Clearly it’s both mismanagement and a software issue. I can’t believe the people here trying to ensure the software platform and provider never looks like the bad guy by defining “bad” in the most convenient way. (Again, management is bad.

Well, one relevant difference is that in a school the student is exposed to dozens of teachers while at home the number is much smaller.

The key is not to focus on “what” needs documenting, but “how” someone will use your documentation: to get set up, to consume an api, to modify behavior, etc. If you write with the goal to help someone with X problem do Y to solve it, the e

Vacate, query (or inquire), propose, require, audit, (re)posit. Idk about function but the word might be out there. The thing is that all of these have slightly shifted meanings when denominalized in English. To proposition someone isn’t ju

It’s absolutely not. The balance of power has shifted toward the students in recent years (for better or worse). If a professor is able to “punish” “contrarian views,” it is only to the extent that the rest of the students get behind it. Bu

Many questions that aren’t definitively answerable are nonetheless worth repeating to ask each generation, since the alternative is an ossified answer treated as if it were definitive (ie a particularly stagnant religious dogma) or that we

Yes but this only further waters down the already watered down legitimacy of a degree. I know a lot of people think students should be building things independently of classes but that kind of misses the point of dedicating a full time inve

The difference of course is that while we roughly mean to ask for a “normal instance,” (and only occasionally for a “representative” instance strictly speaking), there are some circumstances where we disagree about what “normal” is or (cruc

Not only that but poetic things are more or less by definition things that a native speaker would not say routinely (otherwise they wouldn’t be poetic). Even when they are fairly colloquial (as here), there’s got to be some twist of rhythm

It needs to be stronger than that. There ought to be penalties for activities outside the specified scope (preferably criminal in cases that exceed some minimal threshold of severity). Just stopping it at the trial level is inadequate if we
