My new prescription specs suck. I can see crystal clear on a narrow band in front of me, but things are out of focus on the periphery, at close range, and looking downwards. :mad:
Badly diagnosed prescription or are your eyes just still adjusting to a new prescription? If it's the latter then obviously just wait a while... but if it's the former... eep... I wonder what can be done about it?
This is what I really hate about eye tests -- cos ya know, half the time it's like this...
"Which is better? Number 1..."

"...or number 2?"

THEY LOOK THE SAME!!!
The optometrists are probably quietly laughing their butts off while they keep flicking between image 1 and 2!
:D
Property law exam tomorrow... on a public holiday...
I'd better be uncontrollably rich one day. Like, Tony Stark rich.
If I get one more crap mark for assignments I work my a$$ off to perfect, I'm going to scream. I am not a credit student, and never have been, so why do I keep getting assignments back with that damn letter on it and no reason why? If I was given constructive criticism I might accept it, but not when the only comments written on it is "well done, a very nice piece of work", and thats it? Are there any teachers or lecturers out there can you perhaps give me a hint as to why I am receiving such contradictory marks?!
:mad:
I suggest you go and ask them yourself. I have noticed that some teachers will mark you really bad but then make a positive comment at the end as encouragement or not to put you down. To me doing that insults intelligence as it feels like a cheap attempt at encouragement which needs no effort whatsoever from the Teacher. I prefer someone to show me what I did wrong as at least I would have an idea on what to improve.Quote:

As a high school teacher I never return a piece of work with less than an 'A' grade without some indication of what was less than perfect and the areas on which the student should focus on in order to improve next time. I think one of the problems with universities is that many lecturers/tutors aren't actually trained in how to teach - they're academics, or even students themselves, and as such they may know how to lecture, but not necessarily how to educate. I agree with Kup. Towers, unfortunately in situations like these the only way to find out what's going wrong is to talk to the person marking your work. If I were you, I would point out the fact that the marking lacks constructive criticism, and hopefully next time they will have learned from their mistakes, even if their lack of transparency has meant that you've been no closer to finding out your own.Quote:

I might shoot the marker an email today in that case, and see if I can get some constructive criticism. Its the last thing I wanted with the exam for this subject being tomorrow :(
What subject is it?Quote:

I'm not saying it always works, but when I did this back at Uni (with a genuine interest to improve and not just for the marks), lecturers often ended up giving me better marks on the spot!
So I give in to my wife's complaining about the overflowing built-in robe in the spare room and start sorting it out.
Find some stuff I can throw out/sell/give to the kids, creating more space.
But do you think I can fit anything more in?
Nooooooooo
In fact, I can fit less in now!
WTF?!?!?! :confused:
guess i'm going to have get everything out and try again....
:)A reverse Tardus or your wife snuck in some stuff:D
I want that bag of holding that's on the target ad.

Never got bored? I think you must've been doing a different subject :p its ok, but knowing how courts work and everything from arrest to sentencing is boring to me. All legislations and stuff. I like the social and cultural theories and debating how and why they do and don't work to explain us little people, and why we commit crime :pQuote:

Just re-do it in different ways. Try getting the line up on the heel bit done first then the gold part. Make sure the heel is just right.
Mine has been popping off to. But I re-do it and it usually works out
It's not obvious at all when the toy is static. But when I'm playing with the toy it becomes painfully apparent.Quote:
