Cubing in lectures

[aronpm]

Okay, I would find cubing during a lecture very disrespectful and rude.

From the perspective of other students, it distracts them. Whether it's loud or not-so-loud, the noise will still distract people. And for people sitting close to you, they might not be able to hear the lecturer.

If I were a lecturer I'd find this very rude. I've spoken in front of classes before, and when you look around the room and see that most people aren't listening, it makes you think "people don't even care, why should I even bother?"

Hmm now I think I've got the idea wrongly. Did the thread starter meant cubing in lecture as in speedcubing? Like time yourself and all that? Cause' that's just dumb and yea disrespectful, rude, etc.

Absolutely true. Back in grade 11, I taught students competition and olympiad level math at my school. There were some stupid kids who were just there to get "participation points". They kept talking all the time and never tried out the problems. It can be very disheartening to the lecturer, and that might come back to bite you later.

Back in my parent's day they had to takea few humanities or arts courses even if they were doing something like compsci, but whenever i up a science-based major (engineering, nanotech, compsci etc), there are usually 1 or 0 irrelevant courses. i'm in canada so this is the case in the two best universities here, waterloo and toronto.

All that school you skipped is reflecting in your ability to compose comprehensible sentences. Also, you can't objectively say what the two best universities are in Canada - there are a dozen that all can fill the spot just depending on how you judge them.

You'd be surprised to know I took grade 12 english in grade 10 and completed the course with the 2nd highest mark in the school that year.

My BS detector just exploded :O

It's not impossible... I took Eng9 and Eng 10 in grade 9, and Eng 11 and Eng12 in grade 10. I don't like studying english as a subject (writing stories and reading is fun though), so I wanted to get it over with asap.

Turn slowly. I tend to get quite fast at F2L when I turn slowly.
