<p>this thing is really dumb, and i already know everythiung i need to about alcohol and responsibility... i havent started, but if i just went thru kept scrolling down w/o reading would it matter?</p>
<p>in the off chance that i fail the exam , can i take it again? because if u can take it multiple times, i mean, come on, whats the incentive to acually read thru the information if you alreayd are responsible</p>
<p>I let that audio crap run for 3 hours, clicking next whenever the audio stops. In those 3 hours, I finished 2 lab reports and still passed the exam with 85% even though I barely listened. There's 3 chapters but the exam covered mostly chapterd 1 and 2. If not common sense, I just do a quick google for answers for the end-of-chapter exercise questions. The exam questions are very similar to these exercise questions.</p>
<p>Hint: Several questions are about alchohol trends. When in doubt, choose the answer that suggests the trend is getting worst. I could be wrong though, lol.</p>
<p>Ah, your school requires it too? So stupid. People will learn more about alcohol through experience than some stupid website, and that is how life should be lived anyway.</p>
<p>you can take it more than once, there's a link on the site.
like ee_stu mentioned, i was finishing a lot of other stuff and still received a 90. one hint, if you hear a statistic in the audio make a note of it for future reference, several questions wanted to know the exact percent. also, pay attention to the alcohol and your brain section.</p>
<p>i put this dumb test off for like two weeks. i let it play for a few hours, clicking when i needed to, and got a 83.</p>
<p>the only thing i remember about taking that test was how badly i wanted to drink afterwards.</p>
<p>Ohmygod AlcoholEdu took me FOREVER, especially b/c I kept trying to skip out of certain sections but then the section would just start over and I literally watched the same video clip like 5 times. It was awful. So I suggest, don't be impatient; if you're bored, just let the damn thing run and do something else.</p>
<p>my school tried to get all the freshman to take it last year, but everyone was like, "screw that bs, I'm not taking that!" so it completely fizzled out.</p>
<p>ah, yes. according to alcoholedu, I should probably be dead.</p>
<p>i HATE it with a passion.</p>
<p>just let the audio go on in the background and download music or do hw at the same time.</p>
<p>it gives people inspiration though, which i thought was hilarious. like "some students play drinking games such as..."...and 10 minutes after it was done everyone wanted to play beer pong.</p>
<p>I've never seen this site, but it sounds like a bad format. If I were the guy doing that site, I'd make it something you had to read.</p>
<p>I say this because I can't sit through lectures very well unless they are Bible related, computer related, or baseball related. It sounds like an electronic version of high school health class. When I was a lad my mom told me beer was bad, so I always just trusted her advice. When they repeated the same thing in health class that I heard in 1988 at the age of two, I just did homework or drew. Honestly, I think I did more Geometry homework in that class than I did health class work.</p>
<p>Health class needs to be revamped a bit (as does that website). The most moving thing we had in health was when a police officer came into our class and showed us a before/after picture of someone who had been hit by a drunk driver. If we could get more stuff like that on a regular basis instead of boring lectures, we could solve the underage drinking problem. Of course, it will also take willpower of the kids and the help of the parents. And even with those visuals, you have to watch for the guy who dozes off to sleep.</p>
<p>Really, if the schools want to catch alcohol knowledge, they should administer a test at orientation sort of like math and language placement tests. This way they can inform the parents of how the students did (remember, dozens of bubble sheets can be scored in a matter of minutes to provide quick results). I think a good lecture and a threat to take their kid out of school if they drink or something would be a good idea. (I know a parent who goes on Facebook all the time to see what kind of pics her daughter posts to make sure she's keeping out of trouble...I think if she ever drinks there will be a huge punishment).</p>

<p>Wow, at the University of Iowa all the students have it completed to be able to register for spring classes. I just did part of it tonight and it sucks....a lot</p>
<p>I had to do it as a Freshman thing for my school as well. Basically, if we didn't do it, or did it and never passed the test, we would have gotten an alcohol offense against our record (I believe 100 dollar fine and other rammifications if we get one, it's a pretty big anti-alcohol policy).</p>
<p>It was really unintentionally hilarious. The case study was beyond lame, although talking to a friend on IM (who still has to take it) and making sarcastic comments after each person's description was fun. The people speaking just droned on and on, and my Firefox browser semi-froze (meaning I couldn't open another window or other tabs) at least 5 times, whenever I paused the audio. I spent the second half of it reading stuff online and so on.</p>
<p>Got an 80 on the exam due to a few BS questions (alcohol does not increase your chances of getting STDs from what I've learned, it increases the chance that sex may occur, but the act, whether the people were drunk or sober when it occured, doesn't seem to mean an increase in the likelyhood of contracting a disease. Also, they tell me through the whole effing thing that time is the only thing that lowers BAC...and the answer on the exam? Time and Sweat). Yeah.</p>
<p>Really, I don't blame schools for forcing kids to do it, but it was just a time-waster for me, and they treated me like my abstainance was something special. I don't abstain from alcohol for any moral or personal reasons, I just haven't had the desire to drink, and it doesn't mean I won't drink. Cripes. Oh, and the guy they showed having fun while sober looks a LOT like my friend, great guy, very socially awkward.</p>
<p>It just got so damn boring
Survey...pictures and sound...more pictures and sound...more pictures and sound...(repeat)...case study A...pictures and sound...Exercise...Survey...Journal Writing...etc.</p>
<p>Oh well, I just have one more part to do until I'm done with this.</p>
<p>BTW, I agree on the statistics and trends part, the brain thing stunk too. You can take it multiple times if you need to.</p>
<p>my school doesn't require it, maybe because its composed of dorks and nerds.</p>
<p>hah. kidding. Absitnance is silly, not much changes between 18 and 21. I'd figure it should be te same as sex ed, better to give knowledge (knowing when you're drunk, how to do so responsibly), rather than try to scare kids who know better. Alcohol / Sex = Death tactic never really work.</p>
<p>Better to learn real information first, experience, and decide for yourself than to be told one way, then go in blind and stupid</p>
<p>Its sooo boring... i did test out of chap 2 or something by completely guessing XP</p>
<p>meh, sam....erlackkkkkkk</p>
<p>Wait, I've never heard of this. Do most schools make you take this? Sounds ****ing gay.</p>
<p>"the only thing i remember about taking that test was how badly i wanted to drink afterwards."</p>
<p>haha i can relate somewhat. oh the irony.</p>
<p>it's pretty dumb. but i did it and i got 100. go me. however i learned a bunch of stuff i'd prob be better being in ignorance about.</p>
<p>any trick questions i shud know about?</p>
<p>I'm shocked I got a 93% on the final "exam," I thought boredeom and ignorance of the whole thing would get me closer to a failure than a pass. </p>
<p>BTW, the Googled answers give about a 83%, you people that duplicate the searched answers better have switched up the responses, otherwise colleges might suspect a fraud.</p>
