Well, you won't have lab experiences, but there should be guest lecturers, exposure to museums, it all depends on what direction you choose in fine arts. It's not shop or cosmetology.

1. in

2. carried out in...
run in.....
offered in.....
given in....


...carried out in the same way as on other courses.

THank you~

Is
-carried out in the same way as on...

the ellipted form of

-...the same way as classes are run etc, on other courses

?

Yes. (although I'm not sure what "ellipted" means)

examples:

I behaved the same way this week as on previous weeks.

As on previous occasions, I went to the bar for a drink before the concert.

The "question" was an example to ask about the appropriate preposition, gb.

We seem to have a disconnect here, or a typo.

Oh I'm sorry WBYeats, I didn't realize this was a question about English usage, I thought you were asking about the difference between course work for engineers verses liberal art students.

You're welcome, gb.

Not so. Read it again, in its entirety.

And don't presume to correct my work. You haven't got the nous.

Are you sure, McTag, 'on'?



Then stop screwing up so regularly.



Hung with his own petard.

yes



I didn't make a mistake, but you did.



False, and a misquote.

How is the view from the top of the dungheap, JTT? Pillock.

Why the terrible reluctance to expand, McTag? You know how dangerous it is for you to open your mouth - your foot immediately shoots up to fill the hole.

Insults will only take you so far...that is, not very.

Your professors would be ashamed of what they have produced.

You insult yourself, laddie, with your inability to focus on the language issues.

Yes, it's "hoist" (blown up) by his own petard (a crude form of explosive device)

those are interesting - can't imagine anyone speaking like that but I guess anything is possible in spoken language

Without a doubt that is the nicest and most accurate explanation of that line. Also if you use the word 'hung' it's accurate in this form "the stockings were hung on the chimney with care", in other words items or objects are hung or you hang the items on the chimney. If the misquote used hanged, it would at least be normal usage however the actual quote used "hoist".

Modern English usage, especially spoken English can be very informal combining slang and bending nouns into verbs. Depending on the circumstances, it's important to know when informal/trendy/slang usage is acceptable, at gatherings of friends or family. And when it's not, such as applying for a position as an English professor, or during a job interview (unless of course you are trying out for the banjo spot with a Country Music Band. By the way, Kris Kristopherson was a Rhodes Scholar, and Im pretty sure he knows the difference. It's not a matter of right or wrong or good and bad, and especially not stupid versus refined. It depends on the situation you are in at the time.

Is 'on', as used in the above example, idiomatic/natural BrE, Contrex?

'hoist' doesn't mean 'blown up', C.
