Yes, but when doing that you generally need to think back about a week. That takes effort ;)

Well, if you were hiding behind the desk in the first place, it serves you right if a calendar fell on your head.

Also, what are you making you calendars out of if they hurt so much? Lead?

What else do you make them out of so you can use them in radioactive areas, like my room?

But then you'd have to stand behind them to protect you from the radiation!

Or, in my system:

Student Name
Teacher
Course Code
Date submitted

Sa'ar Chasm 02-19-2006 05:43 AM

Experiment Title and Number
Student Name
Lab Section
TA Name (one or two of my students always insist on putting El Stevo here)
Some Sort of Date

Hmmm. Apparently the MLA standard isn't as standardized as the name implies. Oh well.

Xeroc 02-19-2006 06:27 AM

Method Address Protocol
Host

This reminds me of one time in high school chemisty when we were doing a titrations lab. The lab book I was writing in to record my method and observations similarly needed an Experiment Title, but I think the best my teacher had done was "Lab 15: Titrations." Obviously this needed some work, so I wrote in my lab book: "Lab 15: I'm Pickin' Up Good Titrations..."

The teacher was amused, which is one of the better possible reactions I get from teachers when I try to be clever/funny.

Heh.

Yeah, but it's too cool a term to avoid mentioning.

Chancellor Valium 02-20-2006 06:27 PM

Since sometime about halfway through secondary school (I'd guess), I've layed out everything comme ca:

Quote:

(Date of writing) Insert Title Here

Blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah, blah blah. etc etc ad nauseam

e of pi 02-20-2006 11:39 PM

Hmmmm. Interesting. I usually stop njust before nauseam.

Bad idea. If you continue past it, the teacher vomits and then no-one knows the mark anyway!

e of pi 02-25-2006 07:45 PM

Hmmmm. But what about page limits? Also, my old history teacher had a saying about essay lengths.

"An essay is like womens clothing. It needs to be long enough to cover everything, but short enough to keep things interesting."
