High level nursing and psychology students writing a summary: done in 30 minutes, a dozen lines written and submitted.
High-medium level law students writing a summary: write a first draft, then a second, about two pages long, double-check and triple check for mistakes, lasts the entire 90 minutes of the class.
One day I need to write an essay about the very different atmospheres of my classes (despite me teaching the same content) according to their majors.
Something funny I noticed this semester (probably because it's the first time I teach almost all my classes in the same classroom): In almost every class, boys tend to sit on my left and girls on my right (sometimes with a clear separation in the middle, sometimes not) but for some reason, in my 2nd period Wednesday class, it's the other way around. Odd...
Why? Your guess is as good as mine.
#Teaching med. students about base rates and bayesian updating improved their diagnoses more than merely practicing differential #diagnosis on various cases (F = 9.07, p < 0.001), which was no better than the control condition!
Apparently in 2015 I knew what this meant. I now have not the faintest idea what the hell is going on. Maybe you do.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND why tutorials and references for CLIs still show short-form flags when long-form flags exist.
A long flag is easier to remember, easier to understand, easier to tab-complete, and easier to find in help printouts or man pages.
The user can later adopt short flags on their own.
Simply DO NOT EVER teach "tar xzf data.tgz". Teach "tar --extract --gzip --file=data.tgz".
Sometimes there are other things that simplify it. Teach "ps -A" instead of "ps aux".
Stuff like this is what keeps me in this ferkakte business

Job - Alert 
(Senior) Lecturer & Researcher – Schwerpunkt: Von den Basics bis hin zum Systembau
Deadline: 2025-07-20
Location: Austria, Wiener Neustadt
I'll soon be preparing a new lecture. Last time I did that, I sprinkled suitable Dilbert comics into my slides, but that feels a bit outdated today. What's the tech-focused webcomic that all the cool kids know? XKCD, sure, but anything else? Commitstrip?
I'm looking at preparing a short course on (anarcho-)solarpunk for the end of July.
The class will have bilingual (Japanese-English) presentation for high school students.
Any suggestions for resources?

I do envy the PE teachers a little bit, as they're allowed to wear shorts in class.
I do envy them much less when they need to teach class in this weather (35 degrees today) outside or in a gym without A/C.
This is a #FediHire post, but it's not about technology, so I don't know how helpful the fediverse will be.
I have a PHD in math and nine years of experience teaching university students. I want to leave higher education and become a high school math teacher, but I am not certified.
I'm in the U.S. and have no easy way to leave. I also can't go four years without an income or health insurance.
What states would be the easiest for me to get at least provisionally certified to teach in?
Also keep in mind that I'm trans, so I am only willing to move to a state where it's legal for me to interact with teenagers and get health care.

Waiting for my train and going through slides of a BOF from the #isc25 . Apparently, students prefer tutored online courses.
I as a lecturer always prefer onsite courses. Spiced with lots of exercises. Such that I get an immediate impression of proceedings and reception of the material.
Yes, I understand the need-to-travel overhead when living in somewhat remote areas. On the other hand: All those demanding online or even hybrid courses - have you considered that the average participant might learn less? The literature supporting online courses at least is rather underwhelming.
Plus, actually meeting people is way better than chatting online. Same with conferences. I just me people from @SURF and other places whom I only met online before. Such a difference!
Then again, I only travel by train - which cannot expected by everyone ...
Today I've finished #teaching to my current customer how to maintain the #software I've developed for them once I've left. Two sessions of 3h and 3h40, teaching to 4 people, all in #japanese of course. A bit tired tonight, but both the users and the IT team are super happy with what I've done (solving a #combinatorial #optimisation problem to save them several hours of work every week and help #organic #farmers ) and I was happy to teach about what I love the most: #programming .
Bonus point for preaching about #testdrivendevelopment and the beauty of #cprogramming .
Also still looking for my next contract ! #fedihire #jobsearch
