Man it’s a good thing jobs ban cell phones too, in case one of the employees tries to cheat

palonewabone
F this rectangle! Give me back my vinyl!
jenw
The best part is, he's playing college dropout. I love it
McGreed
Modern problem requires... old solutions?
palonewabone
Came here for this comment. Good work!
BBgunz
Play it backwards for the answers
TigerThong
Kanye.... poor bastard

spacechicken1993
MP3 players are still a thing. Dying, but still a thing.
bbueller
Recorded formulae with a phonograph
Knifeywifey
This is why I played classical forbly students when they tested or worked independently. They would ask for it if I forgot to put it on!
Rotsteinblock
am I the only one less concerned about the music and more about the folders standing up on the desks
DarthDrizzt42
There's always that one kid that still thinks they're ferris bueller
apLundell
Hey, It's called a "Portable Record Player". They're not joking about that.
RussellMcBride
going through all that trouble and then listening to Kanye
NoxurnalGaming
First read the guys name as "sour cracker"
Snotty128
What’s with the empty folders in front of them? To stop cheating?
IDidntDoIt
Damn I haven't seen that shit since elementary school.
ImKimJongUnAndEverythingIsFine
They're DM screens. This is D&D school.
xVVitch
Thats exactly it. My school had cardboard dividers to put up.
TheGreatCO
Plot twist, cheat sheet on the inside of the lid.
skeletalfury
I mean most of the physics classes I took allowed some sort of equation sheet. You just had to turn it in w/ the exam.
TheDarkNerd
Plot twist, hidden switch that switched to an MP3 player hidden in the casing.
Billybologna
Plot plot twist, he pressed his own vinyl with all the answers
DeltaBladeX
And made it out of wood glue
barnwolf
Plot twist. Kanye is actually a genius and if you know the right code you can decrypt his music to concisely summarize all of physics.
ratcamper
I was going to say he had a one off cheat vinyl cut.
prophet002
Exactly. Physics students be like that.
jadespider
Twist Plot Plot: he pressed it so that you only hear the answers when you play it backwards.
Blud4BludGod
But still to the tune and beat of Kanye songs, he just recorded himself rapping the answers over a karaoke version of "Graduation"
Phischstaebchen
but despite the headphones you still can hear what is playing very lightly near the recordplayer.... welcome to the real world :)
Imjustborrowingit
Plot plot plot twist! he did all that and picked up the wrong album this morning and is indeed listening to Kanye!
WhichIsIt
Doubly screwed
TheGreatCO
Epic nerd right there. My people. But then, probably wouldn’t need to cheat in that case.
ThreeDogeMoon69
Because pressing vinyl and passing a physics exam are equivalent.
DefinitelyNotMadeOfBees
You can be smart at one thing and still be an idiot at most others. Evidence: every smart person ever.
AzothTheGuildRat
Smart - bringing a record player to listen to music. Idiot - listening to Kanye.
gtmiller
Yeah, but to do that would require a basic understanding of acoustics and physics.
OtterlyMagnificent
No but seriously. Give me a bucket of random parts and I can make a functional drone in a matter of hours, but I couldn't tell you where1/
woopwooppulloverdatasstoofat
just about everything in modern life requires basic understanding of physics. doesn't mean everyone can derive & solve the problems
DefinitelyNotMadeOfBees
...or you could just order one online? I'm sure someone makes custom vinyls
DoomeD2Walk
Still not music…
4headBruhMoments
Because modern music on a record player sounds like shit or... What?
salsaconlime
Boiii that's The College Dropout, arguably one of the best hip-hop albums to ever be released. Have a listen if you have not, it's great!
salsaconlime
At least I think so lol
BadamWarlock
You're correct! Basically the most influential rap album of the modern era.
YourMomsNewBoyfriend
His first three albums are incredible and the rest are at least worth a listen. So much uninformed hate.
[deleted]
[deleted]
DoomeD2Walk
You mean a genre where they play their instruments , write their own songs and sing live? Yeah sure.
YourMomsNewBoyfriend
I’m a huge metal and Kanye fan. Apples to oranges. Pure shred versus oldies inspired hip hop. No point in comparison.
TigerThong
metal is a pure artform. they dont do it for money or fame or women and it requires more training than a lot of other formats(kanye).
TigerThong
Kanye is in it for his own ego/money. which is shameful to the art.
GrowingDownward
You realize Kanye can play every instrument in a metal band and has composed his own symphonies with a live orchestra?
TigerThong
i doubt he could play metal sure he could play the guitar but he'd need to practice to play metal. would like proof of symphony writing
GrowingDownward
Runaway the full version features a live orchestra that Kanye conducted.

