Just chalkboards full of material to write down yourself and buy textbooks
Writing down stuff is hell since my handwriting isn't great
"back in my day we didn't have paper, we had to chisel our notes on a stone slab"
The future is now old man
Used to take photos with my phone and then type it in later
On top of regular writing it in
Was even more hell when the person doing the writing is an ancient maths professor who can barely stand and whose hands are shakey, yet still inexplicably can write on a chalkboard at a speed that far outstrips even the fastests of note takers
Online learning is more efficient if done properly, don't mistake that for laziness.
People are less efficient online
It wasn't a criticism, Medic, no need to get snarky
Second degree was all online-notes. It made me very lazy and I suggest it does others likewise
And where I live I have to deal with profs brought in from the middle east/asia and quickly taught english plagued with my local accent, the resulting professor cannot be understood
Online is only better for people who are very disciplined and can not get lazy
I have online only courses and normal courses with online notes
I've consistently done well with both, but I usually go online during the summer courses
Never did summer courses here - they're just not normal. I used my summers for working for money for the subsequent year
>"And where I live I have to deal with profs brought in from the middle east/asia"
He doesn't live in the Midlands
He doesn't know my pain
I generally pick up extra shifts during summer and do online courses at my leisure
I had an Iranian maths professor who was impossible to understand. Didn't help that the material wasn't much better either
It's a danger in academic circles
Jeez, at least my unintelligible profs had good notes
You struggle with the 'natives', Weez?
The 'new Brits' are a little troublesome I will admit
The """asians"""
Oddly enough, there's been more and more seen in my local area
These kind of sightings would not have occurred 10 years ago
I mourn the loss of my local regional dialect/accent. TV/Films/INternet + the outflow of London to here has killed it within 2 generations
F
My region is still proud and strong
We built the chains and anchors for the Titanic!
Nice
You produced Black Sabbath
Take a bow
Ay
I'm no Brummy.
We differentiate ourselves from them. SMH.
I dunno, i'd take the glory for the wider region while you can
Nah nah nah
The East side lets us down
