What Are You Doing Right Now? (172 Viewers)

It's unfortunate, but teachers usually aren't the greatest minds alive. They tend to be the ones who kind of sucked in uni. Sometimes there's someone who really wanted to become a teacher, but there are few.

Some of mine should never have been teachers. They are just terrible at their job and have zero motivation. There's no rating system for teachers here, I think there should be one.

Do you have an equivalent to the saying 'Those who can't do, teach', then?

We have semesters, with 4 courses in each semester. If I include last semester's exams with this semester, I would also have 7. Plus, these 3 are the hardest subjects I have:
Math
Chemistry
World History (not hard but my teacher did shit all the whole semester. Basically, I have to learn about 5 units in 4 days.)

I'm afraid not. It's slightly above average I suppose? If so, that's where I am.

I guess that's me too, although I don't think they're using a bell curve here, so I don't know what the distribution is. Or at least the statistical distribution is incomprehensible to me, that's all I can determine.

Piece of cake.

I taught myself Roman Law in a day (the day before the exam) and comfortably passed the exam.

it was in july

That's really odd. I think I've only been there once in July, but still.. I have seen very few bicycles over there. That is in the historical centre. Perhaps you mean other areas as well?

It's so so true. No equivalent though .

Your studying results shouldn't be a point of reference though, since I suspect they are a bit above the average.

I can only really learn things when I'm under pressure to know them very soon.

Crammer extraordinaire.

But most other folk will pay attention in/go to classes.

I knew nothing about Roman law until the day I studied it for.

Are we all flexing our procrastinating skills and our grade point averages? Where do I sign up?

So you know what the Leges Licinae Sextiae are then? And the Lex Aquilia. And the actio causa data causa non secuta.

Seven is doing a survey. Who knew you'd be the first to volunteer.

You just made all that stuff up

No, I actually know what they are. I've been studying Roman Law all day

It's pretty silly to do it now though. It's supposed to be some sort of basis for what you'll study later on. But I've been doing some sort of different program, because I already did history before. So I got all my much more difficult exams first and now I'm stuck studying Roman Law. And I'm making it more complicated than it is, because I already know how we deal with stuff now.

More or less.

Roman law is one that I know I won't actually need to use, so I was learning to pass the exam, rather to actually remember the stuff on a longer term basis.
