We are doing Time Value of Money in Accounting which I did a long while ago I believe. There are special tables to help you find the present value (or future value) of amounts paid considering interest or inflation. The table has you go down the number of "periods" (could be years, months, etc) and then the inflation rate. You will get a value from which you can calculate the present value of a function. (This can be easily done in Excel, which I am terrible at). That is, if you wanna find what 10 dollars is worth in 5 years and the inflation or interest rate is 6%, the formula would be Future Value=Present Value(FVF)=10(1+.06)^5=10(1.33823). That 1.33823 can be found on the table by going to 6 percent then down to 5 periods (or vice versa depending on the table)

I'm waiting to see if my favorite teacher is gonna get some extra credit from me. Last time she took down Respondus Lockdown Browser for us.

She is nice

Though I did TOO well I think. She is technically an ASSISTANT Professor. Idk what that means. So she may get in trouble with whoever she is "assisting", idk. But it was obvious I used online recourses. EVERYONE does. Unless you are a genius (and dont get me wrong there is an accounting genius in my accounting class, younger than me and way better: he took Accounting Info Systems already and that scares me. It involves Excel. He isnt in THAT class though, just my accounting class). I am just better at it than they are....Professors purposely put the wrong or slightly different questions and answers to deter people from benefiting off Quizlet. Yeah, I see when you leave one word out or change it to "NOT" or something. I got a 70/70 and that looks a BIT suspicious.

FYI: it doesn't mean she is 'assisting' anyone. There is a hierarchy of professor as they start/get promoted/get tenure. It can vary slightly, but it typically goes: adjunct professor (contract basis only, no permanent standing), assistant professor (new/untenured), associate professor (tenured), and full professor (simply titled 'Professor') is someone who has held his position with distinction for a long time.
In other words, as long as she does her job and fulfills the requirements for tenure she should get promoted to associate within 4-7 years of whenever she was hired (it will vary on institution).

Aye. I'm not that familiar with the particulars, but I do know something like that is The System. There's currently some drama in CA unis, re: pay raises, benefits, and the over-reliance on underpaid, unprotected adjuncts. Seems like every industry is trying to get fulltime work out of employees with gig worker benefits and job security. I don't think the recent state laws in CA are the right solution, especially given that they're riddled with exemptions for this or that industry. But I understand trying to address the issue through law.

Some universities, on the other hand, are culling adjuncts almost entirely (which is rough on those who rely on them while looking for a tenure-track position).

She took down the CAMERA requirement after my 3rd attempt (so I could use my phone). Meaning I wouldve gotten a C on the exam if I wouldnt have tried 3 times.

On my other exam. I got 94/100 on multiple choice and wrote some essays on the 4th amendment before realizing it said "brief" (explaining why, for instance, Messenger invading your privacy could hot be protected constitutionally, not that the question asked that). THAT professor knew I cheated last time because I accidentally implied it right in front of him (He is young so I just sort of feel more comfortable saying things I would usually be quiet about...I mentioned how I was upset about Respondus Lockdown Browser to this kid next to me. The teacher sort of joined the conversation and I said "Sometimes I'll look up the formula or something but not like the....answer key [lie]". He said "okay" after I said "Dont worry". I am not a good liar. But I think he made me a personalized exam. When discussing his first exam, he said "You did pretty well though didnt you?" After I said I used all the time and didn't get to the 2nd written bonus question. And I said yes, because I got 101/100. He said "Okay because I write my own exams". The thing is that is sort of a lie, because I found the answers online. They mayve been altered slightly the FIRST time. This time, he actually did make up a few questions and altered Quizlet questions to trick us. I gave him a tip I shouldnt ("Other professors sometimes use Quizlet questions to see who is cheating...I learned my lesson [I did: now I make sure theyre right] on Quizlet. I got a 4/10 on a quiz in another class using that")

But I noticed he started my exam towards the BOTTOM (Where all the bonus questions are): like, youre gonna want to get to these bonus questions. And some of the answers were "patents" and "equity" (this is not accounting related class) as he knows I am an accounting major (He told me I am a great writer when I wrote my "personal marketing plan" on becoming an accountant). Sort of, you dont even know what patents or equity is? Most of the answers were NOT on Quizlet but sites such as "Nerdherd" this time

I have also had some recent slight issues of the same nature as your short answer troubles. I have written short answers that ended up 2-5x longer than the recommended maximum, haha.

Did any of you see the eclipse? In my area it got sort of shaded in a weird way, but not darkness.

No, not me, the path complete shadow didn't cross California. Didn't come near us at all, actually.

