Re: Off Topic 2015

All I remember was that my sports was either 88% or 89%, the science, geography and history categories were all above 80%, entertainment was around 78-79% and art was the lowest at 73%.

I dragged the art score up from about 61% at one point. My record was like 50-12. Game was stupid and I had deleted it until my friend downloaded it the day after and wanted to play.

I'd report that one for being incorrect because I don't see "Go" as the correct answer.

So I'm pretty sure my friend is close to killing herself and there's not really anything I can do about it.

Call your local police department and talk with a dispatcher to voice your concerns over your friend. Welfare check is a thing.

You will regret doing nothing for your friend if something terrible did happen. I regret not helping a close friend 10 years ago and he ultimately passed away, it pops up on a nearly daily basis still

Attention North Carolina folks! I'll be in the Raleigh area this time next week, and I gotta get me some of that NC BBQ. That is a thing, right? I've got some spare time during the evenings to check out the city and I'll have transportation, though I prefer to stay in the immediate Raleigh area.

What do I have to see/eat?!

I just saw this. Honestly, I would recommend Hillsborough St., it is near NC State, and there are plenty of decent restaurants. Take the trip on 40 for about 20-30 minutes and visit Chapel Hill and Durham. Durham downtown is awesome, and Franklin St. is legit.

Maybe go see a Hurricanes game?

Re: Off Topic 2015

Got a test today in an online class that requires me to take the test on campus. Until today I never had looked at any of the material we were supposed to be learning. I am just now cramming in all of the homework before it's due tonight at midnight. I'm curious to see how it all goes. The homework has been pretty easy so far. It's a calculus for business class.

I've taken procrastination to the extreme.

lol,positives and negatives of online class. You can go at your own pace and do all the course work throughout the year fairly easy. The negative....the final exam requires so much studying and has so much on it and basically determines whether you pass or fail the class.

That's the thing about online classes I hated. You MUST pass the final exam to pass the course,so even if the exam is only worth 20% of your grade,and you go into the exam with a 90%,if you get a 49 on the exam,you fail the course,even though you should technically finish with an 82 or something if it wasn't for that rule.

I get why they do it, but still hate it. What's worse is that rule is now transitioning into regular classes too. Final exam might only be worth 10-20% of your grade,but you MUST pass it to pass the course. So your actual grade SHOULD be an 85% or something,but due to that stupid rule,you end up failing if you tank on the final exam. Just a stupid way for schools to make more money(almost as bad as what some people do,and intentionally ask a question about something non course related from the textbook and count that as grades,just to punish whoever didn't buy the book or is using a previous year copy)

Re: Off Topic 2015

This isn't a work at your own pace class. We have 4 scheduled exams. Homework is all due at set times throughout the semester. I've just put everything off until today, test day. My other class is a do it at your own pace, but this one is not.

I don't like online classes. Too easy for me to go full procrastination.

That still counts as abit of a "do it at your own pace" doesn't it? Cause that's what I meant. Even if you got deadlines each week for the class,it still allows you to do it at your own pace, as long as you finish it by a specific time at the end of the week.

Unlike class work where you might get get something and be forced to finish it within the 3 hour window of class or something. Online class,you could even start assignments WEEKS before they're supposed to be started/handed in. I've actually done that in the past too. Spent a week just doing a months worth of stuff for a class(it was all the easier work of semester),so then I had 3 weeks more time to focus on the bigger stuff.

Re: Off Topic 2015

I have another class that is have everything turned in by the final. That is a do it at your own pace class to me. Weekly deadlines isn't.
