Definitely more than usual, but a lot of these aren't easy either almost like the start of semester 2, which is 10x harder workload than S1 or w/e. and they only just scraped through S1. Just speculating...
At least nobody is falling for the, "I looked online but couldn't find this," line. I'm still working on an undergrad part-time, so I have classes with this kind of students. I can't wait for the day when I get to interview these kids.
In 1993, the online service America Online began offering Usenet access to its tens of thousands, and later millions, of users. To many "old-timers", these "AOLers" were far less prepared to learn netiquette than university freshmen. This was in part because AOL made little effort to educate its users about Usenet customs, or explain to them that these new-found forums were not simply another piece of AOL's service. But it was also a result of the much larger scale of growth. Whereas the regular September freshman influx would soon settle down, the sheer number of new users now threatened to overwhelm the existing Usenet culture's capacity to inculcate its social norms
That sounds a little like 4chan... I've never been on Usenet. What is it? ("It's a weapon! It's really powerful, especially against living things!").
I know! I actually really like classical; I find it very calming. Vivaldi, Grieg and Rimsky-Korsakov are my favourite composers. I forget what the score by Korsakov was that I really liked...
Edit: it was Procession of the Nobles.
Also Chaikovski and Tynyanov (Russian composers have always been my favourite).
I don't listen to music while I program (unless you consider the sound of fingers hammering on a keyboard music); I find it too distracting. You know what I want? A keyboard like they have in movies that emulates the sound of a dot-matrix printer.
