Thought you might be interested to know (fforumites and possibly Jasper) that I've been teaching TEA on a course at the University I work at. Students had to write essays on it and all!!!!!!!!

"Chuckle" :-)

Warning! Product may contain Newts...

Dammit dammit dammit! I went to the wrong university...

Althoug (to be totally honest) the chances of studying TEA as part of an ecology degree were always pretty slim...

I never thought of that as a way to spread the word....

This is the work of an Italian narco-anarchic collective. Don't bother insulting them, they can't read English anyway.

Er ... what were you teaching, exactly? And can you send full details to Whatever Next? Sounds like good copy to me ....

So what kind of things are you using TEA to teach? The wonders of non-linear thinking? I'm really curious. Sounds like a hoot. And so far, what have your students thought? Do they "get" it?

All I know is that every time I read it, I "get" something new!

Note to students:
Will write essay's for beer.
That is all, thank you.

Certainly sounds a lot more interesting than 'The Intermediate
Value Theorem' and other such junk I had to learn...

I did manage to crowbar "Is that an entroposcope I see before
me" as an answer to one of my questions last term.

The students think I'm mad. They may be right !

there's no 'may' about it...

You've no room to speak. For years I thought 'nano' referred to very small things. Yesterday I find out from your son that it's a music instrument with 88 keys !

Hey, he's his own little person. If he wants to call it a nano, it's up to him...

I used to call ice-creams meemos, apparently. I think I was about 14 at the time.

(Better say that before the Brother does).

Tell your kids that ice cream vans play the tune to let people know they've run out of ice cream...

You mean that's not true? I'm going to have words with my mother...

All right, who wants to tell him about Santa Claus?

big jolly man in a red suit? He brought me loads of cool stuff for christmas!

Hmmmmm.... I think I'm going to have to explain things to *my* mother at some point - this Christmas she came bouncing in at 7:30 telling me that "Father Christmas has arrived!" As this was barely 6 hours since I had gone to bed, I was not hugely impressed...


I managed to work Monty Python into one of my Ancient History essays. Was dead chuffed when the lecturer giggled when he handed it back :)

I drink to drown my sorrows. Unfortunately they've learnt how to swim.

A friend of mine used to work Dr. Who into some of her essays in High School French class. She even talked her teacher into watching the show on a day when 'City of Death' was supposed to be on.

Sadly, the station changed their minds and showed "Horns of Nimon" instead.

I'm being indoctrinated into the mighty Who at the moment - its taken 2 years (since I started going out with John). Loved City of Death - it's one of my favourites. Don't think I've seen Horns of Nimon though...

One of mine too. Naturally - Douglas Adams wrote it.

You've not missed much.

And you never will, barring accidents.

"Cooeeeee, Lord Niiiiiimooooon!!"

Well, this is fun. As if I needed another forum to help me waste time. :p
