will be laughing at your crude attempts to eliminate the powere of the
calculator. I envisage a professor ..... burning books....... damning
that upstart Gutenberg for the printing press.... ruining for all time the
sanctity of the mind...
oh that's right .... the universities and some high schools are still the
one place where books
are banned during evaluations.........
and you wonder why there is no correlation between university grades and
success in later careers..
Some of us find it disheartening when a fossil continues to waste
processor capacity and memory space to do these types of calculations when
a little instruction could teach them how to use 20th century tools like
the calculator.
I don't worry too much about formulas plugged into calculators because I
try to give conceptually based exams rather than plug and chug type.
I'm going to come around and check your calculator for
formulas AND I KNOW HOW TO GET AROUND THE MEMORY CLEARED MESSAGE." Then I
watched with a smirk on my face while at least one-half of the class
started playing with buttons on their TI-XX's.
This depends of course on what was announced prior to your coming to the
