I think this applies in education as well, nobody wants to have a teacher who is a robot either

@matthras @BronBH @xelamaths I wondered where she got that from!

[Lyron Winderbaum @LyronW]

@matthras @BronBH @xelamaths Hehehehe

@DavidKButlerUoA Naawh I'm really glad to hear that I had that effect, thanks for sharing! I'd love to hear what I said or did to prompt that in you :)

@nomad_penguin In my own practice, I've found that as I reflected on how to write learning objectives and translate them into learning activities and assessment, I've converged to focusing on verbs, and that's improved things alot, not sure if this counts as curriculum but it's been helpful.

More to follow next week potentially I feel like I'm on a roll with the icosahedral/dodecahedral symmetries combo

[Lyron Winderbaum @LyronW]

I made some mathematical geometry inspired art this week purely for my own enjoyment but I thought I'd share. This is three orthogonal golden rectangles intersecting in the centre of a rhombic tricontahedron, sharing vertices with the rectangles.

@nomad_penguin I wrote a task on a similar thing just the other day!

[Lyron Winderbaum @LyronW]

@Quasilocal @muddletoes Totally agree, from my personal experience "not caring" can superficially appear to be a solution to burnout but isn't. Caring gives teaching work meaning, which works against burnout. If you're struggling with burnout there are other, perhaps less immediately obvious, solutions.

@mrbrownsays @DavidKButlerUoA It's just my anecdote, but that is my experience working working in both schools and universities: that it's mostly just school students and teachers who value that kind of automaticity.

[Lyron Winderbaum @LyronW]

@DavidKButlerUoA I saw this and thought it might make a fun puzzle for 100! https://t.co/wcEqWMDnCP

[Lyron Winderbaum @LyronW]

Had an interesting thought: zero tolerance policies are not generally helpful for building relationships, but they can be helpful for ending relationships, which can sometimes be desirable. I wonder how broadly applicable that is.

[Lyron Winderbaum @LyronW]

@DavidKButlerUoA I have mentioned that contributions to this may be biased away from teaching academics due to the timing of the deadline...

[Lyron Winderbaum @LyronW]

@DavidKButlerUoA O.O I can't believe I never thought of this

[Lyron Winderbaum @LyronW]

@DavidKButlerUoA Sorry you're feeling that way, I hope it's helpful to be able to name it. When I was working at Adelaide uni and feeling this way I would sometimes go for a walk or just to sit down somewhere in the Botanic gardens. Other times I would just go find a quiet corner in the library.

[Lyron Winderbaum @LyronW]

In case it is of any use to anyone, here is the horrible probably difficult to understand and minimally commented code I wrote

[Lyron Winderbaum @LyronW]

Is 102 the optimal solution for size 6? @DavidKButlerUoA @zithral @OneHundredFac it seems that for every size up to 5 you can construct an optimal solution using the optional solution from the previous size that was constructed in the same way by adding a diagonal.

[Lyron Winderbaum @LyronW]

Fascinating that 212 is an optimal solution! But 495 is not!

[Lyron Winderbaum @LyronW]

Oh gee, so with 98 I put it in OEIS and found that it is exactly the solution to this puzzle hahahaha
