No judgement?

You mean the judgment to wanna look up a case file?

2019-09-05 17:16:48 UTC  

and you have no judgement because you never had to work in a vaccum

2019-09-05 17:17:06 UTC  

you always had an answer at your finger tips

2019-09-05 17:17:29 UTC  

There is no challenge. There is my side and your side and those sides were formed by opinion. Backed by facts that alone are true but added to a bigger picture don’t clear up anything

2019-09-05 17:17:31 UTC  

No, I didn't. There was a time when the internet wasn't available to me, and I went around like a fucking idiot blindly believing what people told me because I had no way to check for myself.

2019-09-05 17:17:47 UTC  

Now I do, and I'm significantly less retarded as a result.

2019-09-05 17:17:49 UTC  

no, judgment is what allows you to listen to a narrative and pick up on the fact the person isn't being truthful

2019-09-05 17:18:05 UTC  

without having concrete evidence either way

2019-09-05 17:18:27 UTC  

think of it this way: what type of test is harder?

2019-09-05 17:18:35 UTC  

...and what if the TV presenter doesn't know they're being fed a bunch of bullshit?

The TV presenter could be presenting a made up story, while having a completely honest expression on their face and absolutely zero indication that they're lying, because they also think the story is true.

2019-09-05 17:18:44 UTC  

1) an open book test; 2) a closed book test

2019-09-05 17:18:56 UTC  

lol

2019-09-05 17:19:05 UTC  

which is harder?

2019-09-05 17:19:17 UTC  

If you've had the same professors that I've had, then you'd know an open book test is often a bad idea.

They take that as a license to make things super fucking difficult.

2019-09-05 17:19:27 UTC  

you aren't answering

2019-09-05 17:19:38 UTC  

ah, so you understand then

2019-09-05 17:19:58 UTC  

an open book test means they can OVERLOAD you with everythin and anything

2019-09-05 17:20:09 UTC  

and you only have so much time to complete the test

2019-09-05 17:20:14 UTC  

When you have access to information your capabilities are legitimately expanded.

2019-09-05 17:20:21 UTC  

That's what makes the internet so awesome.

2019-09-05 17:20:25 UTC  

follow the metaphor

2019-09-05 17:20:33 UTC  

because you are contradicting yourself

2019-09-05 17:21:00 UTC  

the open book test is harder because you dont know what to focus your studing on

2019-09-05 17:21:07 UTC  

My professors asked me to do more, because they knew we could if the book was in front of us.

For those of us who already knew the material well enough for a closed book test, it threw a wrench into everything.

2019-09-05 17:21:21 UTC  

with a close book, the professor is limited to the degree they can misdirect you

2019-09-05 17:21:28 UTC  

lol wtf

2019-09-05 17:21:35 UTC  

This was in fucking math class.

2019-09-05 17:21:48 UTC  

That makes it easier then

2019-09-05 17:22:04 UTC  

yes, the close book test is ALWAYS easier

2019-09-05 17:22:05 UTC  

The formulas are right there. If you get hows they work you're done

2019-09-05 17:22:11 UTC  

DONE I SAY

2019-09-05 17:22:17 UTC  

Open book tests in math are absolute bullshit, because while you might have access to the formulas the professors tend to make everything more complicated.

2019-09-05 17:22:23 UTC  

because the scope is known

2019-09-05 17:22:37 UTC  

lol, you really have no idea

2019-09-05 17:22:38 UTC  

but the open book test will easily overwhelm u

2019-09-05 17:23:00 UTC  

in college, differnetial equations, had a professor that said all tests were open book

2019-09-05 17:23:14 UTC  

The book isn't the overwhelming part. It really isn't.

It's the questions you're being asked to answer.

2019-09-05 17:23:16 UTC  

we could even bring in tests frrom the previous year if we wanted

2019-09-05 17:23:28 UTC  

The book is plus, either way you look at it.

It's the questions that you get fucked on.
