so why not sum up
and say that actually
you never learned anything from me

You have nothing worth teaching, that's why he never learned anything
from you.

little Nazi shit mother fucker
and 22years imbecil that cant learn something new

Really?
Then why do I waste about 40 hours a week doing physics

Actually I am surprised it is that low. Even the one subject I am doing
this semester is taking up enormous amounts of time. I recently started
looking at some past exam papers and found they require quite a deal of long
manipulations such as inverting a 3x3 symbolic matrix (and that is only a
small part of the problem) to solve. And guess what - you must get one such
question out without error to pass - I suppose since it is masters level you
got to expect things to be a bit tougher - but this subject is also open to
second year undergrads. I actually had a panic attack the first paper I
attempted and failed to solve. Only one solution - a lot more practice at
doing long manipulations. I can now do all questions on all past papers -
but if I can do it during an exam only time will tell.

I got my first assignment back the other day - not too bad - lost 1/2 mark
for a silly arithmetic error I should have double checked, another half for
not showing the full working of a step (despite the fact the lecturer made
this big song and dance about not putting in every step - I suppose I went a
little too far), and another half for not reducing an algebraic expression
as far as it would go. Not too bad I suppose - will try and do better next
time. The marker made a few comments that have got me stumped - I will need
to chat about it today with them at the tutorial. Learning a lot about
using LaTex though, which is a bit of fun.

Interestingly most students seem not to be math majors - mostly physics,
engineering and computer science students.

Thanks
Bill

if I can't
learn anything new? No, I do not mean my USENET postings. That is
about 3 hours a week.

My success at exams I attribute to mints. I take a reasonable size bag
of imperials with me, and once they state "turn over your paper" I
relax, pop a mint in me gob and turn over the paper. I find the sugar
rush conducive to the relaxation process ;-)

I'm now in my final year so its my dissertation that's taking most of my
time. I've only had one assignment given this semester, and that's do a
five-page paper on SOME aspect of fields/particle physics - I'm
considering a critique of VSL cosmologies.

This semester has seen the workload (as far as assignments and their
ilk) plummet but the workload in reading and keeping up has kept going.
I do at least 40-50 hours per week all told, but being older I tend to
be far more organised in my work and seem to work better!!

None of my exams have really been in depth - though I made some STUPID
arithmetic errors in one module and as a result didn't do as well as I
could have. Never mind - as it stands all I have to do now is simply
PASS the remaining modules for this semester and I have a first.

I've been accepted for a PhD position, and as its continuing on in
spectroscopy, I've got plenty of summer reading till I start.

I've finished near enough 95% of my dissertation workload and so am
currently just finalising the outline of the document itself.

What I love about Latex (as I do all my notes with it) is that should I
forget my laptop, I can type up my notes in any email client and then
send it to myself at home. Its got to the point where when I write
preliminary notes in pen, I often write Latex code for equations ;-)
