Ike Boards General/Q&A Thread

[Ussi]

i hate professors who grade homework. This is like high school -_-;

College is high school.

Go to class -> get homework -> do exams -> repeat

The only difference is that going to class is sometimes optional.

 

[san.]

Labs, Discussions, Office Hours, and TAs make everything different though.

 

[Ussi]

homework not being graded is also a difference. I never had a class that required lengthy (20+ problems) homework every 3 classes.

With calculus, there is homework, but it's never graded. So I just do 3-5 selected problems (i pick ones with vareity) and I know what to do instead of doing all 15+ problems assigned.

 

[san.]

HW not being graded? That's odd. All of my classes grade for completeness and if they are all correct, and even then they're only worth like 5% of grade.

I have problem sets with 15+ problems (each with 4-5 parts) and multiple projects and labs each week (or every other week if projects are long)

 

[theeboredone]

Likewise. Homework is graded, and it's actually recommended given the fact it preps you for the tests fairly well.

I dub you lucky with only 15+ problems. In my math classes, I normally get 30-60 problems. The teacher had the nerve to give us two 60-problem worksheets with problems that had 4~5 steps in them, and they're graded for accuracy.

I dunno about you, but TAs and office hours seem pretty pointless to me. Yes, if you have a question or need help, that's what they're there for, but specific hours of the day to trek to a building just for help with some things doesn't seem too keen in my eyes. Something about that whole system just irks me.

 

[Ussi]

... I used to never do homework :s even graded homework.

old habits die hard

 

[Palpi]

I never do anything in school...maybe thats why I suck at it.

Yes, there might be a slight chance that this is the reason why.....we should search further. >_>

That's why college is different. There are also online classes, higher level classes, and classes catered to your interests. I definitely find myself working harder in college than I did in high school. I don't know if you're a freshman taking core classes or at a community college or what, but specialized classes aren't just nothing. 16th and 18th century counterpoint and symphonic literature are things high school doesn't offer.
Also, I always got away with doing no homework in high school. I can't do that in college. Not past the cute little 1000 level courses, at least.

Things are also a little different for me because I perform a closed jury at the end of every semester (I play piano for faculty and get my semester grade based on my performance). That's not participation grades like high school always gave out.

 

[Ussi]

College just has more stuff to remember, pretty it to me.

What's homework? lol jk

I almost never do homework. I basically think like this:
"Do I have homework? Okay, I'll do it tomorrow morning during my free."
*Next day*
"Nah, I'll do it tomorrow."
*Initiate infinite loop of not doing homework*

 

[Ussi]

storm brewing here... knocked out my power for 5 seconds.. had to reset my modem -__-

Obviously the material's different, I'm just saying the format's almost exactly the same. Even online classes more or less come down to "class"->homework->exam. It's just how our education system's built. Yes, there are perks here and there, but when people tell me "oh, get ready for college/high school/next level in life," it's just....sad how similar it really could be unless you make it your own experience.

And at the lower level courses here, homework sometimes ends up being most of your grade. >_>

On a side note, I finally got to try out MvC3 today. DANTE!!!!! *fangirl squeal* Every time I saw a new move, I just immediately recognized it and did another fangirl squeal <3 <3 <3 <3

Jackpot. *BOOM*

 

[jamlosingthegame]

Ussi got hit? I was outside with my brother after a game of football with some friends. I saw about 3-4 lightning strikes. And some weird limo thingy. It was like a double decker bus, but smaller in height and size.

 

[Ussi]

yeh i'm hit. Storm is hitting on me pretty badly.

 

[jamlosingthegame]

lol the storm has a thing for Ussi if it's hitting on him badly. It's PVP Ussi! Take control! jk, be safe.

 

[Senliten]

yeh i'm hit. Storm is hitting on me pretty badly.

Learn to CH that **** foo, show it who's boss.

 

[theeboredone]

First time I've played Smash this extensively and competitively in a long way. Felt good.

 

[Ussi]

I'm sad there is no stream for pound 5 :< I wanted to watch san (and ESAM)

 

[jamlosingthegame]

Hopefully people save their matches so we who are not there can watch.

[theeboredone]

Oh yeah, I teched a 9 my friend did to me off stage lol. Ruined his moment.

 

[Ussi]

@Jam


I wall tech jumped a Ganon dair to a footstool gimp winning the game

 

[AN(M)ist]

Oh yeah, +300 to post count! I just got myself 3 extra lives. :DD

Sadly, there aren't very good Ike and Sonic avatars out there; I'm thinking I should edit and post them up on google images for lulz

 

[disasterABDUL]

My avatar is the best

 

[Ussi]

i'm blue da ba de da ba dai


anyone know how san did in his pool? twitter has nothing on him

 

[Heartstring]

why no livestream pound? useless XD
also yes, how did san do?

 

[theeboredone]

I guess I can text him.

 

[Teh Brettster]

Lol, usually I'm the first/only one to think of that.

 

[theeboredone]

Clearly I am motivated to pull off such a feat...

 

[Ussi]

get trolled

 

[theeboredone]

Holy crap. That's just sad. Amazing how people can take a video game so seriously. Srs business.

So I tried trollin the Wolf boards, but they were too furry for me. First thing I saw on the Olimar board is a guy with a dress on.

 

[AN(M)ist]

so how big is this tourney that san is on? bigger than MLG?

 

[Ussi]

154 entrants for brawl (Melee is 250ish so as big as MLG)

Well turns out the guy passing out was a troll on twitter, but someone else tweeted about him getting hit, but maybe that could be a troll attempt too lol..

Ayi i wouldn't be surprised if he did get hit by a controller though. I watched BC rage in person after he lost to san.

 

[AN(M)ist]

lol speaking of rage, I saw a lucario player smacking his head like 3 times after he lost to some player. Its...just weird how people get obsessed over BRAWL; i mean we all know this game isn't balanced and I'm pretty sure sakurai said something of this sort too.

 

[Blubolouis]

I started playing Ike again a little now that I've gained experience with some other characters, and I'm really satisfied. Spacing comes more naturally and I detect paterns much more easily. I'll get back to him in a few weeks. :>

Wha? What happened?

 

[jamlosingthegame]

A couple matches told me I need better spacing. Also, played MvC3 at a friend's house. Pressing random buttons is fun. No I didn't button mash. Proof: the controller is still alive.
