Paano Pumasa ng Di Nag-aaral


Mahirap mag-aral diba? Ang post na ito ay tungkol sa iba't ibang techniques sa pag-chi-cheat kapag exams, quizzes, seatworks, assignments, groupworks, researchworks, at pati na rin teacher's evaluations! Hindi ko intensyon na ibuking ang mga kalokohan ng mga estudyante, dahil maski ako ay naging estudyante din at mag-eenroll ulit.  Gusto ko lang ay ma-i-share ang aking mga natutunan sa kolehyo.

Mas maliit na sulat, mas ok para mas madaming maisulat.
Una sa lahat nang mga cheating techniques na yan ay ang pinaka-desperate move sa lahat: ang pagsusulat sa arm-chair o kaya naman ay sa mesa. Bakit nga ba ito naging desperate move? Well, dahil ito ang ginagawa ng mga estudyanteng hindi nakapag-review dahil hindi alam na may quiz/exam, o sadyang hindi lang talaga nag-aral. kaya ang unang ginagawa ay mag-alibi. Syempre ay dahil nga hindi nakapag-reivew ay magsusulat nalang ng kung anu-anu sa arm-chair. Pwedeng isulat ang mga formulas, enumerations at kahit mga drawings/diagrams ay isinusulat din! Ang nakaka-amazed sa lahat ay sobrang bilis gumawa ng kudigo and mga estudyante! Expert na eh.

Pangalawang technique ay ang pinaka-classic sa lahat, ang papel. Lahat na ng pwedeng isulat sa katiting na papel ay inilalagay. Sa sobrang liit ng papel ay dapat ang pagkasulat mo ay dapat maliliit din para mapagkasya lahat kudigo. May mga estudyante pa nga na pinagpupuyatan talaga ang paggawa nito. Kung nag-aral nalang sana sila diba? Syempre kapag exams na ay nakalagay muna sa bulsa kuno. Kapag medyo inaantok-antok na yong instructor o kaya naman ay ‘di na nakatingin, dun na maglalabasan ng mga kudigs! Syempre, kapag ito ang ginamit na technique ay talagang delikado. Kapag nagkahulihan ay sure deads na. Pero kung mahilig kayo sa suspense, ito ang gamitin.

Ang pangatlo ay ang pagpapa-"reduce". Oo, papaliitin ang photocopied notes. Ito naman ay madalas gamitin ng mga "nth-take" na ang subject. Sa pamamagitan ng mga "old-notes". Kung napunta ka ulit sa mga past instructors mo, ang saya! May mga instructors kasi na tamad. Kaya imbes na gumawa ng bagong exams or quizzes, yung dating exams nalang ang ginagamit ulit. Kung anong binigay last sem, asahan mong next sem yung padin! Kaya nga yung may mga old notes ay pinapa-reduce nalang yung mga binigay dati dahil minsan eh shina-shuffe lang ang mga questions.

Pang-apat ay ang paggamit ng cellphones. May dalawang klase dito.
    a. INTERNET
Salamat sa mga technologal advancements ngayon, posible nang gamitin ang internet sa pagtsi-cheat sa sckool! Kapag may internet yang selpon mo (lahat naman siguro ng cellphone ngayon ay may internet na), i-type mo lang kung anu yung mga questions sa quiz at ayon, bingo na agad! Medyo delikado din ang technique na ito kasi malaki ang selphon. Ang karaniwang ginagawa ng mga estudyante ay iniipit ito sa kanilang mga hita. Kunwa-kunwari ay nagsasagot ng questioners, yun pala ay nagri-research na ng mga sagot sa internet! May mga cellphone apps pa nga diyan na pwedeng mag free internet eh. Sobrang astig at helpful talaga ang internet.
     b. DOCUMENT VIEWER
May mga ibang cellphones na ngayon (kung ‘di man lahat) ay meron ng document viewers. Sa ibang sabi, meron na itong word editor, powerpoint, excel, etc. Ginagamit ng mga may high-tech na cp's ito. Lahat ng reviewers nila ay nakalagay na sa cellphone, yung iba ay nag-en-encode pa talaga ng kudigo. Kapag may di ka alam na sagot, syempre ilabas lang ang phone (dapat naka-open na yung file mo), tapos "Ctrl F (for find)" tapos type mo na yung keyword sa questions at bingo may sagot ka na!