True it is music, doesn't mean it isn't regurgitated dog shit though
TigerThong
when you're right you're right
ArmouredWombat
Lots of Kanye fans here it seems...
4headBruhMoments
No just rap. Kanye's a fuckin bitch
YourMomsNewBoyfriend
I mean, by definition music. Your personal taste doesn’t define culture, as mind blowing as that may be.
Dongskanker
What?! How dare you insult my fragile ego!
ilostmyoldacccauseofwaterdamage
A lot of new albums are on vinyl

scabbyBoner
What’s the joke?
jaboiLD
When ya hear a joke 400,000 times it gets a little bit....not funny
YourMomsNewBoyfriend
Thank you. This one is up there with SpOrTsBaLl

jaboiLD
I’m just sayin I don’t find it funny anymore myself. Not saying no one else can
YourMomsNewBoyfriend
Cause it’s recycled and not funny?
Diggitydigdigs
Why would a teacher allow someone to listen to music during exams, and second, why would someone want that distraction?
internetmexican
I absolutely can not work in dead silence
derju
I often listen to piano music while studying, helps with concentration
AFistfulOfDollHairs
Maybe they have tinnitus and need something to drown it out. Like in baby driver
maststick
I’d write my essays and all my revision to dirty dubstep at uni. It was the only thing that would occupy the distracting parts of my brain
SlightlyDodgy
I use music as an aid to focus. I don't necessarily listen as such but it's a good way to force external stimuli out
vernel90
Used to fall asleep with the radio on & I listen to gaming soundtracks while I work. Gets me extremely calm and focused.
malbec
Good background music drowns out distracting noises
Lulabel73
Yep so annoying to the other people. You can still hear records without a speaker.
DavidBrooker
I'm a prof. If someone needs music during an exam, you can do that at the accessibility office. I'm not trained for this. Or trained at all.
Snooj
Lofi beats, man.
MargaretAtwood
Proven to help recall if the same music
kraeftig
Music can trigger visual memories for me, and sometimes I can also recall the physical sensations of what I was doing (like muscle movements
thrain5
My question is how anyone could concentrate with Kanye......... anywhere.
BoogiewoogstopherRobespierre
If you listen to the same music as when you study, it actually helps link that part of the brain and helps you remember things
TheToastyCat101
I get terrible anxiety in quite work places. It stresses me and music helps dampen it.
swatz
I listen to music while doing my accounting work. I get distracted easily, the music helps the numbers stop spinning and I can focus easier<
swatz
>. It's hard to describe, but it's background noise more than anything, like having the TV on while I do something, but not watching it.
CuteKittenMonster
I listen to music while i study , because i can tune out everyone else in the room and the musik makes me happy
DiscoPhysicist
When I took my PhD written exam in physics, I studied to the same playlist I used during the exam.
techpariah
My productivity goes up 300% while listening to electronica.
KillerTofu615
fastest tests I've ever taken were with either disturbed or rammstein blaring in my ears. Prof allowed it if he saw and listenened to the cd
Eldibs
I always found it helpful to keep from falling asleep.
planetfinder
I'm a prof. I let my students listen to music during exams. You can't record how to do a physics problem that you don't know is coming.
PhantomGeek
If you'd genuinely would like to know, PM and I'll give you some insights. Interesting stuff, imo
lifeofellen
We're allowed headphones or ear plugs to block noise
Spooner1
I always worked better with some beat in my ears. Even the radio in the room is better than nothing. My tinnitus is way more distracting
BojackTheHorsemanDontActLikeYouDontKnow
betterave
Have you tried that drumming on your head trick ?
betterave
Some people (with ADHD, or not) find it helps them concentrate.
DarthKratos
Like me
MrMcFartington
Helps concentration for sure. Also try Sumatriptan. It's done wonders for me in my 30s.
HDArrowsmith
ADHD here, and i can't focus on any given thing without at least two sets of stimuli, 3 if i really need to buckle down (usually youtube)
MyleKeville
Not ADHD, but I can’t work without some type of background sounds.
failedtodelete
If I'm stressed, any kind of background sounds just piss me off. Unless I can control it. Music is backgroun noise that I can control
failedtodelete
still wouldn't do this in an exam, though.
failedtodelete
But for studying, if I'm in the library, I have to because people are so randomly loud.
yessrobots
I have ADHD and need to listen to something to even get myself out the door in morning. Also listen to music all day at work to focus.

