Scantrons always were annoying. But thankfully, I never had to do them outside of standardized tests.

As far as learning methods... yeah, get used to it. =/ It doesn't even change at MIT. We have something called TEAL, which is how 8.01 (Newtonian Mechanics Physics) and 8.02 (E&M Physics), two mandatory classes, are taught. TEAL (Technology Enabled Active Learning) is, in my opinion, worthless as a teaching method. You get 7-8 different professors all teaching different sections in different ways, but wait, it gets better. Half of them are technology inept... the first letter in TEAL is Technology. I see an issue there. Oh well, my rant isn't really appropriate here. My point is, I went to class and read the book, because it was more effective than paying attention to my teachers... if I was in a lecture-based teaching, I'd be fine.

You can read more about TEAL there/see pictures of the classroom if you want.

Are you serious? x__x Oh, dear god, no. NO. That would kill me. They give you a book, though ... That's good. I'd do the same- teach myself out of the book and ignore the professors P: I learn far better that way.

Are your screens projected onto the white screens? o.o I'm so self-conscious about doing school work. I'd screw up everything if that were the case because I'd be so nervous.

Also, at least they give you books x__x they don't give us book. We don't need them or some shit. I want my book > I'd actually be able to keep a straight A+ throughout the entire course.

Yep, TEAL is the death of me. You have to buy the book, you don't just get it. And every white board can be broadcasted onto the screens by hitting a button below them. Besides powerpoints, it's how the professors do notes.

I momentarily forgot up there that I was talking to a college student, hence why I was like "They give you books D;"

I'm sorry ): That's freakin' awful.

If you want, you could dismantle the classroom and send it to me. I would not mind that. And then they wouldn't be able to give you the class. And I would have an awesome looking bedroom. lol

Josh: The room is alarmed. So give me a week, after I get back.

Both? You have more than one? Do you mean the reading and writing ones, too?

A week to get around an alarm? You're an MIT student, I would expect better.

well, I mean, to dissect that room? and during two-a-day practices for football?

Scantrons blow, especially if its one that has little rectangles you fill in, as opposed to circles that you bubble in.

We do them on the computer, on Edperformance.com or something.

Nearly all our tests are scantron format.

Hi. I'm Australian.

For us, the only scantron tests in high school (and the university I'm planning on going to, as far as I can tell) are the NAPLAN, once every 2 years.
