do in it and what do learn about?

**Hoppy** · 12-20-2005, 06:50 PM

well its supposed to be about the reasoning behind religion and in religious material. my school offers , reasoning and religion, reasoning and value,reasoning and politics, reasoning and human nature, and reasoning and science. all students required to take one of them.

we did cover syllogisms. valid and invalid. valid yet false. fallacys. evaluations of an arguement.

but the reason i say the class is gay, is we never even got to the religion side of things.never reviewed a single piece of material. he teaches the course like its a high level course, when its a GER ( general education requirement) 101. we supposedly learned how to evaluate arguements. but hes not great at teaching a 101. he uses words and examples from high level philosophy subjects. assume we know more than we do. and the differance between a right and wrong answer on a test, is simply one word.

heres one of the EARLY questions ( like 2nd week)

Unless the quantum mechanical charm signs, the readout will not be clear.
A. The quantum mechanical charm signs if the readout will be clear.
B. If the quantum mechanical charm signs, the readout will be clear.
C If the readout will be clear, the quantum mechanical charm signs.
D. If the quantum mechanical charm signs, the readout will be clear.
E. None of the above.

they all mean the same thing but the wording is what hes looking for. and thats just a multiple choice. on open ended questions he tells me, two examples, almost identical in relevance to the topic are. "too general" and "too specific"

im sure he would be a great professor to a higher level course. but hes just no good at 101 level stuff.

oh and the answers C.

Screw finals. I'm studying geology right now. Screw rocks, too. They bore me.

I slept thru a final last year at UW-Madison... couldn't retake it..... got me an F in dynamics..... contributed to my transfer to the smelly little school of less than 6000 students I'm at now

I once slept in and showed up to a calculus I exam with only ten minutes left to go. In spite of the drowsiness, I pulled off a D.

In another instance I went to bed without knowing at what time my final was the next day. I woke up, checked online, and found out that the exma had been going on for almost an hour. I did alright on that one.

I graduated college two years ago this morning.
