Maybe they are writing about their feelings on the paper.milnews.ca said:Or 3rd year poli sci students spelling frigate "friggit" in a paper and a presentation.....
Occam said:You need only tune into "Holmes Inspection" or "Holmes on Homes" to see what paying someone $300 for a job will get you, vice paying someone who knows the rules inside out, gets all the right permits and has all the right tools $1000 for the same job. You get what you pay for, in most cases.

Sorry kids, it doesn't matter what your Marxist Labour history prof (who's never seen a callus or blister in his life) tells you, you're not likely to get someone to upgrade your kitchen plumbing in exchange for a rivetting paper on Foucault's economic theories.
That was the case, for a while (close to 100% pass rate). That's no longer the case.George Wallace said:The truly scary thing about this is that if the CF follows along with this development, we will see more courses with 100% Pass rates. I have seen where CTC has already done this in the past with officer Phase courses. Not necessarily a good thing. End result for us is that LIVES are actually ON THE LINE.

Very good point.Scott said:My wife recently started teaching at the local University - an entry level engineering course for a feeder program. She just administered her first test and was horrified that only a couple of people passed and some marks were abysmal and so she was contemplating adjusting things (like omitting marks for one question in particular) to adjust the curve - thinking she had been too hard on them. She asked me my thoughts and mine are simple: I don't want them, in their first year, to start seeing adjustments like this and I wouldn't want someone who has had benefit of said adjustments building any bridge I might cross.
She spoke to her department head and he felt the same as I did ;D
Good to see someone in "the system" backing that idea - it's NOT the same everywhere.Scott said:My wife recently started teaching at the local University - an entry level engineering course for a feeder program.
