New Stream - Future Land!!

[Amy]

See Sub... I'm not crazy.

Yeah you are.

Wait a sec - I didn't think sanity was a prerequisite to being a member here on Subsonic...

I'm thinking several of us are in trouble if it is

Thanks to all who got this stream up and running!! I love it!! It's all I've been listening to the last few days!!

Glad to have been able to listen in for a week or two before it went live. Great job by those involved and I thoroughly enjoy the stream. It's perfect background music for studying and I think it will help bring me passing grades

I'd say back to the books, but everything is online, so back to acrobat reader for my histology material

Do you have to buy any textbooks Len or are your texts online now?

If needed I would just download a textbook. I personally am not a big textbook learner to begin with. There are hard copies of the text on reserve at the library in the school as well. However, most stuff is going digital now. We don't have written exams at my school. All exams are done on the computer.

Out of curiosity, how do they prevent cheating while taking exams on computers??

Scrambled questions and answers along with proctors watching.

And may I presume the computers you're using don't have internet connections?

Thanks ~ I was curious how much of the textbooks and course materials were online or digital now.

Good question. Either that or the proctors really have to be on their toes.

Good to know that I'm not the only one studying while listening.

It depends very much on the subject and of course the individual universities/schools in question. Most teachers, regardless of subject, put their lecture notes up for download, but if the school doesn't buy campus licenses for digital versions of textbooks, it's not that easy (read: cheap ) to access them for students. (In my university, only the medical faculty does that so far, at least on a bigger scale.)

No, they don't (or at least shouldn't have). Exam software is mostly set up so that you either cannot start any other applications (like browsers) or the network admins just block any connection other than the one to the servers supplying the questions.

Awesome! Listened to future land stream on my mac, and it is awesome!
Thanks for the wonderful work you put into it!

[DAR]

Looking forward to the IOS stream

[elizabethswann]

All these wonderful streams are going to make my school year less stressful when doing homework. I'm going to give this one a listen to tomorrow!

I just wanted to say a quick THANK YOU to everyone involved in making this stream possible!!!! Cbog40 has been listening to it like crazy, and now that I am able to listen to it as well (I've been away), I will be joining those ranks. Great music to work to!
