Well, I don't know the correct answer, but I'm convinced.

Wait, I knew that was her patronus. Does that mean I'm Aims?
Which would be strange, because I thought I was Cindy.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Jilli, Other Goths,
You are right. And you were right all along. Goth is the only rational response to Modernity.
There, you got it in pixels.
(Now, someone please dig me out of the pile of books, papers and a laptop I'm buried under? My paper is only page and a half long now (+ five pages of stuff that will get in there, and growing), and it's already in four languages (Hebrew, English, German and Latin). Maybe 5, if I used Aramaic expressions. But it doesn't matter. I got it. Modernity is the root of all evil. And progress, if you're a white rich male. Now please let me goooooo!)

Woe to the fucking wicked.
What's a reasonable portion of the course grade to be determined by the midterm and final for a University course? Does 20% sound good?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
20% for each exam or 20% total? And what makes up the rest?

DebetEsse - if I understood the question right, here, as an undergrad, most of my grade - if not all of it - is based on the midterm and final. 80%, at least.

I use to have the final count more than the midterm, because I figured the students should have learned something in the meantime. (I think it was something like: final = 20%, midterm = 15%, various papers = 5% each [usually one a week--I taught Freshman comp], a couple of pop quizes = 5% each, final journal = 5%) No one failed for having a lousy day, but no one could coast to an A without doing most of the work.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
We're doing projects, rather than exams, so it's not a single day. There seems to be a culture in the department of a high weight put on participation and working with mentor teachers in local schools.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
