Online classes

Why is Math or Engg. Not good to take online?

It is difficult to explain what you are actually asking the instructor in virtual rooms. In a classroom, you can draw on the board or repeatedly ask the same question to get it answered. You can’t do that in a freakin’ Webinar.

About lab work, my labs were virtual or remote setup of computers which I had to configure according to the requirements of the labs at the time. No, it wasn’t a Chemistry or Biology lab.

Thanks Sentry. Confusion cleared!

Classes are seminars?
Study time is lab time?
So what is actual lab time? Surgery time for meds. And space exploration time for aero engrs? Chemical plant building time for Chem enggs?

Everything got upgraded it seems. Must be inflation? (Though some would argue inflation is tame at < 2 pct in the west. Or could it be the very low interest rates could portend inflation? Can we have a seminar and lab time to discuss and study this issue respectively?)

Classes are just classes, sometimes they are called seminars or lectures, sometimes you study in a cluster room which is sometimes just called a room. Sometimes they decide your classes are in a lab or that your seminar is in a lab but what is a lab? Apparently it’s just a class or a room. Study time is just study time but it can be lab time or class time or revision time or learning time or catch up time.

Lab time could be anything computing/science/medicine time or class time or seminar time. I think @madz124 is running study lab class time on inflation. Ask her.

To many phrases, none of which I care much for. No one got time for serious talk.

What’s this board business? Is this a magical board where you draw stuff and things pop out in 3D? I’ve never seen anyone draw on boards.

@MM

Or anyone who has done both? Which do you prefer and why?

Pros/ cons of only online classes?

What program are you in, MM?
I think whichever learning mode you choose depends highly on the subject being taught. I went to a business school where group study/participation was huge. We had 3 hour lectures (per week) for each subject, plus a 1.5 hour seminar for some courses. The lectures were mainly just that… a teacher going over the slides, using the board to explain concepts, and taking some questions here and there (but not a lot given the amount of material required to be covered in that time frame). Seminars, on the other hand, were primarily discussion based and very helpful in keeping everyone engaged and on the same page.

For certain courses, you can easily learn the material on your own, while for others it really helps to have someone readily available to clear any confusion. I feel like if I’m stuck on something, I can waste a lot of time figuring it out.
So one of the things that I actually loved about the classroom experience was learning from your peers and having a study group to motivate each other to stay caught up with the workload. It also helps to know how smart/knowledgeable your competition is, and how much you need to know to get an “A”.

That said, there were definitely courses that didn’t require you to physically sit through a painful lecture because either the material was too easy (like Business Ethics or IT audit) or the professor was not great (Stats my dad could have done a better job at teaching me).

I think u captured everything with the last sentence. You are hereby bestowed the title Maharathi.

Look forward to the lab seminar room class cluster session conducted by Madz123 on inflation. Any links? I hear Madz may not see this request before next cluster session.

No links, since she hasn’t replied as of yet to what time classes run, it probably means you have no invitation to her study lab seminar cluster room time on inflations.

Re: Online classes

Inflations? Is that s an effect of inflation?
Wrt the horse solid particles emoticon, did the solid particles disappear due to deflation? Since multiple particles disappeared, would that be deflations?

Yes, the board is magical. Ask anyone in IT.

The effect of inflation is -2.15% of the current growth of solid particles. Without solid particles, horse emoicons inflation would rise to +0.241% with a growth of 0.0014% every annum. The reason multiple particles disappeared was due to inflation on horse emoicons in 2013 being below the current worldwide usage level of 41.6% which in turn affected solid particles however with horse emoicons inflations rising with a growth of 0.0014% every annum there is a slight possibility we could see the resurgence of solid particles and multiple particles in the near future.
