… men den gang ei! For der de stiller meningsløse krav til meg, vil jeg svare på en tilsvarende meningsløs måte! Bare se:

Posts filed in Education
A tag for educational moments. Kindergartens, Elementary Schools, Junior High Schools, Senior High Schools, Universities, Colleges, Free Schools, private schools, public schools, teachers, teaching, students, pupils, school houses, curriculums, exams, tests, papers, paperclips.
You name it, and if it’s even in the most obscure way related to education, and mentioned in this blog, the post it’s in’ll be tagged with this.
Muahaha, de trodde de var smartere enn meg…
I’m feeling optimistic
It is now, let’s see, a little more than 38 hours until my term paper in “Social Scientific Method” is due, and I feel I’m on course. Even though it’s only eight hours or so since I started working on it.
Because today I flipped through a couple of term papers in this course from the [...]
Oh man…
I just watched a couple of minutes of a “60 Minutes” program, where they interviewed Bill O’Reilley (or however in Hel it’s spelled). And even though the interviewer was so critical as to almost be refered to as “hostile”, and in spite of O’Reilley’s obvious vanity and arrogance, the interview managed to create some sympathy [...]
Religion? No, thank you. Marx? Yes, please.
I was just reading “The Right Nation“, a book about the rise of the American Right, and I came to a passage which said that American conservatives such as Ronald Reagan see the United States as a nation favored by God because of its democratic virtue, and those kinds of things, and that this is [...]
Oh, and…
… the “Firefly” DVD I had to order because of Loki (okay, so here’s my contribution for the “Worst Excuse of 2007 Award” ) arrived yesterday!
Which means that as soon as I’ve force-fed my sister the last couple of episodes of VM (this show really stands to be watched a second time, I’ve [...]
Nerdenes Rikskringkasting!
Okay, den andre norske posten min på ei uke. Ikke akkurat et så veldig godt tegn at det gjør noe. Men, men.
Uansett, det som denne gangen vekker min entusiasme, som NRK-patriot (jeg ser ikke på andre kanaler) er nyheten om at NRK har kjøpt inn “Heroes” og at de skal begynne å sende serien i [...]
And I thought the American Right consisted of a bunch of nutters…
… but then I actually learned some stuff about the American Left, and I started to wonderr: Maybe there’s a reason why the Right is as it is?
First some background: This last week, I’ve been reading “The Right Nation: Conservative Power In America”, written by a couple of British “Economist” journalists. This is a book [...]
“Faster Than A Speeding Bullet: The Rise of the Graphic Novel”
I read this quick little introduction to the history of graphic novels on Thursday, and I gotta say it was quite good. Naturally, I’m not too versed in the history of these things myself, but the book didn’t seem to disagree with what little I knew from earlier.
First there was a couple of chapters dealing [...]
12.11.06 — A procrastinator’s tale
In a couple of days, I have the last exam this term, and so I should be repeating stuf for it, so that I’ll stand a better chance of getting at least a C or something. However, I got a real procrastinator’s cramp today, and haven’t been able to do a single conctructive thing.
First off, [...]
Regime types and regimes change — lecture #14
Ways to classify — taxonomy.
There are many different taxonomies for regime types, and a bewildering fauna of terms is frequently used carelessly, in ways that do more to befuddle than to clearify. The choice of terms usually not neutral, as a researcher may have a theory in which some feature is more important than others, [...]
The scientific study of politics — lecture #13
Bah, I seem to have grown a conscience over the night, so I was unable to watch much more than a couple of minutes of Heroes before realising that I should rather be typing out a set of lecture notes. (But I managed to play “Championship Manager Season 97-89″ before surrendering to this crap, so [...]
An introduction to comparative politics — lecture #12
So, we’re done with the international part of the course, and it’s time to have a look at the field of comparative politics.
————————————————————————————————————————–
What is comparative politics?
As usual, we start with a definition of the term, and that is that CP is the study of politics within one or more countries — thus leaving the relationship [...]
International cooperation and international law — lecture #11
This lecture (which is the last of the IP ones, and was held on October 3, meaning that I’m insanely behind on my schedule) dealt mainly with answering the question of why cooperation exists in international relations, in light of Liberalist theories — seeing as Realists don’t really believe in cooperation — but with some [...]
I could have been elsewhere…
Today, I’d originally planned to attend a guest lecture held by Petter Eide, secretary general of the Norwegian section of Amnesty International, in which he’d speak about the conditions of human rights during this “War on terror” that seems to be going on. (By the way, how’s that going for them?) But because my dad [...]
Various understandings of “security” — lecture #10
Alright, it’s now less than a month to my first exam, and I still have some 25 lectures to type out. This means that I gotta start prioritising. Which basically means that I’ll be concentrating on the notes from my political science notes, as these are the ones requiring the most restructuring and the most [...]
Foreign policy: Goals, means and driving forces — lecture #9
Alrighty, time to leave the different theoretical apporaches to the study of international politics, and turn to the foreign policy of states.
————————————————————————————————————————–
Deinition.
Foreign policy can be defined as a government’s determined and public action aimed at its surroundings. Foreign policy refers to the content of and the relationship between foreign political goals and means, and must [...]
The collapse of the international economy in the Interwar Years — lecture #7
Damn, it’s been a month since the last time I posted the notes to a history lecture, and now I have some fifteen untouched lectures to work my way through, in addition to the approximately ten still remaining. Damn me and my cursed laziness. Anyway, here we go:
————————————————————————————————————————–
WWI represents a definite shift in world history. [...]
Back again…
I’d almost forgotten all about how much it hurts to get a partially frozen, horisontally flying snowflake driven into one’s eye with the force of a fresh breeze. So thank you for returning and reminding me, dearest King Winter.
Anyway, I’m going away for a couple of days, so there won’t be any new posts here [...]
Theories in IR: Reflectivism — lecture #8
“Reflectivism” isn’t an unitary perspective, but its various versions has in common that it can be seen as a kind of opposite to all of the other theoretical schools we’ve discussed this far. By this, we mean that the Reflectivist perspectives centers on ontological and epistemological questions not answered to a satisfactory degree by the [...]
And we’re done! :D
Two down, one to go. But that one is so ridiculously small that I don’t really see it as much of a problem. As for this one, I’m relatively happy with it, I think I managed to get it as cohesive as possible and also quite structured and, well, just assignment-answering, really.
Oh, and I got [...]
