Collegehumor has posted a vid of one of the most ridiculous lectures/lecturers I’ve ever seen. A must see. Click here.

This is absolutely hilarious.  If you like Borat, you’ll like this.

Do you have trouble taking notes?  Do you find yourself struggling to remember what your professor said when it comes time to take a midterm or a final?  Well then check out The Cornell Note-Taking Method.

LH Special Reports:

Using the Cornell method, you split your notes page into three sections:

• Notes column (right) Record the lecture here during class using short sentences and fragments that transcribe the facts you’ll need. Eliminate all unnecessary words. Use bulleted lists for easy skimming, and as much shorthand as possible (without sacrificing readability.) Develop a vocabulary of abbreviations you always use, like “ex” for “for example,” “v.” for “very,” “tho” for “though,” “1st” and “2nd” for “first and second.” See this useful list of common abbreviations that can help you get lecture points down as quickly as possible. Finally, leave lots of whitespace between points and paragraphs so you can go back and fill in sections later.
• Cues column (left) After class, review your notes and jot questions and memory joggers in this narrow column that help connect ideas listed in the notes section. When you’re studying, you will look at these cues to help you recall the salient facts in your notes, so keep that in mind when you create your cues.
• Summary area (bottom) After class while you create your cues, sum up the notes on each page in one or two sentences that encapsulate the main ideas in the bottom area. You’ll use the summary section to skim through your notes and find information later.

By using the Cornell Method, you can avoid those last minute crams getting ready for your exams.  To read more, click here.

Since this holiday is so new, not a lot has happened yet. At our last business meeting, it was spider feeding time, and important business was postponed so that College Day team could watch.
