Schoolbooks & Courses Threadi

[Asher]

In my senior year in college I took courses such as Philosophy of Contemporary Moral Problems, Rock Music in the 80s, U2: Even Better Than the Real Thing, and Scopes for Dopes/Astronomy 101.

The easiest course out of them all was filosofy.

Then he's not Canadian, he's Quebecois.

That's also why he can't pronounce "subtle" right or speak English properly in general.

Philosophy is difficult you moron because its subjective. I once conducted an experiment after I was given a B+ on a philosophy paper I spent 7 hours on. I then gave it to a kid to hand in in another section of the same course with a different professor. It was scored an A+ (yes even though those didn't exist on the scale) with a note 'Super' and a small handrawn smilie face. I also gave it to six kids in other courses dealing with similar, but not even the same topics. With minor alterations the grade breakdown was 3 A's, 2 A-'s, no B+'s, and one C.

SUCK MY NUTS PROFESSOR I WILL STILL SUCK YOUR **** FOR AN A ON THAT PAPER :MAD:

That's why it's easy. You need to ask around on the viewpoints of the prof then have your paper reflect their viewpoints. Philosophy profs need to feel validated. If you contradict them (eg, telling Agathon he's wrong) they reacts negatively.

I flatly disagreed with philosophy professors and it wasn't represented in my grades.

You're not likely to notice much of a difference when you aim for Cs and Ds.

I graduated magna *** laude, sir! I was on the dean's list every semester!

[Asher]

Well you never mentioned you were sleeping with the dean...that changes things.

BTW, are you Albert Speer? Your picture looks like him.

I've never seen American schoolbooks. I'm interested in what Math and English books look like and what do they teach.

One of my economics text books, "Undergraduate Econometrics"

I'm more interested in the middle/high school level.
