[Buzz Wing]

LAKE CONDITIONS:

Water was straddling 55-57F all day, clear, with a 10'+ visibility and roaming bass. No weeds growing as of yet. Air temps sat at 55-65F for the three hours of fishing we did get in.

What were the bass caught on?

• A. 3/4 oz. Bomber Fat Free Shad, rootbeer. Cranked deep over rock piles; paused/ripped.
• B. 1/4 oz. Thunderstruck Jigs football jig, black kiwi. Fished shallow over sand and dock pilings; hopped; dragged.
• C. 5/8 oz. Booyah! Counter Strike buzzbait, Ozark Smoke. Fished fast over deep weed beds.

or....

• D. 3/4 oz. Luhr Jensen Hot Lips Express, Wedgy. Cranked at a slow pace through shallow sand bars.

Any guesses!?!

Well, since you go by "Buzz Wing", I am guessing the buzzbait.

[BigBassin144]

I'd say it's still too cold yet for Buzzie to be throwing the Buzzies. I also rules out B. because the bass here a bit more agressive now and haven't been hitting the jigs. Buzzie posted something the other day about the Luhr Hotlips, and I'm guessing Tackle Warehouse can't ship that fast so I'd say "A."

[senko]

I'm saying A

[basstech]

I've caught Bass in 52 degree water on buzzbaits, but I'm going with A.

[WTL]

Yall got about a 1 in 4 chance in getting it right, and not much better. Bassfishing isn't so scientific that there is a right answer like in a quiz, the fish just hit on what they hit most of the time. Of course if you spent your life reading bassmaster magazine and buy some of the garbage that the pro's spew from time to time (mostly to sell lures and their own brand name), you might actually believe there are right answers and wrong ones.

Then again, considering its buzz were talking about here I'm gonna guess
E.) you were skunked. Haha.

[brushhog]

I go with F -this whole quiz is a plot by some subversive anti-capitalist group to distract us all from our jobs thereby causing a sudden downshift in productivity causing a near collapse of our already fragile economy!

Or if that is not a choice, I'll go with A!

[JB]

buzzard,
Multiple choice questions belong in surveys, not tests!

I just disagree with the entire teaching philosophy that employs that kind of evaluation device. I mean, it's so out of touch with reality that it would be laughable save for the fact that almost all (if not every) post-secondary institutions (which we pay thousands of dollars to attend) use them. It reaffirms, in my mind, that the primary purpose of junior (1st and 2nd years) post-secondary institutions is to weed out students, not on learning as we see in the later years, evidenced by more critical thinking exercises and evaluation. All of this just points to the simple fact that there are simply too many students to teach, the teacher to student ratio is too high. For interest sake, I'd like to go back to the era of scholars like Aristotle and see how, and if, the teacher as mentor model could be applied to modern educational environments.

I think there is a lot of value being discovered, and yet to be discovered, in group work. For instance, to alleviate the teacher's impossible burden of marking the essays of every student in a large class of potential hundreds, students could taught how to evaluate and mark other's papers within a group. Of course, due to the volume of material covered in early post-secondary years, the papers would have to be short in length, and the questions carefully selected; perhaps they could even be varied, or self-selected from a set of choices by the student. The teacher would provide the grading rubric to the students in advance for both writing and evaluating papers. A paper would get multiple marks, one for each student in a group; the "final" mark would be an average of these. Potentially, a student could even provide a self-evaluation. As part of the marking, each student would justify the assigned grade. The author of the paper could then submit to the teacher a brief statement indicating agreement or disagreement with the final mark, citing appropriate reasons either way. The teacher, and/or TAs if available, would have the final say in the assignment of the final mark. Not only does this teach students valuable skills such as analysis, evaluation, writing, opportunities to demonstrate learning (compared to MC evaluation) but also develops social and teamwork skills. Latent secondary effects could possibly include the formation of friendships, study groups, etc, which would potentially decrease dropout rates through increased social cohesion. Additionally, this would also serve to better prepare students for subsequent years of study, and for occupational realities.

I'm positive this idea is not new. Why don't we see it, why isn't it used?

[brushhog]

Well Jb, as a 15 + yr. veteran of teaching, I could hijack this thread and take off running, but I'll be brief.. In good schools, with good teachers this has been going on for a long time - at least as long as I have beeen teaching -Cooperative/Collabortive learning has been around forever. Be careful not to cover all learning institutes with the same blanket - I can't recall a single multiple choice exam -undergrad or graduate. I wish there was. I always found them easier! And I can't remember a time when any work I have given had more than a few multiple choice questions....

Having students grade each others work is a whole other issue- I believe it has actually been in front of the courts. Privacy issues Etc...

Like any profession education has good and bad practitioners...

Anyway - I still think Buzz is part of a subversive plot to overthrow the gov't or possibly he caught fish on the Bomber.... I can't decide!

[JB]

he's an alien, thats my theory, also i blame the government

[brushhog]

Absolutely, the gov't, illegal aliens, space aliens, and ball bearings... These are all clearly part of buzzies evil plan!

Now if more kids could think like this, our society would be great. But, no, you're wrong...

Buzzie, Buzzie, Buzzie: I've learned a lot of a kids can think like this, they just choose not to. Kids these days are lazy (me included). Like once in our school we had a can drive and if your class (classes of around 100 or so(small highschool)) got 100 cans you could participate in a dodgeball game against the other grades and the winner played the faculty. Well at the end of the three weeks, our sophomore class was short about 4 cans so the freshmen donated what we needed to play to us, and we ended up winning the whole thing.

I don't know if there was a point behind this story, it's just a very ironic story.

BB

[BigBassin144]

BTW, B was my second guess. (it comes after A dontcha know!)

BB

[Buzz Wing]

We got a Minnesota boy, eh?
