But by the end of the 1800s, with the existence of molecules increasingly firmly established, the Second Law began to often be treated as an almost-mathematically-proven necessary law of physics. There were still mathematical loose ends, as well as issues such as its application to living systems and to systems involving gravity.

Where they diverge from you and I is they haven’t tested all the available methods for planning a story, constructing non-fiction, or building the evidence-based argument. It’s up to us–as their teachers–to introduce these alternatives so they can pick one best suited to their learning and communication style.

Because computer science is much more than learning programming languages , the good news is this… you don’t have to know them all. You can better appreciate the value of sequencing when you learn more about algorithms, the use of proper syntax in code, and more specifics about functions, methods, parameters and operators.

Last semester, when I learned I would be teaching Modern Algebra a third-year level course on number theory, rings, and fields in January, I knew I wanted to make some changes to how I'd taught it in the past. I decided to revamp my course to be ungraded because most of the work consists of written mathematical proofs of theorems.
