Oh, nevermind. I see that you have already tried the program.

That’s cool stuff. If you want to create more fractals, you should try a program called Apophysis.

Is there anyway I could view the source code to asdf-OS? I recently got into OS development and I would love to see the source of one

Hi, I would like to know what emulator you are using. Video refresh seems fluid, are you using some kind of acceleration?
Thanks,
Gonzalo

Oh and just to continue on to the last post I made.. I was just thinking that you shouldn’t suggest trying to make the people who do poorly in 10 Academic take 11C instead of U.. choosing a college math course can definitely limit the amount of career opportunities.. and that can be very damaging to the student’s life ahead of them. There is always time for improvement and those students, if they’re very serious about the math course, will try to improve and do better than they did in Grade 10 (where they probably slacked off).

I just think they should let the students take the courses they want, even if that means taking the AP courses.. they shouldn’t shut down any AP courses at the school

I was just reading the website Frederick had put up about the same topic.. and I was just thinking that your reasons on ‘Why you should oppose it’ aren’t very reasonable.. First of all.. competition isn’t that much of a factor in picking a course. Someone wouldn’t not pick a course just cause it has a lot of smart people in it.. and just cause it does a have a lot of smart people, who cares? Competition isn’t everything.. For many people, they just want to take the course and get a good mark, not caring waht the people around them get..

And that other reason.. your average will be lower compared to the class average? Another thing about competition.. who cares? It’s not like it’s competition when applying to univerisity.. I dont’ think those two reasons will make that much of a difference to the students taking 10 Applied/Academic.. not everyone cares about beating other people in marks

I agree with Matt. SOME people are complaining way too much.

“Alvin would never have trash talked our principal unless it had personally affected him. if it did, then he’s probably a bit emotional as he posts these things.”

…Right.

Either way, this doesn’t personally affect me since I’m taking MCR3U2 right now.

Unfortunately, it is illogical for anyone to completely trust all the decisions made by authoritative figures. Of course “there is a reason they are doing this”… and as for the drop in averages in the long run, I’m not so sure they’re taking that into consideration.

stop thinking about yourselves, stop thinking about how this will affect you

Why? Why is that necessary? Self-interest is in any case a motivating factor. Perhaps the higher-level courses taken at high school are far more valuable to some people than to others.

You’re not always right. Administration however… unfortunately IS.

No one is always right, nor is administration. “Until proven wrong”? We’ll aim for that.

In any case, the first step is to list all the people actually taking MCR3U2 next year (not here, not in public) so we can get a good sense of the real demand for the course.
