Agreed.
Take it from a guy who’s only coded smokey pool halls with Open_GL, I’d find another career goal.
I do have my own fucking loans…I happen to be paying half of the 50K…I work 50-60 hour weeks and trying to handle a full time school. My problem is I am 21 and still want to have a social life that has fucked that up. I know that but don’t fucking tell me that I should be sharing the load because I am and will be taking the full load now.
Deb2world ~ I gratelly appreciate your advise but unfortunately didn’t get it untill after I turned in my assignment. I tried but didn’t understand how to graph it right. And yes a tutor would have been a great idea from the start.
FYOI
You only need good math skills in animation if you’re right code and creating animation software. As far as modeling and animating the software does that for you. I create models/textures/animations which is all ART based.
This still doesn’t change the fact that I am a slacker and a degenerate. I just wanted to clearify a few things.
:snort:
Yeah. As if any Eng101 class even bothers with grammar any more. Near as I can tell, the only way to actually learn English grammar, usage, and punctuation in a university is to take ESL.
And as a side note, when I was 21, I was 3 years a college dropout because I was a slacker. 'Course, I was also married and putting my wife through grad school by busting my ass managing a mediocre restaurant. I only vaguely remember that long ago, but I know for a stone fact that I at least acted like I was 21.
A (Yes, you were trying to get someone else to do your homework)
+ B (You are merely whining)
= C (Tough {the response you deserve})
I’m not sure why I shouldn’t be telling you my opinion, you did notice you posted this on a public message board? Strangely enough, you are doing just as a said you should; but for some reason I shouldn’t have mentioned it. Grow up.
School or no school, you aren’t going to be worth dick in your future career if you don’t wise up.
andros: I think that all depends on the numbering system the school uses. Perhaps at some school English 101 is a Grammar course. I’m not saying it’s a popular course number for that subject, but just that it’s a possibility.
Even looking at your book would have been a good idea. I never took pre-calc, jumped straight to calc after a three year math layoff and got by in calc by teaching myself from the book since our professor was a deaf russian with an unintelligible accent and no interest in teaching basic calc.
For example, the first few problems you listed, what’s to understand on the graph? Just plug in each coordinate then draw a line. Hell, I answered those questions just looking at the y coordinates.
The chapter on functions would have explained to you that stuff.
::pulls out violin::
Would you like a long bow or a short bow?
Gimme a fuckin’ break! This wasn’t even a judgment call. You were quite obviously asking for specific answers to your schoolwork assignment. Any such thread would have been closed. And, if anyone had given you the answers, said answers would have been deleted.
It’s official then.
I’m doomed.
So it’s unanimous, then? Fuck him for asking AND he’s still a degenerate?
It’s a weird thing you know, but over the years, when it comes to ethical behaviour, I’ve kind of met two groups of folks.
(1) Those who play by the rules, and accept that it’s tough sometimes, but what doesn’t kill you makes you tougher nonetheless.
(2) Those who say n’yah n’yah all the time. These are the ones who always look for a cheat key, or a shortcut, or a loop hole. These are the folks who think that cheating is just fine - and if you hadn’t left the loophole there to exploit - then they wouldn’t have been able to cheat in the first place.
The 2nd category of person really creeps me out. They have no conscience - no sense of remorse when they’ve been caught out.
(3) Schmucks who try to get a messageboard to do their bidding.
Granted. But Kdapt knows it’s not required at any uni I’ve ever seen. Some lib arts colleges, yes, but few.
Amusing anecdote–I’m taking an intro stats course to fill in some prereqs for my MIS degree. The instructor knows statistics like the back of her hand, but is a Chinese national and her English is occasionally lacking. Last week she used an awkward phrase, realized it was awkward, and asked the class for the right usage. Now, admittedly, this is a community college, and the students are largely young . . . but they still pretty much all agreed that the correct phrase was “None of you are going.” I didn’t bother saying anything–figured it would seem a little too pedantic.
From a mod point of view, what would have been the reaction to a member giving entirely bogus answers to the questions, complete with a made up explaination of how they had arrived at the answers?
Oh, that takes me back. On the old AOL “pushpin” board, some kid posted asking for info on Rosa Parks because s/he had to do a report. DEVILFISH (how I do miss him) promptly responded with a biography which placed Ms. Parks at the center of every major historical event of the 20th century, and Rosa Parks was canonized as the board’s patron saint.
But that board was much more lightly moderated (IIRC). Here and now, I dunno. Might be construed as “feeding the troll”.
So do I. So what? Choices have consequences. Keeping your “social life” to a minimum for just a couple of years while you concentrate on the difficult parts of your schooling will not kill you. Hey, I washed out of an expensive and highly rated school in my youth due to dedicating myself too heavily to chemicals and the ladies. Once the debris cleared I dusted myself up, picked up the pieces, said to myself “yep, that was some fucked-up decisionmaking”, and got on with life eventually getting the degree. I did not stand out there in the street flagellating myself in front of everyone else and calling their attention to my problems and pointing out where I fucked up, since how could that have helped?
Spawn what exactly did you think was going to happen in the long run when you were out all hose nights partying? Did you think that youd get your credits through some sort of miracle?
Trust me I know how you feel, Ive failed a subject at college before. Programming… wont understand that until the day I die!
Its not the end of the world, youve reliased you have problems, try getting all the remaining credits you can, if at all possible go to the Professor and see if there is anyway you can make up on some of the missed credits.
And stay off the message boards and go do some work.
Best typo I’ve seen in a while!
<< From a mod point of view, what would have been the reaction to a member giving entirely bogus answers to the questions, complete with a made up explaination of how they had arrived at the answers? >>
Different mods would probably react in different ways, ranging from ROFL to “I don’t get it.” While the person asking may deserve it, it’s probably a poor precedent. I think we’d say that it was not a good idea to leave wrong answers unchallenged – someday, weeks hence, some poor innocent may stumble into the thread, say, “Oh, I’ve wondered how you do that,” read the false explanation and be deceived.
That’s strange - if you are not doing 3d programming you have no need to take the pre-cal course.
Look, I sucketh at maths here and here I am trying to pick up 3d programming (and having a good time putting it off), so shop around for an art course which don’t force you to take Maths…or…
Just study it. I lived through pre-cal. You can too! (And you don’t pass tests while partying and sleeping out).
Okay, I am starting to sound like chapters from a self help booklet, so I’ll stop/
