Like.
Well, I think you need some thoughts to be expressed first to have any use for proper grammar. Grammar does not makes those thoughts. -

My position*, which still needs clarification even to myself is, Colleges and Universities should require a student to at least learn...

Averagesupernova replied to the thread Why do we spend so little time learning grammar in college?.The point is that there is a point we no longer accept the poor return on investment. We should choose to fix the problem instead of...

That's the usual reason given by teachers (who certainly are not unbiased observers), but there are reasons beyond the over-simplified...

Averagesupernova replied to the thread I'm trying to intuit how pull-up and pull-down resistors work.Do you know how to apply the results you got to determine what the voltage will be on the pin in each case?

Averagesupernova replied to the thread I'm trying to intuit how pull-up and pull-down resistors work.When the switch is closed you have a zero ohm resistor in parallel with R2. When the switch is open you have a resistor of infinite ohms...

Averagesupernova replied to the thread I'm trying to intuit how pull-up and pull-down resistors work.I really have to wonder.

Well, college administrators certainly believe that, and there is a common implication (sometimes implied, sometimes stated explicitly)...

Averagesupernova replied to the thread Why do we spend so little time learning grammar in college?.This is not necessarily agreed upon. Of course I can take it a step farther and ask for the definition of general education. - My...

Right but I think this thread is missing the forest here. If we know the problem is in elementary and high school, why are we talking...

Averagesupernova replied to the thread Why do we spend so little time learning grammar in college?.The whole thing is quite undefined. Does it matter at all? My opinion on this has been stated. If it does matter, then is it right to...

Averagesupernova replied to the thread I'm trying to intuit how pull-up and pull-down resistors work.I hate the term "army wavy" but that seems to be what you're doing. Learn some actual circuit analysis. Kirchoff's law, ohms law, etc...

Averagesupernova replied to the thread High School Analog power supply output question.Hmmm. So a bit of quick math without a schematic. Suppose you want to supply 5 volts out at 30 amps. That's within the spec right? That...
