In case useful for teachers starting the semester, my blog has gratuitous advice on lab notebooks, conference posters, oral presentations, lab write-ups, and plagiarism. Pitched for undergraduates but hopefully useful for all ages. #conferences #posters #academics #teaching #college #plagiarism #education #teachers #blog #school #biology #science #undergraduate https://colinpurrington.com/

I don't typically follow this lawfare stuff. Whether I like a protest or not is politically irrelevant. This one is different.
McGill was fucking brutal. Physical. Gross. Scary.
Also famously the place where a professor yelled go back to Poland.
"A #Quebec Superior Court judge has authorized a class action alleging #McGillUniversity failed to adequately protect #Jewish #students from #antisemitism, harassment and intimidation on campus following the #Oct7, 2023, #Hamas attack on #Israel.
The #lawsuit was brought by #DavidCobrin, who was a #McGill #undergraduate when the events described in the case began, and covers Jewish students registered at the #university between Oct. 8, 2023, and the publication of an official notice of the ruling. The plaintiffs are seeking reimbursement of 33 per cent of tuition and student fees, along with $5 million in collective #punitivedamages. The ruling allows those claims to proceed but does not determine whether McGill is liable."

Here are the #undergraduate programs that pay off (and some that don’t)
Going to #college works out financially for most students, report shows
Biggest payoffs for students seeking bachelor’s degrees occurred in engineering and architecture, business and economics, and security and protective services degrees. Liberal arts, recreation and fitness studies, and social sciences students saw the lowest returns among categories included in the report.

This can be a great strategy to retool for your future--especially if you live in a state like New Mexico that takes educating a large proportion of #FirstGen college attendees as a serious priority, with in-state tuition almost A THIRD OF this article's stated average--which can often be reduced TO ZERO through state grants & financial assistance specifically aimed at helping these populations.
At these states' flagship institutions--like The University of New Mexico--the realities the article mentions of juggling work ,school, and home life are mitigated through widespread availability of classes online--but still taught by the same faculty you'd have on campus--and timed to fit your schedule. And through a campus culture and a faculty that honors the struggles you make, to make a better future.
Whether you're a new aspiring #undergraduate or an experienced professional with ANY technical degree contemplating a return to #GradSchool--like countless Soldiers I've mentored in the four decades since my OWN military career began--accredited programs like UNM Organization, Information & Learning Sciences (OILS), with degree & certificates from the bachelors to the Ph.D., can equip you with the evidence-based tools & methods at the intersection of recruiting, training, HR, and analytics, to design, lead, and evaluate the workforce readiness programs for your current organization, or charting an entirely new path.
What are you waiting for...?

Alongside coordinating and lecturing in Intermediate Logic this semester, I have the fun task of teaching one of the tutorial groups, together with our enthusiastic and capable graduate student tutors. My Tuesday morning cohort is a microcosm of the student body at St Andrews.
Of the 13 students, we have two each from England, China, and the USA, and we have one each from Botswana, Denmark, France, Greece, Hong Kong, Scotland and Spain. That’s a diverse bunch.
In addition, six of the 13 are Philosophy majors, six are Mathematics majors, five major in International Relations, and we have one each from French, Computer Science and Psychology. (I haven’t miscounted: some of our students complete double majors.)
Finally, this cohort consists of eight women and five men.
I’m looking forward to spending time with these students through the semester.

The common learning modes of #EE and #CS #undergraduate #students I have taught or mentored:
• The one who cannot master any concept, and soon drops out of the programme, after the first semester—this type often ends up switching into Econ or Bio
• The one who chooses to learn only those concepts he deems are of immediate value to him—this type inevitably becomes an #IT practitioner
• The one who learns everything with alacrity, but never bothering to investigate the deeper meaning thereof—this type almost always gets an MBA and becomes an IT executive
• The one who learns deeply everything on the curriculum, then pursues connected or related concepts that are beyond the curriculum—this type usually pursues a PhD and often becomes an academic researcher and, less often, a patentee or a tech company founder -

