We had the periodic table in huge letters on the wall of our chemistry classroom. Wouldbe difficult to not allow students to use it during tests.
One of my nursing school teachers used to say “You don’t have to know everything, you just have to know where to look it up.” I always thought that’s very good and practical advice.
So during the test the teacher listed element names out loud with no pauses, and you were supposed to write down the symbol while she was speaking, and then another list in reverse. After the last element we had to immediately put the pens down. Whole test took ~45 seconds for 30 elements.
This was so that it was impossible to read from the big table on the wall, you had no time to look away from the paper. You’d miss the next 3 elements by the time you looked away to find the one.
Not really. As a former math teacher, I used to have kids do speed drill quizzes very similar to that elements chart drill a couple times a week. As in how many basic facts, (addition, subtraction. multiplication and division), with the correct answer can you do in one minute. There are just some basic skills you really need to learn and master before you can move on and learn how to blow things up.
The point of the quiz was not to expect you to get them all correct all the time or even get to the end of the quiz, (I was aiming for 30 correct answers in that one minute out of maybe 60 or 70 problems). But the idea was to build a very basic skill set for you. And so that you wouldn’t be afraid of the numbers, (this is a real stress point for students), and to lessen the fear of learning and adding to your skills by eliminating the stress of where to start. If you confidently know what 7x3 is, that’s one less detail you need to work out and worry over when doing a math problem, (another stress point for students).
Education methods sometimes seem dry and useless and even mean to a young student. But they do actually have thought and reason behind the why a teacher might do something. I could never be bothered to try and teach you something that was pointless. I simply didn’t have the time for that kind of effort. Nor do the vast majority of teachers in a classroom.
As whitewater paddler on the alps you get used to relying on the weather report (and develop a healthy judgement for what’s the kind of rain that will get you in trouble). The kind of rain it takes to make trouble doesn’t come out of the blue :) Still, the cave has rescue spots that are fully equipped with food and thermal blankets and have several meters height as buffer. And still after all of that you are right, it always is a risk
I’ve seen two in person (possible, same one just twice). It was bigger and dumber looking than I thought it would be. The style contrasts with literally everything around it. In every possible way, it looks unfinished in a way no video or photo ever conveyed.
I hate the taillights, they just look out of place makes them hard to spot somehow. theres this black one that I see pretty often on my commute and that thing seems like a safety violation on a dark morning
Of COURSE they do. Hell they feel existential dread towards things that aren’t even there. Its just that their body language is so different from ours, that we don’t usually recognize it.
Hell just staring into an unfamiliar cat’s eyes can give it a case of the screaming jibblies.
First you have to file a second form remercion using only Pantone 19-4033 ink. I have both the necessary pens and the form for sale on my website. Unfortunately we can only sell Without Chauncey (in the United Corporation of America Federal Reserve Notes) unless you have your form ID10-T already on file, using the proper pen, using the proper degree of tilt to your writing, and with a bloody thumbprint in our office. This is to limit sales only to those who are very serious about learning how to do things properly.
Reading this constitutes acceptance of contract. Please refer to the fee schedule in my profile. I expect all payments to be made in a timely manner or, owing to my time in the Navy, I will take you before an admiralty court with a gold fringed flag
At a glance it was hard to tell that you had the image of the color because it’s close-ish to the background color of the Eternity app. I should have made it the exact same color but I couldn’t be bothered to figure it out and just picked a nice blue that was just off from normal blue pens.
