  2. Re:level on Minnesota School Issues iPad 2 To Every Student · · Score: 2

    You must have had some terrible professors, not dismissing the use of forums, of which I am a huge advocate. I just had excellent professors throughout my CompSci degree. Lecturer always had time to respond to emails, see you after class and pause in class to answer questions.

  10. Re:Not that surprising, actually on 5 Out of 11 Crashed Unity In Canonical's Study · · Score: 1

    Lets not forget that Gnome-Shell was scheduled for 10.10 (The perfect 10) but Mark decided to delay it. http://techie-buzz.com/foss/ubuntu-10-10-will-not-have-gnome-shell.html Although i agree just because he correctly delayed it the first time, does not mean he correctly has decided to include it this time. KDE 4.0 all over again. Although with gnome it looks boring and we are not prepared to put up with a dysfunctional DE for 2 years.

  15. Re:Obvious on Are Graphical Calculators Pointless? · · Score: 5, Informative

    As a mathematics teacher I always encouraged my students to show working as a means of giving them partial marks for partially correct answers. Very hard to award marks for working out that is not there even if I can see what they *probably* did wrong to get the mark they did.