Extreme cheating.
Ang panglima ay ang paggamit ng katawan. Ibig kong sabihin, ginagamit ang katawan para magcheat. Sinusulatan ang mga kamay,palad,paa,legs, tiyan, damit, pantalon, at pati sapatos! Ito naman talaga ay tinatawag na "art".hehe. Kung pwede nga lang na naka-body paint kang pumasok sa school why not diba? Actually, hindi ito advisable gawin. Dahil kapag nagpawis ka, nako burado ang kudigs mo!

Next ay ang paggamit ng mp3. Nasubukan ko na ito noon at madali lang itong gawi. Lahat ng lessons tungkol sa exam nyo ay irecord mo lang. Kahit nga mga biruan sa klase pwede eh. During exams i-auto-play mo lang ito at take note, wag kalimutang i-set sa repeat mode. Para di tumigil ang pag play ng reviewers mo. hehe. Well, siguro nga mahirap din gawin ito. Pero masaya din naman, isipin mo nalang may lesson kayo habang nag-e-exam.

Syempre hindi mawawala sa pag-chi-cheat yung mga 360 degrees na mala microscopic eyes. Style dito ay tumabi ka sa matalino na nagpapakopya. Karamihan kasi sa mga matatalino sa klase ay hindi talaga nagpapakopya. hmp. Anyway, pwede ka din tumabi sa mga kaibigan mong mapagbigay. Sharing of information naman eh. Pero masakit sa mata ito. Sasakit na nga ulo mo sa mahirap na exam, pagkatapos ng exam duling ka pa!

Madami pang mga styles diyan kaya lang wala na akong maisip na iba. Ika na nila, "It is better to cheat than to repeat!" hehe. Tama nga naman. Pero dapat ay nag-aaral din. Para sa mga estudyante, kahit anu pa ang gawin mo para pumasa, ang importante ay may natutunan ka. Para naman sa mga instructors, wag naman po sanang puro out of this world ang mga pinapa-quiz nyo. Minsan naman yung medyo madali, gaya ng 1+1. Hehe.

Ang mga nabanggit na techniques ay hindi garantisadong gagana. Depende rin yan sa sitwasyon. Ito ay mga alternatibong paraan laman. Pag-aaral ang atupagin. J

The Best Gifts To Give On An Anniversary

For a lot of couples out there, anniversaries are one of the most important and memorable events there are. That is why most couples celebrate it no matter what. Besides, it's just once a year so there is no harm in celebrating it.

But anniversaries are not as simple as it may sound. It takes a lot of preparation, physically, emotionally and psychologically. You need to be at your very best for your partner, right? And when we talk about anniversaries, gifts will always be discussed. Any celebration becomes more memorable if you have something that would remind you of it. A souvenir that you would always treasure for all your life.

The best gift to give depends on your partner's interest, personalities and so on. In short, the gift that you should be giving is all about her or him. If your partner loves music, you may consider asking her on a concert of her choice. Say your partner is into romantic stuffs, you can give him or her something romantic like flowers, chocolates and so on. Make sure the gift that you are giving is something your partner would really appreciate. If you don't have any idea on what to give on an anniversary, here are some few tips that you may want to consider.

1. Give something fancy. If your girlfriend or wife loves to wear jewelries, then give her jewelries. Say bond rings for both of you. A necklace, a ring, a bracelet, or a watch. Or give your guy a new watch too. In this way, you can see him wear everyday what you have given.

2. Give something your partner is interested into. Say your guy plays a guitar, you can give him a new guitar. Or if your girlfriend is a loves shopping, give her a new pair or shoes. Or better yet, shop for whatever she wants. She'll definitely enjoy shopping with you.

3. Give something your partner needs. Always consider what he or she already owns. You wouldn't want to get disappointed just by giving something he or she already has. If your guy already has an Xbox or Wii, just give him a new game DVD. Or if your girl has a huge collection of bags, make sure the one you are giving is not something she already has.

4. Give something priceless. Treat your partner into a fancy restaurant or a romantic concert or a trip/vacation someplace else. Give something that both of you can really enjoy.
