Title: Don't do as I do
Post by: RABicle on April 03, 2008, 02:39:44 PM
Don't start an assignment worth 30% of the course mark at 2am in the morning, four days after it was due.

You may consider trying to invent a time machine in the time you've got left instead of actually working on the assignment.
The gamble is that time travel may be impossible with our current technological levels.
But the upside is that, if you make a time machine, you can use it for all future assignments too!

Still 50 words. Trying to find some references ands hit to make it look like I put effort into this.
I am dramtising a bit, I got an extension until Wednesday mroning, shame it's Friday now but yeah.

You need to think outside the box. He could theoretically take fifty years to complete the machine. He would still be able to travel back in time to before the assignment is due.

I say time travel could only be possible if time is a continuum, where every instance of time is another existing time. Otherwise, we all would have known by now because they would have traveled back in time. And don't give me some crap about the don't want to intervene in our existence because humans do nothing but think they should be in other people's business.

but that creats an alternate timeline in which one RAB was booted out of school for not completing the assignment on time and another RAB that finished the assignment on time but never invented the time machine

Time is an artificial construct we use to measure our own decay.

If he made a time machine why would he care about this assignment.

It's fucking slow going. If it was just a normal essay it'd be piss easy, I'd just ramble on like a long forum post. But it's not, it's like a report summarising the research we did, so I'm actually having to fucking research. My references list is pretty much as long as my report. This is bullshit.

What's the subject of this research paper?

Here, it's 10 PM, and it's a day earlier. You've still got time.
Title: Re: Don't do as I do
Post by: IceCold on April 03, 2008, 11:41:33 PM
Hmm. Well, for me the introduction is usually the hardest part - I try to make it as perfect as possible, and while I'm writing it all the supporting evidence for the body goes through my mind and I jot it down. But you have a research essay, so that's tougher obviously.
Good luck.

Maybe humanity destroys itself before it has a chance to invent time travel.

True that is the other option. We never learn.
Title: Re: Don't do as I do
Post by: that Baby guy on April 04, 2008, 02:41:36 AM
But what if we invent time travel before we destroy ourselves?
When would we destroy ourselves, then?
Title: Re: Don't do as I do
Post by: DAaaMan64 on April 04, 2008, 02:45:12 AM
But unless time is a continuum then we never DO invent time travel.

It reads. You are to research the arts in education focusing on learning in, through, with and about the Arts. Your research is to be synthesized into a report of approximately 750-1000 words. The report is to use standard academic conventions, style and referencing. THis part is allocated 10 marks.[/b] And then it goes on You will then use your understanding of the Arts and learning through the Arts to make an "arts and education knowledge product"
That last part, which as you can see is horribly vague, is worth 20 marks.
Also, I fell asleep.

Talk about how music students perform better on standardized tests and how there's a bunch of learning in songs and stuff. This paper is practically written for you already.

Yeah that's basically it, it's getting a reference for everything that is killing me. I should walk into the Library and start pulling random books off the shelf.
Title: Re: Don't do as I do

You can reference me. Go ahead.

That premise seems too broad and overly vague. Give the professor who handed out the assignment a failing grade.
Title: Re: Don't do as I do
Post by: animecyberrat on April 04, 2008, 02:40:39 PM
Honestly, and I know nobody will believe me but I never had that problem. I always did all my assignments there in class and took full advantage of study hall (nap time) so when I got home I never had to worry about anything. But I also had a full time job right after school so there wasn't time for homework anyways. That is why I did the (stupid) online classes I took cuz it was simple and easy and I could work around my schedule. Either way man I hope you get at least a passing grade on this.

Don't do what i'm doing. Cram 5 pieces of coursework into one week so you can have the next 3 weeks to do nothing except play Mario Kart, Wii Fit and then leave for new york.

I've been once before in October. So... i have a chocolate biscuit here. The REAL one. What'd i get if i ask for a chocolate biscuit?
Title: Re: Don't do as I do
Post by: ShyGuy on April 05, 2008, 11:42:14 AM
Chocolate Biscuit? Such a thing does not exist! I'm retreading old ground here, but ask for Biscuits and Gravy. mmmmm
Also: Bonnet = Hood Petrol = Gas Salad Onion = Green Onion Tube = Subway Aluminum is pronounced differently Few people say "Bob's your Uncle"
Visit some of rural New York if possible, just to get a different flavor of America.
On the subject, has Rabicle flunked out yet?

I knew most of those fortunately. We did our research. I don't like the subway though, it's like an icebox onboard and a sauna in the stations.
RAB? Have you passed miserably yet?

Oh yeah, yeah it gets handed in tomorrow morning. I'm not looking forward to my marks. Ohw ell there's still 70% left of this unit to scramble a pass with rite?

Go go Dasmos! I had a 2100 word assignment due today too! Hopefully I can get it in tomorrow before I drive 300kms away.

HAY HAY GUYS! It's probably not a good idea to reference myself in this essay is it?

It’s alternative name of sociological is derived from the way literacy education would be derived from the social and cultural context of the students. For example, instead of students being given a set list of spelling words, like the 100 demons, students would create their own spelling lists from the mistakes they had made in their own schoolwork across all subjects. Students would be encouraged to construct arguments for debates and essays, instead of rewording and summerising existing text like this particular EDU282 assignment. (Belford, 2008)

Although doing so would be a perfect example of the sociological approach to literacy in an assignment designed under the naturalistic approach.

Hey guys, it's me from 20012. Yeah, that's right. 20012. I'm here to steal your optical media discs. You heard me. Turns out, that's the best fuel in 20012. Anyone got any extra cheap ones?
Oh, and RAB, it's not worth it. Your house gets hit by a Typhoon 3 days after you graduate, and you die. Live it up while you can. The doc and I tried to stop it from happening, but it seems like there's no way you can live, even going as far as moving you to the states for a day, freak weather accidents kill you.

I have no idea what you're trying to say here. It's written so poorly I have to believe this is a joke.
