Title: Re: Getting up at 4AM to study sucks
Post by: Fragamemnon on February 06, 2009, 04:06:29 PM: back in the day I knew my latin vocab like the back of my hand. I could translate stuff at breakneck speed.

the key to vocab is NOTECARDS. I'm not talking about a few, I'm talking about rain man level, shoebox stuffing amounts of notecards. then drill drill drill like you were john mccain or sarah palin.

I have a stack of over 600 flash cards. It takes 3 hours to go though the whole thing one. :'(

Really this test was just hard because we just learnt the 3rd and 4th principle parts of verbs and with that came like 40 irregular verbs.

Post by: Great Rumbler on February 06, 2009, 04:12:15 PM: People get up early to study? I had a fifty question test [online] and didn't even look at any of the four chapters that were covered until twenty minutes before I started the test. And I ended up with a 92.

not exactly. if it's something like an english outline for a final or a presentation, you can easily cram it. it's a really bad idea for a language class though with all the memorization.

I'll still be drinking and forgetting everything I've spent the last 8 hours studying at 3am.

Post by: TVC15 on February 08, 2009, 06:09:23 PM: I have the last part of one uh my midterms tomorrow. It's basically all terminology. 85 multiple choice questions. Multiple choice means I don't have to study. And I haven't.

Post by: TVC15 on February 08, 2009, 06:14:07 PM: I also have a paper due tomorrow that I haven't started. I picked an article already to do it on. Needs to be 5 pages or some shit. I'll knock it out tonight when I am drunk and stoned and watching Disco Godfather at a party.

ugh..

what's with this detachable prefix bullshit. What kinda dumb fuck thought that'd be a good idea.

I wonder what I'd be saying if I were learning English. "Silent H? WTF!"
Title: Re: Getting up at 4AM to study sucks
Post by: brawndolicious on February 08, 2009, 08:01:50 PM: What I don't get is why you would take a latin class. At least take french or spanish since you might actually use those some day.

Title: Re: Getting up at 4AM to study sucks
Post by: Madrun Badrun on February 08, 2009, 09:17:13 PM: Because I'm a philosophy major, and because you do learn a lot about English from it, which everyone will agree I need. Also I would have taken French but as I live in a bilingual country, I was afraid I would get shown up by people who already know it.

Oh, that's a relevant reason. But I would recommend learning it on your own or just auditing the class since it's not going to do your gpa any good taking tests like this.

Taking Latin probably isn't the most practical way to go about addressing your basic grammar and usage problems, though learning the etymology of words will probably help your vocabulary.
Title: Re: Getting up at 4AM to study sucks
Post by: Madrun Badrun on February 08, 2009, 10:30:28 PM: Not the most practical no. While you're here malek. For Critical thinking I have the question

"If the banks are still open, then I better hurry downtown. But the banks are closed, so I guess there's no need to hurry."

That is

If Open(p) then Hurry(q)
Not Open(p)
Therefor Not Hurry(q)

Right?

That's not Modus Tollens right? which is what the answers have it as. It should be Denying the antecedent correct?

Are you asking me if that's invalid? Yeah, it's invalid. You're supposed to deny the consequent (necessary condition)

P then Q
~Q
Therefore, ~P

The logical error is very clear:

If I get expelled from law school this week, I will be depressed
I didn't get expelled from law school this week
Therefore, I'm not depressed!
