Today, Scientist Shoes, lecturer at the school of insanity, revealed that he and his team of scientists have found a correlation between coursework and insanity.
They say that students that undergo a large amount of coursework, at any one period, have chances of going insane. The experinent also found that coursework envolving maths, almost triples the rate of going insane. This is made up by the way.... |

Insane? As in clinically insane locked up in a mental assylum and being sedated insane?
I would have thought coursework would at most, cause serious amounts of stress lol. But insanity? Vets and doctors have to undergo very major workloads through university before they get anywhere close to being fully qualified... Yet they seem like the most balanced people you could meet. We trust them with our/our animals lives. And im sure they have coursework and assessments even more difficult than coursework, as well as important exams all combined together, to make sure they definitely know what they're doing. |

Eurg, I remember coursework. Biology - Osmosis in potoato cells (boring), Chemistry - Effect of Hydrochloric Acid on marble chips (even more boring), Physics - Resistance in a wire (not as bad but still boring and the worst of all English - Pride and Prejudice (boring), to name but a few.

I expect what makes it easier if people just get on with their coursework instead of moaning. That usually relieves most of the stress.

Lol everyone seems to be complaining about what a pain coursework was...
But are any of you clinically insane? im thinking not. At least I hope not =] Coursework at school isn't really worth mentioning, GCSE's are about as complicated/indepth as school gets, and even those aren't too bad. College coursework is relatively bad if you're studying a national diploma or similar, then you do coursework for two years straight or more. University coursework, now that's something worth moaning about >_< especially since you have to do it in your own time. So you actually have to CHOOSE to do it, not sit in a class and be told to. |

It's no that bad, it's there to make things easier when it comes to exams not stress you out and drive you insane.

Which I doubt, since schools just don't allow it. They'd start the lesson and tell you all where abouts you should be and what you should be doing, then suggest you get on with it. Usually because they know the majority of people who say they'll do it at home, will put it off the longest, thus effecting results. So you're just choosing not to. Instead you do it at home. Which is good if you're willing to do that, but for a lot of people it becomes harder to keep ontop of your work if you're the one setting the times you work/amounts of work done. Especially when we're talking about university work loads...which means you've got to make the willing choice to do a LOT of difficult/high level work all at once, in your own time. Classes can be as little as six hours a week at uni, so you're literally not pushed in the slightest. Even preparatory tasks are non existant, so you've barely got anyone even reminding you to do your work, nevermind sitting you down and suggesting you get it done as "that is what we will be doing this lesson." Lots of intelligent people attend university and fail, purely because they haven't got the willpower to get the work done themselves. Whereas at school, almost all intelligent people always do well because they're pushed to do so, and set rules/lesson plans that tell you that you should be working, and if you aren't you'll get told off, or punished in some way. So you either have to face embarrassment/detention or anything else they think is effective in making you do your work, or get it done. So the only people who fail are usually the one's who don't care for rules/doing as they're told and deliberately cause trouble. In short: People at university are treated as adults, and given more responsibility over doing their work. Responsibility makes things more difficult. They'll let you fail if you really can't keep up, or recommend you attend extra classes somewhere. School students are treated as children, hence why they're shouted at, punished and given detentions just to get them to do their work. So of course they get more work done on average, as they're influenced into doing so, or facing consequences. Which in effect, makes it a little easier with having an extra push behind you =] |

It's not that original/funny these days, but it reminds me of being back at school, and when that joke was actually hilarious. Which makes me a little nostalgic =] |

There is something quite scathing and harsh about teachers' red marker pens, isn't there? |
