using TI-89 Titatinuim to cheat

higher_energy · #1 12-20-2006, 12:43 AM

anybody tried this or have any experience with using it during exams to look up notes?
is it worth the effort to type up all the formulas?

in case you are not familiar, TI-89 titanium is basically a monster that has a ton of useful fxns but can also store notepad type files so you can load whole word documents in there and take it to the exam

is it worth it?

If your prof/TA isn't looking over your shoulder the whole time, then DO it.

No, just learn the stuff. Grades don't matter.

Physics is one thing.

I've taken...a lot...of physics classes, and almost all of them we were allowed one sheet. But math? In 7 math classes I've never been allowed a cheat sheet. That seems really cheeseball.

if the material isnt hard enough that it would take you years to memorize everything u need to take the exam, u need to go to a better school.

Why would you need a cheat sheet for that? Is that [censored] easy? Do I go to a bad school? (Hint: I don't)

LOL. Who needs notes? Just program the functions you need to do into your calculator.

<-- pwned. This is probably true... At the same time, I don't think notes are helping much in that case.
