What concept(s) did the students find hardest to grasp? What areas do you think more time should be spent on when teaching it? Thnx in advance.

Ironically, this response is VERY similar to the confusing verbosity of most programming languages. :) In Python, you would just say: Python (NOTE: I do appreciate the thoughtful and detailed response. I was mainly illustrating a point for

agreed. i avoid the frontpage, but keep track of a few subreddits.

i agree with most of what you say, but i think a key is more balance between the two. not purely "real world", and not strictly "academic world". somewhere in between.

by babeKnuth 16y ago
well said. i didn't think of that perspective. my own experience was more along the lines of feeling a disconnect between classwork and how it applied to the real world.

it would also tend to probably attract those profs/instructors that are more "aware" of what's out there. they (typically) tend to be the better instructors as well.

he's apparently used duckduckgo. i can recognize it from a mile away because the stalking/wow factor that all us users experience after using it seems to have also bit him. :)

I've been using this for the past 4 years. They've got a nice iPad app that includes highlighting, but unfortunately their desktop app can't handle highlighting yet. :( Their priorities are a bit backward. The desktop app has been surpassed

I would rather not be stalked and have all my personal and private information available to people trying to sell me crap I don't want or need. I'd rather see no advertisements.
