4 years in college [Image Thread]

Just received these in an e-mail, and almost coughed up a lung over the last one

Anyone else have any other funny college type images floating around?

I think my sides are going to split!

Excellent work!

Pet

Brilliant, especially the last one (he should have gotten 1 mark at least, for creativity), and "Expand (a+b)^n".

dory

I'd seen them before but I still almost fell off my chair laughing. Brilliant!

For an organic chemistry write-up I couldn't be arsed figuring out the synthesis pathway so ended up linking the starting molecule and product molecule (both given) with an arrow and "A miracle occurs" written above it. Not very clever compared to the one's above.

A friend was correcting a first year psychology essay the other week and came across the stunning sentence: "The brain is a necessary aid to thinking."

Lolocaust.

I wish the first years I demonstrate to would give me some entertainment. Instead it's always nice work or just slightly wrong. Idiots!

You don't demonstrate for first year Pharmacy, do you? If you do, just looking at my lab reports should have you in stitches. Not as good as the one above. My favorite is the 'expand' one with the comment beside it...ahhh, hilarious....

In the answer sheet we got for one of our Christmas Exams, it went:

f(z,u)=[formula for normal distribution was written out]

'after some algebra'

(X1 + X2) ~N(2U, 2)


I would love to have seen what mark he would have given had a student actually written 'after some algebra' in the exam

Feck all. Another question in that exam was 'Derive the Ordinary Least Squares estimator'.

I wrote out the functions, part-differentiated those that had to be part-differentiated, wrote "re-arranging and subbing in..." (or something) and then ended with the OLS derivation. I got 40% for that question and did a good bit more than write "after some algebra".

What part of "show your work" do you not understand?

The same bit as the lecturer it seems. The lecturer who during derivations would commonly say "blah blah blah... and you get the right answer."

aye and as a lecturer you can say that, and they all do when it comes to maths, they gloss over big sections of 'obvious' maths, but in an exam you naturally can't say its obvious... you have to show you know it...

I don't, unless you're making the trek out to Maynooth to do your labs which is just silly!

lol, good stuff,
I'd see that find x one a while back
