Don't do as I do
« 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!

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

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.

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.

But what if we invent time travel before we destroy ourselves?

When would we destroy ourselves, then?

But unless time is a continuum then we never DO invent time travel.

What's the subject of this research paper?
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.
