Answer these questions

Once I taught students who spent an inordinate amount of time calculating their GPAs to the fourth decimal point in an attempt to figure out how many questions, exactly, they had to get me to throw out of the exam so they would pass (at 74%). They did not come to review sessions before the exams, goofed off during class, and only came to review sessions after the exams to argue about getting their questions thrown out. One day I said, "You know, if you put half the effort into learning normal electrolytes and common medications that you do into doing long division, you'd be passing this material."

So with this thread. Don't argue we're not doing what you want, jazon-- you're right, we won't. Don't waste any more time trying to find a short-cut-- just go do your assignment, which is to interview real people.

The internet can be a wonderful tool, and because we know this we often give students links to useful things. It can also be seductive to people who want to put in less effort than they should. But it usually ends up taking more time than you needed to do the job in the first place.

It used to make me so angry when my father said, "Lazy people take the most pains," but damitol, eventually I learned he was right. Do it right the first time and be done with it.
