This doesn't make me feel any better. In the 90s, I was already out of Uni and into the workplace.
Let them try an 80s class then ! We barely had access to printers!

@CleoQc Ha! I can hear the dot matrix spitting out student papers.

As a historian, I could really roll with this. I'm tempted to say, "sure, we could do the 90s, but that's pretty tame. Let's try the 1710s."

I'm not sure what students would object to the most - the canings, or the Latin...

@brian_gettler "90s style" aka how we did everything until someone decided it was more important for students to have corporate products than it was to learn anything.

@alessandro @brian_gettler
Was there still caning at university level? Or was just duelling?

[cleoqc@cosocial.ca]

@brian_gettler ah the sweet sound of a dot matrix.... And the paper jam when the little feeder wheels would tear up the sidebands...

You know, I just remembered the smell of the stencil duplicator sheets we were getting in high school...
Loved that smell!
