>Our school converted a computer lab to a programming lab. Computers in the lab have editors/compilers/interpreters, and whitelist documentation, plus an internal server for grading and submission. No internet access otherwise. We've used it for one course so far with good results, and extending it to more courses in the fall.
As an higher education (university) IT admin who is responsible for the CS program's computer labs and is also enrolled in this CS program, I would love to hear more about this setup, please & thank you. As recently as last semester, CS professors have been doing pen'n paper exams and group projects. This setup sounds great!
We've been doing this at Illinois for 10 years now. Here's the website with a description of the facility: https://cbtf.illinois.edu/. My colleagues have also published multiple papers on the testing center—operations, policies, results, and so on.
It's a complete game changer for assessment—anything, really, but basic programming skills in particular. At this point I wouldn't teach without it.
Save for at least one current sitting Justice: Amy Coney Barrett. They only had ~3 years of experience being a judge, Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals (2017–2020), before being nominated to the Supreme Court. Yes, they have experience in other law related roles, however your comment explicitly stated, "...fairly long careers as acting judges...," so that is what I'm speaking to.
It sounds like it might've helped prevent even more infections. Stopping a bad practices doesn't change the past, but it can help influence the future.
Problems with both education systems can exist at the same time. As a society, we can try to address the issues with both home schooling and the public education system, not just one or the other.
If you are the same Solar Fields I’m thinking about, I’m pretty sure I discovered your/their music, specifically the album Until We Meet The Sky, via what.cd. Cheers!
Man! I would have missed that username if you hadn't commented about it. Thanks for saying something!
I will always associate Until We Meet the Sky with a roughly two week period late in my undergrad during which several of my friends were moving away and I was pulling all-nighters helping people pack, blasting this album on the dorm's speakers to a deserted campus and generally thinking about impermanence. Strong album.
Didn't find them via What, though - I think it was by branching out from the Mirror's Edge soundtrack.
My memory of that specific detail is a bit fuzzy, however I’m pretty sure it was a staff pick. That or via the fantastic similar artists feature at the bottom of an artist’s page, the star/spoke map that was user generated/voted: thicker the line between artists, the more user votes that similarity had gotten.
I am not Magnus, only a fan of his music. Sorry to disappoint :)
I actually discovered Magnus via Pandora ages ago, but WCD allowed me to really discover the full discography and subsequently Ultimae records which puts out a lot of great music in that genre
