Cancer Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER In principle there ought be some opportunity for feedback from student to lecturer, and that gets, well, non-existent in on-line lectures.

Cancer Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I did an on-line course once. I wasn't too keen on it, and not entirely due to the on-line medium itself, though that was part of it. The libraries at the remote sites were pretty much non-existent. I sent students out to do a small library research paper, minimum of three sources. A big chunk of papers had one source as the class textbook and another as the class lecture notes. I compared that to commission of incest, in a story I've related on these boards before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER From a long time, about a decade ago: A Marriage Company You often hear a spouse called a 'partner' because marriage is a 'partnership'. I'm entertaining the idea that when I get married to form a company 'B G & ? ? Clarke Pty Ltd'. Then I can call my 'partner' a 'shareholder' and the other benefit is that of limited liability. Sort of similar to a prenuptial agreement, the shareholder brings to the company the assets they want, and the others remain in their own name. A divorce would dissolve the company. Problem foreseen: the company is forced into liquidation but the marriage continues. Origin of idea: lecture on Capital Gains Tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