Bioman998
Might get a note from a phychiatrist that it will boost your productivity.
Incognito39
That would kill me, on my feet and moving all day (assembly) but if I can't listen to anything there's no way I'd make it each day.
TheUnsolicitedDuckPic
I can't read long lengths of text (aka textbook esq readings) without background noise like classical music in the background
trikucian
Definitely does for me
Stenosa83
Even without ADHD or other attention deficits
swatz
Yeah I listen to music or something almost all day. It helps me focus on my spreadsheets , otherwise it feels like the numbers are spinning.
DarthKratos
I use podcasts, it helps me a lot specially boring ones.
swatz
HAha.. well I can't do anything that needs my attention though. I listen to audio books on my commute, but I can't while working cause I <
swatz
>don't pay attention to the words, or it draws me off my focus. I get what you mean about boring podcasts, might work as well as I don't <
bomboy23
You listen to the record? Because maybe it's just the ebook version of the textbook
PaulCline
vBook
DavidAndrews
I feel like you're probably not old enough to have experienced records in their prime based on this suggestion, Am I right?
Ultratoxic
Narrator better talk fast, data capacity of an LP probably isn't great
Madmooch
100 records later
JMensch
Wouldn't be super helpful unless the test works through the book in sequence.
bomboy23
Just gotta do some dj record spinning to the right spot
maninthedarkness
*scratch* I said I said eh eh eh the water is a fluid uhuhuh uh
Ryebread91
Did you never make a folder fort on your desk?
ManateemSix
Easier is to embed a small mp3 player in the body of the record player, with hot swapped output in case teach wanted to listen
ManateemSix
Then your mp3 player can be loaded with whatever
spiderqueendemon
If one of my history students did that, I'd flunk them. One of my technology kids, gold star and a pizza.
namAehT
It would be pretty impressive to get an ebook pressed into vinyl.
maninthedarkness
Not hard at all. Just a bit pricey, but not extremely so.
WaffleSci
at some point the student should just get away with it, I feel like learning how to press vinyl should automatically pass.
Obsidianpick9999
IDK, I would like to know my doctor didn’t pass their final exam because they knew how to make an outdated form of media
IRememberMyFirstBeer
True, but you can rig the headphone jack to be just sending a digital signal attached to an ipod.
GatoMamalon
There are websites that let you put any audio on a vynil
alsoAzrael
So you think the student recorded himself reading the entire section, made it into a record, and is now listening to it to cheat?
DeputyWhiskers
At that point just study
Bioman998
It is studying. The effort requires you to be exposed to the material, and a fair amount of it gets remembered as a result.
alsoAzrael
Shit, he already did when he read the entire book or section of the book out loud.
HarryDresdenIsMySpiritAnimal
If he went to that much effort, let the motherfucker cheat, I say.
