Isn't one star better than no stars? :cool:


I'm not sure why anyone needed to rate that thread. Idle hands, devil's workshop, yada, yada, yada.

So Jim got post #59000. We should coordinate to make #60000 a good one.

That seems so far away...

It might but I think it will come much sooner than you think.

I still miss Markus :(

Markus come back!

Not if you get busy and really work on your end of the challenge, errr, self-improvement program.

Isn't he touring with ABBA? ;)

Well, I am not allowed to talk about it anymore. And I am not requesting advice anymore. That is what was doing it. I post an excuse, someone gives more advice, I post another excuse...

(I do appreciate the advice I was given upon request).

Yeah, come back Markus. Just because you are a big rock star does not mean you need to leave the thread!

So I have to write a 3 page (no more than) (double spaced) report about a 60's band and a few of their songs. Meanings behind the words but also the sound. So I get to learn some musical terms which should be interesting. Needs at least 3 sources, only 1 can be Wikipedia. That's not a problem.

He taught a Beatles class last quarter so he said no Beatles. And he said no Dylan.

I am thinking Jefferson Airplane or Steppenwolf.

Since when did Wikipedia become a reputable/citation-worthy source?

Basically it depends on the professor. I wrote those English papers with Wiki as my main source, though I did put down the book too.

Even if they do not allow citing Wiki you can just scroll to the bottom and look at the sources cited by Wiki and use those.

lol, you guys write about 60'ies rock bands, as a class, in college??

Yup. :)

It's the greatest GE class I've ever had! :D

The Prof. is actually writing a book on the subject. Same title as the class: "Music of the 60's: War and Peace".

As a resident or med student, there are patient rounds. Residents and students present patients (explain what has happened to them over the past 24 hours) to the team. In attendence during these rounds will be your attendings (professor doctors). They'll pimp you (ask you questions) along the way, to test your knowledge. Sometimes they'll ask you where you read whatever fact you raise. There are certain references you can cite (particular, well-regarded textbooks or journals). There are many references you cannot cite (i.e. quickie review books). Because if you were to do so, you'd get laughed off the rotation by your attendings. Back in the day of pyramidal (elimination) type residency structures, that would be a sure way to lose your job. You would not, under any circumstance, be able to say "because I read it in Wikipedia/off the internet/in Secrets (one of those quickie review books)/in People Magazine (or even Popular Mechanics)" without losing all face.

Dovo, the bomb disposal guys , they had a record year, 3400 interventions, 500 more then 2010.. WW1 is still going strong around here.

crap, enbedding doesn't work..

No offense--as you don't write the rules--but that's a total joke.

no such classes in our universities... no such thing as "electives".
