Since our winter can easily go around -30,-40 most people heat up to about 24-28 in their house and Heat cost alot in Quebec (in the sense that takes alot of lolelectricity to heat water or home and all)

[archibaldcrane]

You use electricity for home heating?

[BaneTheBrawler]

not that unusual. in my apartment everything is electrical, including heating.

[Cantih]

There are people who don't want gas in their house. No 'splosions.
Hell, half the places I've lived here in LA were electric only.

Tons of homes require electricity for heat, even if its gas heating.

To everything posted above

What state do you live in Archi? Electric heat is becoming more and more popular in states with cheaper electrical costs, and places that are dependent on oil heat as opposed to gas.

It's starting in NY, but our fucking electrical costs are so high, I don't know if there would be a difference in cost. For a home owner it seems like a good deal even if you brake even. No need for an expensive ass furnace, they typically run 10-18k installed, and the maintenance associated with them.

Not need to run water lines for baseboards, etc.


I really should do a cost comparison myself, but my house is small and the heat bills with oil heat are not back breaking.... just expensive.

This was on the syllabus for one of my classes:

Homework (0%): The homework assignments are designed to help you study the material and quiz yourself on your knowledge. Working through these exercises on your own is the best way to learn, but I leave it up to you to study as much as you need to. Therefore, I do not grade the homework, but each student must participate when we review the material in class.

God bless this professor.

Use to see that all the time. Most of the time it was not a class that you could skip homework without being lost forever. Lol

[Aksannyi]

I'm one of those (annoying) people who just goes to class and never studies and still does extremely well on the tests. I'll still do the reading every week and depending on how lost I actually feel, I'll do the work but I like having the option to skip it if I don't need it. Especially with my job.

Classes start Monday and this is the only professor to put the syllabus up so I can look at it beforehand. I love school and I'm super ready to start up again.

[CoreyX]

I'm the same when it comes to never studying and always doing extremely well. In school I would be absent multiple times a week every week, never once studied in my life, never did homework, slept in class all day and passed every test with flying colors, including midterms, finals, and the highest percentiles on any standardized tests like the SATs. Sometimes I think I'm just psychic or something from how freakishly good I am at multiple choice tests especially. The answers just come to me. Eventually I dropped out because I couldn't be assed to show up anymore and I was dealing with depression etc.
8 years later I randomly took the GED on a whim without studying or anything and got 99-100% on every subject (reading, writing, science, math, and I think history)

A friend paid me once to do their entire online college course and I got them a perfect grade for the semester Once again never having studied or even having been familiar with it at all.

I'm one of those (annoying) people

yup

[Aksannyi]

[Abandon]

lol

[Quixon]

I was like that in High School. Then I got to college......

Nope.

[Dotsudoku]

Those people don't exist. People who think they are those people just haven't had any real courses.

This. I had classes with a guy last semester who thought he was one of those people. He failed English 250 - Mythology and Folklore. I laughed and made him feel even worse. The best part; I have that same class this semester, so the joke might be on me if I struggle at all.
