A quotation from Lewis Carroll
“Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with,” the Mock Turtle replied: “and then the different branches of Arithmetic — Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.”
“I never heard of ‘Uglification,'” Alice ventured to say. “What is it?”
The Gryphon lifted up both its paws in surprise. “Never heard of uglifying!” it exclaimed. “You know what to beautify is, I suppose?”
“Yes,” said Alice, doubtfully: “it means — to — make — anything — prettier.”
“Well then,” the Gryphon went on, “if you don’t know what to uglify is, you are a simpleton.”
Alice did not feel encouraged to ask any more questions about it, so she turned to the Mock Turtle, and said, “What else had you to learn?”
“Well, there was Mystery,” the Mock Turtle replied, counting off the subjects on his flappers, — “Mystery, ancient and modern, with Seaography: then Drawling — the Drawling-master was an old conger-eel, that used to come once a week: he taught us Drawling, Stretching, and Fainting in Coils.”
Lewis Carroll (1832-1898) English writer and mathematician [pseud. of Rev. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson]
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, ch. 9 “The Mock Turtle’s Story” (1865)

So I was given credits for programming 3 but I see I don't almost half the topics in the syllabus, should i mayhaps perhaps (1) take the class? OR (2)should i talk to one of the instructors and work on a self-paced syllabus for that class?😕
Additionally, if there are any resources for Scientific Programming courses, syllabus, textbooks or notes if you are organized and willing, it would help a lot!

Second (#unpopularOpinion? IDK), not all student emails should get a response. Said colleague got upset when I listed categories like:
- Questions already answered in the #syllabus, in the notes, in the lecture, in an announcement literally 5 minutes ago, in basic university policies, etc.
- Emails with #manipulation, like "I'd hate to have to go over your head, but I really think my grade is unfair. I am an A student and..."
- Repeatedly asking about something already answered (usually wanting points, second/third/twelfth chances, exceptions from course policies, etc.) when the student just didn't like the answer.
- Interesting observations (e.g., "I found a cool website relevant to the course"): very cool, but maybe the interaction has already ended.
- Insults (yes, this has happened)
- Extremely #unprofessional communication like "Yo prof I know u said u don't give out powerpoints but how about i get you any five bootlegged movies you want in mp4 format" (this was sent to me, more or less word for word) or "Hey, toots..." (my ex got an email starting out exactly this way). I suspect female or female-presenting faculty get more of the latter kind of bullshit.

I'm in awe right now, but I need some advice. For several years, I've been seeking the book that Beau Brummell used to learn Latin. I know it was Introduction to the Latin Tongue for the use of Youth. There were many different editions, including The famous, but later, Eton Latin Grammar. He attended Eton from 1786 to 1794. I have a digital copy of one published in 1795, wich fits the timeframe perfectly, but it's a mess when trying to read the "full text" with NVDA (my screen reader) or to convert the pdf to text. Likewise, I have one from about 1824-5 that is a reprint of 1795, and though it's a bit clearer, it's still full of errors. The hard copy reprints I've found are all pictures of the originals, not cleanly retyped. Just now, I found an original 1824 edition, and it's in clean condition! I'm quite afraid, because I am totally blind, and in order to read it, I must hold it and turn the pages so that my software can scan it! I can either use my ArX Vision, which I wear on my head, or my Pearl Document Scanning Camera with Openbook. Either way, I would be touching a book that's 200 years old! However, no one seems to have a modern copy that is retyped. All are just pictures of old editions, and when I try to convert the pdfs to txt, or to read the pre-made html versions (all at the Internet Archive), they are full of errors! This would be fine in English, but I'm using the book to learn Latin!

As a side note, here is my post in which I explain my search for a Latin tutor. I have not yet found one. If you think you can help me, please read said post before simply writing that you are a tutor. I am not using modern methods or pronunciation.

Finally, this is the syllabus for the pre-1868 Eton College curriculum that I created after a lot of research. It includes links to the books I plan to use, as well as extras.

Getting your syllabus ready? Putting off getting your syllabus ready? If you answered YES to either of these questions, here's a classic (and still popular) episode to help you take a break from having to work on your #syllabus.

As it's syllabus writing season again, here's my informed take on why students should *not* use large language models for social science writing.
I took the time to try prompt engineering in response to my own assignments, and it led nowhere good.
Braggy braggy moment: I have put together syllabi for fall, and there's still a week before my first class!
Am drinking beer and watching a movie to celebrate. It has been a haaaaaaard five days. But I'm especially pleased for my sophomore class, which makes MUCH more sense than my first time through it. And it has almost 100% different repertoire. Go figure.
The AI course policy collection has a lot of interesting examples in it. I figured I'd share some reflections about the collection as a whole:

Thinking out loud here... (gonna cc: my #ADHD friends... I mean, just with the hashtag itself)
I was thinking today about how life just zooms into oblivion at warp speed after college, and how there was one thing that kept the pace of time manageable while I was still in college (even in my 40s): the #syllabus (and assignments).
I actually had one grad class where my grade in class was creating my own syllabus (well, my own curriculum, I guess) for a hypothetical class of my own creation, and I was amazed at how difficult and time-consuming it was.
I was thinking that I'd feel more accomplished in life, and would feel the time waste away less if I made a syllabus for myself, for my recreation activities (read: farting around on my laptops -- in a purposeful way).
Right now, I'm concentrating on two things: I really want to learn #FreeCAD to design my own objects for #3DPrinting, and I'd like to (finally) learn #uxn.

I did some counting of all the Content points to be taught in the new NSW 7-10 Music Syllabus.
There are 56 content points in Stage 4.
Under listening, 19 of 22 content points focus on verbal knowledge.
There are 57 content points in Stage 5.
Under listening, 16 of 18 content points focus on verbal knowledge.
Given that NESA’s original position was that they were “making a syllabus for teachers”, I can’t help but think they failed. That’s not for students, either.
