What Does Auditing a class mean? I notice a lot on american tv programmes..?

Auditing means attending the class with the permission of the professor and/or the institution, but without being formally registered.  In other words, you don't have to take the tests, and you won't get a grade or credit for the class, but you are permitted to sit in on the lectures and class discussions. \n\nContrary to an earlier comment, auditiing does NOT mean taking the class pass/fail. It is a way of gaining knowledge from the course without having to be concerned about taking tests.\n\nGood luck!!

Because of the calendar. All classes are scheduled on the same start and end dates, and all the teachers need similar amounts of student product to measure your progress. Everything a teacher asks you to do, that is observable by them (report writing, answering questions in class, tests, etc.) is due to the teacher having to actually have visible proof that you are gaining the skills/knowledge being taught in the class to determine whether you are passing the class. The teacher has to be able to show that proof to school administrators, and more importantly, your parents, to show that you are gaining the course requirements. The teacher CANNOT give you a passing grade if the teacher does not have concrete proof of your increased ability. That proof must happen on a set schedule. Therefore, classes meeting on the same calendar dates for the same number of days, will have reports due pretty much at the same time. Live with it.

Anything you see is going to be pure speculation no matter what the links may be.  College grades are considered to be confidential.  If they aren't signed, on official university/college stationery by the registrar and don't have the official seal - they can't be real.    But, its fun to speculate since he's such an idiot and acts and talks like a moron.

Auditing simply means that when some one cheks the system with the standards. In company auditing means that when a team of professional take out a perodical survey about the different activities going on in a company to measure the performance of the efficiency. \n\nFor Example if an XYZ company has a manufacturing plant. Then during auditing various aspects of that plant wil be examined and made sure that they work according to the company's standard.

In real life, you get both...letters and numbers.  I would assume that the tv show grades aren't actually real (duh) so it is easier to just slap a big fat A or F on a paper than worry about 87% being a B+ or whatever.

It says a lot of different things - if you have the different seasons on dvd, you can view frame by frame and see it. One thing it's said in the past tho (and metioned on the show, too) was "NRA4EVER". \n\nBut just like the couch gag & the chalk board, it's different each time. :o)

it is an audit with the purpose of discovering what (normally) went wrong. Usually to explain and quantify the extent of malfeasance, and normally undertaken where there is a high suspicion or basic proof of wrongdoing

No.  They check them at random unless somthing is glaring at them.  Like giving more money to charity than the average guy.  That's how my bro got audited. But he had all his receipts so he was cool.

in some of your low level college classes the classroom size is huge.  Teachers don't want to call out all the names so they pass around an attendance sheet.  You get a friend in that class and you guys alternate days of going to class the one who goes signs your name to the list in different ink and not right after their name all the time

There are many reasons for this.  First of all,  is your teacher a native English speaker?  If not, s/he may make the same pronunciation errors as you do.  Also, an ESL teacher modifies his/her speech patterns (speed, choice of vocabulary) to suit the level in the classroom.  When you are with the same teacher for a while, you also get used to their speech, so it is easier to understand them.  The other difficulty with understanding TV/Radio is that you do not have the same visual contact and body language clues that you may get in person.  Finally there is distortion with the radio/tv.  Still, listening to the radio/tv IS an excellent choice for helping to learn a new language.  As others have mentioned, you will be exposed to idiomatic expressions as well as different voices, accents.  Eventually, you WILL understand what is being said!

Yes I agree. I'm in a computer class (duh!) and my teacher likes to lecture on and on and on about absolutely nothing. As soon as she starts talking, I try to check my e-mail. My grade in this class is good, but with all the lecturing, I might as well just see my way through the door. which is just in front of me. lol. I have to stay in this class from 8:10 all the way to 9:35 (but since it's a club meeting day it's now to 9:55!) and we have to read books! school policy to help students reading abilities to blah blah blah blah! who cares! absolutely no one (student wise) you'd have to be a true teacher's pet to want to sit through all that. So, did you get my point? lol

Why don't you audit a Latin class at a local university? Latin grammar is very complex and hard to learn on your own.\n\nHowever, if you want a good Latin text, Wheelock's Latin is the ones most university Latin professors teach from.

Nope--I'm older than you and am taking classes. I think that because we are older, we take the classes more seriously. I'm surprised by how easy it has been so far. I grasp it quicker than the other students seem to. Of course, they are busy partying during their off time while I am working full time and taking care of a house and family! Absolutely do it!

It's called tenure and teachers also have to go through a performance review by their supervisors, other teachers, and students.  It is still in effect to my knowledge, mostly at colleges and universities.

Don't cheat, Taking a class is about LEARNING, not getting the grade you want...
