The Attention Deficit Disorder Thread

I would think so. I mean, even if there is a way for them to monitor your pc usage during the exam I could still pull out my phone and get any info I might need. I think that the exams are timed to try to curtail that, but if I wanted to cheat, im sure I could.

This is what I would be thinking about if I was an employer looking at an applicant with a degree from an online school.

 

All the state universities offer online courses, as do most private universities. You can get a degree from Harvard without ever stepping foot on campus.

 

No, professors aren't stupid. My sister being a Doctor of Anthropology I can say that with absolute certainty.

 

Think of it this way, professors are aware and familiar with all of the published material in their fields of expertise, just as you are aware of all the songs written and recorded by your favorite recording artist. When someone covers a song you like, you can tell immediately. Getting away with plagiarism is no easy task when you're up against someone with far greater knowledge of a subject than you are.

 

OK I get exactly what you are saying now. It absolutely makes perfect sense. Im pretty good at summarizing though. Also, what about math courses? There is only a right and wrong answer. Plagiarism would apply there.

 

I don't think there are just plain "Math" courses at a college level.....are there?

 

of course there are

 

I don't know.

 

You should always bear in mind that just because someone is in college, that doesn't make them smart.

Most college kids are earnest though.

 

I don't think so....Math just factors into other things like designing and engineering and programming.....there are no specific Math courses.

 

There are math courses in college. They are prerequisites.

 

This is true.

 

dont shrug. you were wrong, I was right. You dont get to shrug that off pal

 

I have to take math. I have a general knowledge of the stuff. I need to start at the basics. and I'm nervous

 

Don't be nervous. You'll ace it once you get back into it.

 

Math is what cut my college experience short. Didnt care for it in high school. Funny enough, I didnt care for it college either. I never passed Algebra 1

 

math is the core of most careers. from finance to engineering to physics. so yes there may be some math offered

 

I've never had algebra

 

once they started throwing in letters with the numbers and parenthesis and shit, they lost me.
