my parents barely paid for my tuition, books, and rent. even that was hard for them. i didn't have much fun during college, i was mostly doing coursework or working a job to have some meager spending money.
Harvard has their cs101 course just... available for free. including coursework. I got as far as making the game, asteroids.
Hi. No I cannot think about my last term of coursework. Please recall that email.
My most radical “science reform” idea is that we should scrape 85% of undergrad/early-grad applied stats and methods coursework and replace it with long strong methodological reading comprehension. We should almost exclusively train students to consume, not produce, science.
