I don't know!  But if you're in an argument with an anarchist, posting it always causes some kind of hilarious reaction.

Yeah, that seems designed to completely derail everything.

Ah, I think I know what it is now.  Something to do with a Political-Crossfire pissing match involving (of course), anarchists.

Regardless, I shall use it wherever it seems appropriate.  Which is everywhere.

I gotta heave up a rant.

Today seems to be mostly composed of working on a practice test that has a lot of problems on it using equations we never went over in class, which means that for each one I have to look it up and figure it out, and also working on a lot of molarity/molality/mole fraction stuff, which isn't hard as much as it requires a lot of housekeeping.

I certainly hope that this is all relevant to the test tomorrow. It will piss me off if I spend all day working on this shit and it turns out I really should have spent my time on polarity or somesuch.

QuoteThe mole fraction of iron(III) acetate, Fe(CH3COO)3, in an aqueous solution is 4.46E-2 .

The percent by mass of iron(III) acetate in the solution is  ?%.

Blah, blah, blah.

YEP. She's staff, too, which means she's salary.

She's also the better of the two remaining options on my campus next term. The really good teacher isn't teaching the class next term, and the other decent teacher got a better job.

Which leaves me with the nice, but scattered teacher who has a terrible memory and is bad at math.

Sounds exactly my security academy, except... you know... what you are learning is important.

She may be nice, but she's putting things on tests that weren't covered in class, if I understand you correctly.

Second tutorial in 2 days on less than 5 hours of sleep.

Also, should have a new DAO episode up on Youtube in about 2 hours or less.

Yes, but she's also giving us notice that it will be in the test, and it's in the book and the homework. This is not like the guy I had a couple of terms ago who would test us on stuff he hadn't even introduced to us.

So, yeah, she should have covered this in class, but she ran out of time (snow days) but we're required to know it anyway, which is really not her fault (IUPAC regulations) and since we want our IUPAC certifications at the end of next term, we suck it up and learn on our own. And hope that spending all this time learning the stuff she ran out of time for doesn't turn into a liability because we should have been brushing up on stuff she DID go over in class.
