@Fleming_Pres @FlemingCollege Each year we used to recognize a faculty member with the Charles E. Pascal Award for Excellence in Teaching. I don't believe the award has been given out since 2018. I hope I am mistaken. If so please correct me.

@ryankatzrosene Same there. Completing another Masters in Analytics from Georgia Tech this May - I was going to make Lauren go to Atlanta with me for this reason. I've participated as faculty at the college convocation - supporting graduating students was/is awesome.I highly recommend it.

@Sflecce Relevant to note in 2005 the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) was passed changing public school demographics. Support workers are important to reduce/remove barriers for people with disabilities - our public schools must be accessible and inclusive for all

@Mathowitz I think of skewed data as being pulled - almost as though we imagine the data being some bulk that needs to be covered with a blanket - when it's skewed to the right/left there are small bits of data in that direction pulling on the blanket trying to get covered

@HezCuthbert I've also started changing it around. Used to be ADIEU but then I'd know a lot of vowels, but no idea where they went or what went with them. Found it made it slow for next guesses. Now I choose something with a mix of common and less common consonants - GHOST, CHASE, POINT, ...
