I was just grading an assignment that I had my students do over Spring Break as part of a quiz grade. It wasn't hard, basically just giving the scientific definition of several words and then contrasting the usage of the words in science, compared with how they're used in every-day language. If they did it, I gave them credit. I was just reading what one guy handed in, and I think I could recognize maybe one out of every three words. Enough to know that he didn't do the whole assignment, but not enough to actually read what he wrote, you know? At the end, I was just thinking, "WTF did that say?" I think that in the three years I've been teaching this lab, that's the worst handwriting I've seen. I seriously just read it just long enough to realize that it wasn't all there, and then stopped because it was starting to give me a headache. :thumbup:

Some people just dont give a toss do they?

We had an online tutorial in our teaching primary maths unit this week, rather than attending an on campus one. There are probably 200 students enrolled in this course. Its 5.41 pm Friday and there are 35 posts in the tutorial. Six of which are mine. Its 10% of our mark, and 90% of the students have not bothered to do it!

I'm sad to say that I am one of those people. My handwriting is horrible. If I write in cursive it is illegible. If I print, it looks like a 4 year wrote it. Guess thats why I got into computers, hehe.

My husband's writing is horrible too. But he knows it, and acknowledges it. He can take the time to write something eligible, but if it's an option, he'll just type it.

I have to admit, that my hand writing has gotten a bit lazier the more I use computers for communication, but I don't have to slow down near as much as DH, and mine looks nice when I'm done, not just legible, lol.

*snort* :cursing:

Ahem. That is, you mean, there are people here who can't type their way out of a paper bag?! :svengo:Say it ain't so!

I gotta say, though, nothing really irritated me as much as ol' Holy Roller (if you were around in RnR last year, you know who I'm talking about) and the haiku girl. I just kept thinking "WTF?!" when I'd read their posts.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
