Remster 30 #27 November 27, 2006 QuoteQuoteQuote As it is, I have students that do not know the number of seconds in a minute. There's 42, right? I guess I didn't tell you guys that story.... Working over homework one class - the students couldn't agree on how many seconds were in a minute. So I let them vote. It was a unanimous decision - 36 seconds in a minute. The scary part? The students in that class are all teachers aide's that are working on their teachers certificates so they can be let loose in the classroom. Holly crap! College level? Must be a business school...

davedlg 0 #28 November 27, 2006 How many students are in the average day to day class vs. number of students that show up for the test? You can't really do a lot for the ones who don't bother to go to class... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I put that on the study guide. We talked for two days about what modern nuclear power plants use for fuel.... So on the test I ask - "What do modern nuclear power plants use for fuel?" So far I have gotten: oil water electricity unariuem carbon 123 hydrogen.... i don't know what else to do.... At least nobody said, "It's an AN-2".

So far I have gotten: oil water electricity unariuem carbon 123 hydrogen.... i don't know what else to do.... I feel your pain. At least you got answers that were somewhat related to the question. Hopefully you don't get comparable answers to sift through like I've had recently. One student in a third year university class in food microbiology gave this answer on a midterm (the actual question I don't need to supply, as you will see): Answer: "the total number of organisms could be many different species in one sample so it is important to kill for many different types with many different temperatures (+sometimes pressure). For sterilization, it is best to use a high resistence (sic) endospore (like Bacillus stearothermophilus) to make sure everything is dead" (the actual answer to the above was "0.02") But you have to understand, mental illness is like cholesterol. There is the good kind and the bad. Without the good kind- less flavor to life. - Serge A. Storms Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michele 1 #37 November 28, 2006 I have one professor who will take off a point if something is misspelled. I haven't misspelled a word in there yet. And I think that's fair; he is working, I have to do the work as well. And so I do. *(In a few hours I'll find out if I managed to score halfway decently on the exam I took last week while suffering from walking pneumonia...). However, and this needs to be said...I have another professor, in Political Science, that wrote "registeration" for registration. And questioned my use of the word firstly, and mien. If he were not a native english speaker, I would not be as perturbed as I am about that...but he's not. He's from Britain originally, and is quite competent in his teaching. However, his spelling sucks. And also to give him credit, he did not mark off at all for those two words, so I can only hope he looked them up after questioning me; and that he learned something. I do have sympathy for the teachers who have to grade papers, though...I do my best, and like to think I'm a responsive student. My grades generally show that, as well. (Again, dunno about the last Anatomy test...that could really hurt me in the final outcome. But there is no retaking a lab exam. Either you do it or you don't...walking pneumonia or not.)
