Re: Semester 1 Chatter Thread
haha
i sense sarcasm. and im hot. on the inside.
so is nebuzkdsahdaszar or however you say his nickname (if he's in the class).
actually, a few of the other guys looked alright (in the if i was a girl, i would think they're attractive way).
the question was something quite annoying, like why do you think people who attend lectures get better marks. It was so common sense, I thought it was rhetorical at first.

Oh yeah that's right and then she spent like 5 minutes trying to figure out your name "it's Stus, S.T.U.S." LOLstazi said:haha

Re: Semester 1 Chatter Thread
If I were a person who can design a fun UoS, I'd make a class that teaches people how to develop and "let out" their creativity by designing a book full of jokes made by themselves. If I think that their joke(s) were just copied and pasted somewhere, then their marks would be low. They can say "oh, I didn't copy, I just happened to come up with the same joke." It's ok, but they need to think "outside the convention" and make up some original jokes that can surprise people. It's unlikely that, if they try hard, all their jokes would still be typical. And the big assignment would involve producing a small book with about 50 little jokes they made. The final exam would be true or false (with explanation) and short answer. The true/false section is where they have to read a sentence and determine whether it's a joke or not. Then they have to say why they think so. If they disagree with my thoughts, it's alright as long as they make their point clear, give good reasons and are convincing. This develops their imagination (they have to imagine things that are likely to occur when they tell these jokes, for their explanation). The short answer section has 3 scenarios where they are stuck in a very awkward situation after saying some offensive jokes that they didn't realise earlier. The question would require them to write the best remedy for it; ie. what they would do to make up for it, and to turn the situation around, be it tell another joke that 'saves' this awkwardness. This is extremely helpful in real life as you often need to develop a little sense of humour to mingle well with people in society.

Re: Semester 1 Chatter Thread
I have a bad feeling with this subject.....sounds like a lot of difficult reading etc.
yeah I agree, he was so annoying and boring. Everything he said was so fragmented. I was at the front and kept pinching myself to stay awake.Silver Persian said:

Re: Semester 1 Chatter Thread
Agree, and if the stupid '1 word' overheads are to continue I'm going to hate this! For such a heavy UOS you gotta have something up there for kids to copy down, you can't take in all he's saying at once.The_Apprentice said:

i picked it because i thought it'd be relevant to marketing - it looks at audiences (i.e. target markets). Looks like I was wrong. I'm doing B Commerce (Liberal Studies) majoring in marketing and international business. This particular subject also made my timetable quite sexy. Sexy like a fox.amber44 said:
