Computer Literacy...

Tue Dec 15, 2009, 3:01 AM
...is not about computers. It's about programs. This concept confuses and annoys me; at least my brother was able to give me a slightly better understanding. Being able to read and comprehending what your reading are two different things. I guess what they're teaching is the former in relation to the computer though they should concentrate more on the latter. If you understand the basics of computers instead of details about a program, the details will come naturally. It's like teaching someone how to learn instead of just cramming information in their face. Teaching someone to learn means they can teach themselves relatively well after that. Otherwise they still need someone else to keep shoveling the information to them.

In other news, I have finally pried my little behind into working more on some novels I want to write. I've had the ideas for a while, I'm hoping I can actually write a decent story.

Btw, don't be jealous of my anatomy work. I had lots of things wrong. :XD:

Hmm, you know, I can't remember the prof's name. If it's a female who thinks CPU's are PC's, then yes I had the same one.

Yeah, I saw your anatomy work, and am totally jealous at the moment. Was the teacher's last name Moerland in that computer class? Curiosity, because that's the last name of the teacher I have.

Oh, I've had that class, lol. The professor I had was actually rather dense. She actually thought a CPU and Processor Chip were different things. It's the SAME thing. This was my second time taking it. First time was with my dad as the proff. My grade was to help this woman who didn't have a clue how to work a comp to understand it better. I got an A, no special treatment.

I'm taking Life Drawing, aka Anatomy.

So far, dull as dirt. I'm in CPU101_S, AKA, Computer Literacy. :slamhead: Trying to be a good sport with the class, but that's really hard because I always feel the inching feeling in the back of my head 'I don't need this class' :tantrum:. Frankly, I'm really surprised they don't cover ANYTHING about basic computer maintenance or troubleshooting. Bah, whatever, I just gotta survive this and I'm done until January.
