So I have an operations management midterm at 6pm tonight. Bottlenecks, queues, all that good stuff. Except it is open book and open notes. I know I need to go over the basics so I don't get blind sided, but I can't get in the mood.
Open book/open note tests are the best. I owned those tests. I can't believe my fellow students still did poorly. Dems da breaks. It's good to be at the top.

or how about tests that you do over the internet? HOw can you not get at least 90%
school work and tests suck but its what you need to do to get to where you need to go.
sad but true. I see school as a way to get your ass into your first job then after that your 1 year experience on the job is worth more than your 4 year degree.

AMEN!
No kidding Craig. I actually "enjoy" learning. No matter what it is. Gotta admit this operations/process stuff is a little dry for me but I have to know it to be competent when it comes to running a company/plant/business.
I just hate getting in the car, driving to campus, PARKING THE FUCKING CAR, walking to class, and propping my eyelids open with toothpicks for two hours while powerpoint slides are shuffled through the computer screen. [img]/images/graemlins/moresleep2.gif[/img]
Best advice yet! Except the snake is at my new house and there are boxes in the garage of my current house. Try buying a house, renting a house, working 60 hours AND taking graduate courses sometime. . .if you're crazy.

you mean your instructors don't put the powerpoint slides on the internet? How's that for having no motivation to go to class! I can read them myself thanks.

Actually, the one guy does. But this broad, who looks younger than me only posts the slides with half the information filled in, so you have to "come to class and participate in order to get the whole picture". Stupid PhD knowitall [img]/images/graemlins/angry.gif[/img]

WAR MIDTERMS THAT ARE 45% OF TOTAL GRADE!
Open book just means it's going to be so fuckin' hard the book won't do you any good. That's my experience. Know it cold or you're toast.
I had a DE prof that would give us the exam off the top of his head. He'd begin scribbling problems on the front chalkboard and we'd start working immediately. Once he'd finished filling up the front board, he'd begin on the one to the right. After that he'd move on to the board in the back of the class and so on around the room, replacing the original problems as he got to them. This went on for three hours and he would typically still be scribbling when the bell rang. Nobody finished the tests ... ever. It was impossible. Halfway through was considered good. Psycho. You could use any material you had ... didn't make any difference though. Best math prof I ever had.

I would have toilet papered his house for pulling that stunt. Right after I failed his class. [img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img]
I dunno about you but we had quit TP-ing houses in college.
me too. I was thinking that was during your college years.
as a grown up ( [img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img] )...I just send guido and a few of the boys to have a special talk with the person in question.

My first year calc tacher was like that plus she couldn't speak engrish. I suck at math and needless to say I dropped the class before they could fail me. This was at another school anyway.
all my computer science tests were open book... it didnt help b/c by the time you found what you needed, you wasted 10 minutes. when a programming test is 10 questions, and on paper, you dont have time to be fumbling through a book

A couple tabs of Ephedrine always helped me get over the Hump !!
The professors and curriculum at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School are top notch. It took me 7 years and 8 months of straight schooling to graduate all while running my business. I would HIGHLY recommend the school to anyone looking for a business background. I even took my 467 CID 68 GTO and parked it there while commuting, and would have taken the GTS there too, but I didn’t have it at the time. As for online courses-what a TOTAL joke, I always ask where people graduated from before we hire them and we verify it with their school. Drive your cars, you only live once!
HOw can you not get at least 90% 
!!
