Brain Death

[jpskewedthrone]

Nothing like grading papers and designing, typing, taking, then revising exams to wipe the brain completely free of any coherent thought. That's pretty much how I spent my day. And I still need to take and revise one of the exams. I think it's going to need a few cuts due to time constraints. What will I cut? I WANT TO ASK IT ALL! *end tantrum*

I think I deserve a movie tomorrow. Knowing or Duplicity? Any nonspoilery advice from the masses?

PS--This is why teachers look so stressed all the time: all of the work we do outside of class that no one really pays any attention to. I mean, seriously, I spent at least 6 hours on grading and exams today. A Saturday. A Saturday when the sun was out and the temperature was actually in the "decent" range. (Sorry to all of those reporting snow, but we had a SPECTACULAR day here.)

In my experience with math in movies and TV shows, they draw pretty pictures and say impressive sounding math terms but do no real math. I would guess that is what will happen with this movie. In real life they would run the numbers through a computer to come up with all the possible ways the numbers could be split apart. Then a person would look through them until some patterns came out that were familiar. Then they would only look at combinations that matched the ones that contained that pattern, look for more patterns, and continue weeding out in this fashion.

In terms of the test, it's almost impossible to expect students to learn math on their own outside of class, so I'm pretty sure he mentioned everything in class.