Yes, drove out into rural Illinois actually (otherwise it was 99% where I live). Was a great time as we got to see a historical site, had no traffic problems, and it was a first for my wife who did not have any expectations about it because she didn't let the media ruin it for her.

Your WIFE? Time moves faster as I age its weird.

My friend went to Southern IL and saw the entire thing, fully. My area of IL was a weird shade. But not the type youd think of as the almost-light/almost-dark periods in the morning and evening.

"In morte Sumus"

We are in death?

I need to go back to Latin class.

"Sumus in ordine mortis"

"We are on death row [row of death]"

What about this?

I had to look up "ordo" (class, rank, row)

My Turkish professor is so hot. I'm gonna see her today.

After my FB account was hacked, I got spammed with quotes like "A high degree of intellect tends to make a man unsocial" and "All are lunatics; he who can analyze his delusions is called a philosopher". They poured through those messages. They also had a bunch of autism related posts it was weird. I told her over Messenger I was diagnosed with autism, "psychotic disorder" (lunatics quote), and "manic depression" (which I think is just bipolar).

That will only get worse, haven't you ever heard the country song 'Don't Blink'? And I've been married for years now, have our own house, expecting our first child soon.

My accounting professor is a douche. I found some accounting mistakes in his problems I think. I couldnt balance his bank reconciliation and he added wrong on our "petty cash" problem I think. "Petty cash" is like miscelaneous cash (office partiesand stuff) taken out of the Cash account ("big cash"). I THINK it just didnt make sense to me because I added the "receipts" myself and got 108 not 106 like he got. So I said yes, the petty cash fund needs to be replenished because somehow he got a different number. I said it should be replenished by 2 dollars however. I think it was supposed to be the entire fund we replenish though thinking back on it (and embarrassingly I didnt know how to put that in a JOURNAL ENTRY: I could say it needs to be replenished by an amount). We somehow used up more petty cash than what was in the fund. It is kind of embarassing because the petty cash problem was supposed to be the easy one.

When he saw my graphing calculator at the end before I left (9:30 pm, last person to leave the room) after I asked if he made a mistake on the petty cash problem ("NO the right amount is whats on there". Nope, I think I just caught 2 of your accounting mistakes....), and I think he realized I might be right. He needs to get a calculator. Its a little frustrating when your accounting teacher makes a million accounting mistakes. It seems like he is trying to mislead me sometimes.

I reccomend you send an embassy request to the Union of Christian Nations.

Ah, but we don't meet their embassy requirements. Unless they no longer abide by the ones they have listed, or have some kind of general amnesty that I'm not aware of.

Just to make sure we're keeping up with the RMB, I plan to update the Law Codex soonish.

Hello guys.

I got in a big argument with one of my teammates in Principles of Marketing class. He accused me of plagiarism ("You need to rewrite large portions of Section 2 as they were plagiarized..." according to Bartleby is what the kid told me), and it pissed the hell out of me.

"Hi Jacob,

Thank you for sending me this information. I am slightly confused about how your group members are using Grammarly to see certain sections of your paper that they feel you plagiarized. Did they show you directly what sections they identified as plagiarized?

Overall, Grammarly is an AI tool to help students improve their writing, which can be picked up as AI-generated content if students use Grammarly to write their papers. However, I would caution against using Grammarly because tools like Copyleaks and Turnitin will potentially flag when students use Grammarly to aid in writing their papers. In short, the 82/100 overall score you see below shows how well this was written rather than how much of the paper is plagiarized. For example, if you used Grammarly to improve your parts so far, that score of 82 would only get higher as it nears 100, indicating that your writing is improving.

When I scanned your part below in Grammarly, it told me that only 3% of the information was plagiarized material. However, it flagged a sentence you directly quoted and cited. As a result, I won’t penalize students for plagiarism if their information is cited appropriately. "

-----------------------
I emailed him with that group member's accusation immediately because it pissed me off so much, and he told me to send him the portion of the essay that I was accused of plagiarizing.
In other words, does this mean THEY actually cheated by using Grammarly during THEIR portions of the essay. The kid who accused me of that has done nothing but going through and acting like he is doing work (desperately searching for errors, and he failed).

They are just angry I am a better writer than them. I have to go through and fix minor grammar errors in "their" (one of the kids who wants to allow the other to do nothing) portions.

*This is not how I usually write. The reason a lot of my RMB posts have informal language is because I cant feel the keyboard (I have been doing it on my phone a lot unlike back in the day when I didnt have a smartphone). For simple stuff like RMB posts and telegrams, I usually just use my phone.

Summer break is almost here. I promise I will become more active.
