If you have students in your school who do not have English as their primary language, this is a must-listen-to episode. (Or And all of a sudden I'm taking Algebra 2, I'm taking Calculus. So you would choose your primary language on there. How about two way communication? We can do this!

The heart of the loop: Reattempts without penalty

Robert Talbert, Ph.D.

be the primary measure of success in a course, and some measure of grace and flexibility will be included along with high standards and "rigor" And for other instructors, this concept raises more questions than answers. For some instructors, it provides hope that student growth will (finally!) Limit the frequency of reassessments.

Even beyond Physics: Introducing Multicomputation as a Fourth General Paradigm for Theoretical Science

Stephen Wolfram

But then—basically starting in the early 1980s—there was a burst of progress based on a new idea (of which, yes, I seem to have ultimately been the primary initiator): the idea of using simple programs , rather than mathematical equations, as the basis for models of things in nature and elsewhere. One is so-called Böhm trees.

Remembering the Improbable Life of Ed Fredkin (1934–2023) and His World of Ideas and Stories

Stephen Wolfram

It didn’t help that his knowledge of physics was at best spotty (and, for example, I don’t think he ever really learned calculus). Then McCarthy started to explain ways a computer could do algebra. It was all algebra. And Minsky mentioned work a student of his was doing on the “AI problem” of symbolic integration.
