Education & Reference - 16 July 2007

My professor uses the cold call technique in class. I can understand it to an extent, to make sure people do their readings. However, it's not only for assignments, it's for any thing throughout the lecture that may come up.

A few times I've been called on and given the wrong answer, in which it's turned into a joke and classmates have laughed.

I learn the answer, but feel down afterwards thinking how can I come back to the same class every week with these peoples lowered opinion of me. I don't feel more educated, I feel the opposite.

Is there some good I should be extracting from this style of teaching?

Again, this is not based on course material all the time. Perhaps it's on something we *should* know, but...

1. When a man is hit on his sexual organ (for example because of a kick or sth else) a situation happens to him in which his sexual organ doesn’t work anymore. Now what I want to know is a word,expression,phrase or whatever describing this case.

2. I have seen the movie Eyes Wide Shut twice but really got nothing of its concept. What's the notion, the concept of this movie? Please tell me whatever useful or possible to be there.

3. In one source I read that the word quotation is a noun and quote is verb and you can't use anyone of them instead of another one, but I have a book named Bible Quotes in Crystal Land. How come? May be I translate the name wrong! If so please tell me the correct meaning of the name or the usage of the word QUOTE.
4. When 2 people live together before marriage what's the word for that situation?
Beforehand thanks a lot for your help.

Mean that something is good? If something is ordinary, surely that means it's just average/ok? So if something is described as EXTRA-ORDINARY that means it C>R>A>P?

My kids have always had a parent at home and never had to go to daycare, but now my husband and I both need to work. My 2 year old is not potty trained and is digging his heels in on the matter. He's also gifted. He knows his alphabet and numbers and will probably be reading by age 3 like his 7 yr old sister. I need to find a nice place for both children that will help them progress academically, creatively, and socially; and be inexpensive. I think my husband and I just barely dont qualify for state funded child care. Any recommendations?

I took these classes in 9th grade and I think I screwed up big time.

Gym(A)
Spanish 1(-A.B+)
Pre-Physcial Science (B+,A)
English(B+,-A)
Keyboarding(A)
Finance(B+)
Geometry(B+,-A)
Astronomy(-B)

The problem is Pre-Physcial Science, it is easy than regular 9th grade. I got B+ cause I wasn't trying hard enough. I REALLY LIKE SCIENCE AND THEN THE NEXT SEMESTER I GOT AN "A" AND ALL THE 3 SEMESTERS I WAS ON THE "B" HONOR ROLE. THE 3rd GPD WAS 3.5

WHAT DO YOU THINK? WILL THEY ACCEPT ME?

I am a entering Freshmen at UC Santa Cruz and I want to transfer to University of Southern California and enter in the Fall of 2008. I sort of didn't get into USC the first time i applied last year and I regret that I didn't as hard. I had a average of a 3.5 high school GPA and a 1800 on my SATs. Senior year I got a 4.0 but that was too late. I'm very involved in Student Government in high school which won me the Graduate of the Year award. However my academic grades are not as high as USC standards. So my goal is to work hard during my freshmen year. Anyone have any info about transfering to USC and how much they admit and what chances I stand or is it worth the time?
