I think that I forgot a week note for last week. It’s been a bit of a blur, really. This week is another week of term tests. It’s almost over! The last make-up midtem is next Friday, November 14th.
Last week, I didn’t get much writing done. My usual writing blocks Tuesday-Thursday 13-14:00, were mostly spent thinking about anything other than term tests. I did a bit of string figure analysis and wrote up my findings for Keiichiro. Hopefully, I’ll get to the Seminar article soon.
This week, I got some wonderful feedback from the editor of BISFA about my piece Jayne in Brief. This is piece is so close to being done. (Right, right, I’ve been saying that for weeks.) It needs a thoughtful response to the editor and a handful of reads. The fixes at this point are very minor.
I started finally hammering out some details of MAT A02: The Magic of Numbers. I’m taking an “assessment first” approach to building the course. I’ve started writing up the Big List of Questions which will be used for tutorials, term tests, and the exam. Right now, the skeletal big list goes to Week 6 of 12. It is nice (but a little intimidating) to build out a course from scratch.
I found someone’s lost “paper ecosystem” in a classroom. This inspired a bit of an addendum to the post on my paper ecosystem. If you value your notebooks, put your contact information somewhere visible! It is really helpful when your notebook goes missing.
Keiichiro and I continue to play with Tom Storer’s Little Red Book. We got stuck interpreting two of the figures, Duck’s Feet I and Cathedral Between Two Mountains, so I made a little video of them. It continues to be a blast to play through these figures and bring them to life.
Despite my best effors, I can’t help but think about writing my own multiple choice questions management database thing. A bit of quick Google-ing doesn’t turn up any prior work.
If you write weeknotes, I feel like we’re already almost friends because of the format, the commitment, and the humility. Weeknoters are loggers, not always bloggers. — What is it about people who write Weeknotes? - Twelvety