• The one who cannot master any concept, and soon drops out of the programme, after the first semester—this type often ends up switching into Econ or Bio
• The one who chooses to learn only those concepts he deems are of immediate value to him—this type inevitably becomes an #IT practitioner
• The one who learns everything with alacrity, but never bothering to investigate the deeper meaning thereof—this type almost always gets an MBA and becomes an IT executive
• The one who learns deeply everything on the curriculum, then pursues connected or related concepts that are beyond the curriculum—this type usually pursues a PhD and often becomes an academic researcher and, less often, a patentee or a tech company founder -

The Week Ahead
Another weekend is almost over so, after spending most of this afternoon in the garden, I’ve retreated indoors to look at my calendar for the forthcoming week. I find a plethora of Examination Board meetings, one (tomorrow) for our Masters students who did their presentations on Friday and two for undergraduates who took repeat examinations in August (one for Mathematical Physics and one for Engineering, as I happen to have been teaching Engineering Mathematics this year). The two undergraduate boards are both on Thursday. All three of these should be relatively brief, but you never know…
There is another meeting tomorrow, Monday, about organizing our computational physics teaching for the new academic year. The merger of theoretical and experimental physics has given us the chance to coordinate the different computational modules offered by the two previous departments, but we need to make sure the teaching rooms are big enough and the computers have the correct software, etc. Fortunately I’m not actually teaching Computational Physics again until Semester 2 but we have to get it sorted in time for other modules happening in Semester 1.
In between Monday and Thursday I have two whole days with no meetings and no grading to do. I might be able to get on with some research, or at least with writing up some research I’ve already done.
Friday is a big day for the Irish higher education system, in that it’s the day students get their Leaving Certificate results. This year the grade inflation introduced during the pandemic is supposed to begin to unwind, but none of us outside the examination system knows how this will be achieved or what the results will be. If I had to bet I’d say that the CAO points needed for most courses at Maynooth will go down substantially, partly because of the deflation mentioned previously but also because The Management has decided that the University has to recruit more and more students and will drop entry standards as low as it needs to in order to meet its targets.
I don’t know how many students we will end up with for Academic Year 2025/6 but I do know that I will have retired before most of them complete their course. I used to find it a bit scary thinking about retirement, but not any more.

Loose Ends of the Academic Year…
I know most people outside academia thing university staff are on a long holiday between June and September, but that’s not the case. This week we have been trying to sort out some of the loose ends of Academic Year 2024/5 before we start on planning for 2025/6. The matters to be dealt with include undergraduate, taught postgraduate, and research posgraduate.
To start with I’ve had to mark my undergraduate repeat (resit) examinations. The grades need to be checked and uploaded before the appropriate examination board meeting next week. That will resolve a number of progression issues, as well as hopefully allowing some students to retrieve credit from their final year and thus be allowed to graduate.
Another set of tasks related to our taught MSc students. They submitted their dissertations on Monday which now need to be read and graded before another examination board (next Monday). They also have to do their presentations, which take place this Friday (15th August).
The following week, the School leaving certificate results come out, at which point we’ll start to get some idea of how many students we will have entering the first year in September.
Today I heard that my PhD student Aoibhinn, who passed her viva voce examination way back in May, has had her thesis corrections formally approved. She now has to submit a bound copy of the thesis along with an electronic version thereof by September 6th at the latest. Then her degree has to be approved by the Faculty of Science & Engineering (on September 16th) followed by Academic Council on (29th September). Assuming those formalities are observed, she can receive her doctorate at one of the conferring ceremonies at the end of October.
Another thing I heard today is that Aoibhinn has been awarded a prestigious research fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation but she needs her degree certificate before she can start. That’s a stricter policy than elsewhere, but it is Germany. It’s a bit frustrating, but that particular loose end will definitely be tied soon enough, after which Aoibhinn will be off to Germany for two years. Fortunately the start date of the fellowship is flexible. Congratulations to Aoibhinn!
