NO STAL POLL... what to do for class?
#19215138 - 12/01/13 11:05 PM (10 years, 1 month ago) |

Okay, so I'm in this 8 week class to prove I can go back to my university next semester and we have 2 rounds of turning shit in:
1) Writing Journal + Essay 1, 50% of class
2) Second Half of Writing Journal + Essay 2, 50% of class
So, while most people turned in a nice sized essay and 5-12 pages of responses to the questions in our textbook, I took it upon myself to try to answer every. single. question. in. the. book.
I turned in over 85 pages last time total, including a 73-page writing journal. I got A+'s in everything and I noticed I already have 19 pages for next assignment, which puts me at the front of the pack for round #2. On top of that, I'm part of the group that got a special "extra credit" assignment where if we write about this one particularly interesting topic, we get bonus points. So, I think that bender and all, my grades pretty much in the bag.
But that said, should(n't!!!) I go even more all-out on this one? Or no? I have some vague-ish other shit I could do during the few days I wouldn't be totally focused on this, but it's not as though there's a serious opportunity-cost to this, and I could GO ALL OUT, but only HALF WAY... so....
Considerations: -the professor is an awesome old man who teaches for the sake of helping people learn and he really enjoys when students go above and beyond (he said when asked if he read my first 73-page journal) -I really wanna fucking make sure my grade is an A+ in there cause I've sodomized my GPA as of late -it's actually intellectually-challenging stuff... I'm definitely making up for lost intellectual time by working through these textbook problems -again, the professors's this awesome, caring, oxycontin-addicted (more on that in another thread) old man who has given us good advice and shown that he's in it to help us become better thinkers and I just really respect him and want to show him his students care
BTW, this class is one of those where you don't need to be super smart to get a good grade--it's more a function of your baseline ability to get an A in the first place mixed with (80%) your ability to put in the work.

Uhm... dolt and Nicechrisman... there is a STAL choice, you've just got to look for it and sift it up from the pun within which it is buried like corn within Europeans' droppings.

Shit sorry I forgot I literally titled this "no stal poll...", so I guess technically it's invalid.
That, though, is why I bought this whiskey.
Or, perhaps that, then, is because I bought this whiskey.

Wait until you get to the real world and the client expects a 300, 400 or 500 page report on a project. Our standing record is an 827-page underwriting report. These classes are good practice for those going on to professional careers, but if your life's ambition is to be a welder or electrician, I'm not sure these classes are relevant to your pending vocational experience.

Jesus mpd, that's brutal... I was just thinking earlier how it might be depressing if my doctoral thesis ended up being shorter than my assignments for this "look, ma, I can still do college!" class.
And on that note, since I want to be a professor, this class is super relevant (it's a writing-intensive course about academic writing->"Writing in the Academy"). Perhaps all the more reason to go all-out.
An 827-page anything, though... I can't even imagine how you'd write that, let alone revise it, manage it, curate its parts, etc. That is impressive though!

Better than that! Thanks to my extensive ancient philosophy training, I'm able to teach students to configure themselves such that they can blot out the sun either to themselves or to another observer (which takes an astute grasp on certain geometry and trig concepts!).
But I am seriously trying to decide what to do. I don't want to be up 24 hours cracked out. I just need to write 1 paper before 5:30 tomorrow which will be easy and then wrap up my writing journal.
Round 1 the journal was 73 pages, but I'm only up to 30 this time around. But if I turn in another solid 5-10 pages paper and then a good 35 pages of essays responding to book work, is there any reason I ought to be worried?
Or feel guilty?
IS THIRTY PAGES ENOUGH U GUYZ!!!??
