I was sitting in class yesterday, listening to a lecture and I had an interesting question.

I usually don't say anything in this class unless it is something VERY important (unlike this forum) and there was utter silence as everyone expected the teacher to answer my question.

After a short "pause", she went right on with her subject.

WHOA!!!!
I was completely blown off, everyone was in a state of shock because my question was DIRECTLY related to our homework assignment.

Then I realized; She didn't have the faintest clue on how to answer the question....and the only way to respond was to PuNk me.....that was the low point of my day.

Your only concern was how to refrain from injecting possibly persuasive feelings out of a factual paper? That's pretty basic stuff. What is the name of your class?

Well depending on whether your lecturer is korean, i wouldn't be surprised if they were unable to answer that question. You are at a korean university right?

So how does your anecdote relate to this board specifically?

I mean if it was amusing i would have let it fly, but.....

It's an easy enough question.

Whether you support an argument or not.

Just present the facts on both sides, present research offered to prove / discount said facts. Write a conclusion based on research.

EG.

Instead of (off the top of my head) "I think Freud was a coke snorting messed up weirdo who fantasized about his Mum too much."

You could write -

Many critics of Freud cite the fact that there is no way for his theories to be measured using the empirical method. Others mention that his use of Cocaine as an anti neurotic agent had little clinical success and more often than not, lead to disasterous consequences.

Again.

Introduce the topic and contextualize it.

Three or four paragraphs (for an essay) presenting and discussing / analysing research and studies / current theory etc. A conclusion based upon the previous section.

That's it (in a nutshell.)

rawiri, I had been in Korea alittle longer than some of the new tymers (IE, when people, who had lived in Korea for 2~3 years, claim to know alot about Korea, I had already been in Korea for seven years by then)

Just keeping friends, fans and wellwishers up-to-date on things in my life.

Besides, haven't you noticed that this is in fact an Off-Topic Forum?
Aside from being posted in the General Topic Forum, where things that pertained to Korea would most definitely be posted.....

If you want to know how long I was in Korea; note that I was posting on Dave's before this format was created.... Wink

and if you were mathematically inclined, think 2006 and work your way backwards by 10 years, thats how long I was in Korea Very Happy

And Venus, thankies.....
After I was royally PuNk'D, I asked a real teacher about my dilemma and he explained in more clarity about the subject, kinda' like the way you explained it.
