Re: Student Lounge

10 hour ish day tomorrow.  Need to be in early to do some stuff before badminton at 9am.  Then showing a n00bie some stuff on my chamber, then teaching first years in the afternoon for 3 and a half hours.  Yay!

To those who understand I extend my hand; To the doubtful I demand to take me as I am.

Re: Student Lounge

Lol...I hate essays and research papers ><  But usually, if you pay someone else to do it for you, and give them sex in return, you're set.  If you're bad at sex...then...well...um...good luck with life.  You're gonna need it ><

Re: Student Lounge

I'd take an english essay over a psychology research paper any day of the week. and on one of them, I have to present it to the entire class, which is going to suck.

Re: Student Lounge

I hate giving presentations. I always get sweaty, and speck really fast. Not to mention I usually forget half of my specking points, and as such, my presentation is much shorter than intended. At least I have no of those this semester smile

I can't give a presentation without having fumbling with something in my hands, so usually I'm standing with a pen or so when presenting our project. That usually helps me to calm down so I don't become all restless and start talking too fast. Besides, it helps running through the presentation a couple of times before the actual examination. Just to make sure you say everything you have to. And while you are getting examined, just keep in mind to breathe a couple of times and talk slowly and clearly. Use the time between changing slides to breathe a little, and get relaxed. The presentation isn't finished untill, you're finished.

Re: Student Lounge

Playing with something in your hands is a great way to distract your fiddling wink I also find it handy to have a pen in hand to point at some visual aids. I always like to make something when doing a presentation. Most because it contains all the points that I want to make and expand upon. What I usually do is make a power point presentation, point form and some pictures. and that way when I'm fiddling with my pen I get to point to stuff.

I also have this problem with pacing, even when I'm sitting, I still like kick my feet. I can't find a way to get over it.

Re: Student Lounge

ugh i had a huuuuge post and ended up pressing delete off screen and the page went back.. meaning i lost all i wrote..

anyhoo what i came up with was an ipod that u can download books from (saves paper etc) and you can download school books from.. so youd never forget a lecture book again (helps students) it also features a fully functional internet.. Also it contains the same software as ipod so it plays and stores music like an ordinary ipod.. Also its possible to download cartridges for a book that play music according to the scene of the book.. (can be user created or company)

anyhoo yeh.. i thought it sounded good idea at the time tongue

Re: Student Lounge

students in USA are demanding WIkitextbooks

but that's how profs get tenure

and it's like eternal revenue for them personally

so good luck, just open a website in Russia that dont give a damn for NATO copyright laws

Depression

Re: Student Lounge

@ Them

Depending on the publisher and the nature of the book, academics don't get that much income from being authors, especially if there is more than one author.

Re: Student Lounge

ADHD would be the easiest to write on, Depression is so hard to actually diagnosis (prove) because of it's complexity, and Autism is just aswell not truely understood.

However i would enjoy reading an essay on Depression if you choose that route smile
