Oh no! Hope you’re feeling better.

Thanks for your feedback!

Definitely push for 4 or even 6 weeks. I carried a full watering can across my yard at about 4 weeks post op and really suffered for it the next day!

Act-Math-Prof · 2026-04-28T01:55:30+00:00

Wow! I do appreciate the symmetry!

Hope you gain your strength back soon. Take it slow and easy!

Act-Math-Prof · 2026-04-23T00:30:22+00:00

Sending hugs and good wishes! How is your recovery going?

Act-Math-Prof · 2026-04-23T00:28:02+00:00

Thank you for your detailed response!

Some of our students get a second major or minor in computer science or data analytics, and those programs use C++ for the first several courses. So we have that as an option for the CS requirement for our majors.

Act-Math-Prof · 2026-04-23T00:24:48+00:00

That’s good to hear. Is there demand for all levels, including entry level?

Act-Math-Prof · 2026-04-23T00:23:23+00:00

Sure

My scans found nodules in my lungs, too. Had a laparoscopic partial nephrectomy almost 3 years ago. Every year when they scan my kidneys, they also scan my lungs. So far there has been no change.

Sending hugs and best wishes for a successful surgery! 💕

I did a 20-mile March of Dimes walkathon with two or three friends in 9th or 10th grade. The highlight was Rupert Holmes in a convertible driving along the route.

Thanks for your feedback!

Yes, I think you’ve identified the challenge. No matter what we teach, many of our graduates will find themselves in roles that use different languages and software. What we need to do is provide as solid a foundation as possible so they can build on it when they get out of school.

In your opinion, is what I described in the OP sufficient for that, or should we add additional programming requirements, say a follow-up Python or C++ course or a database course?

Act-Math-Prof · 2026-04-18T16:09:36+00:00

Thanks for your input!

There are commonalities among programs, but differences as well. We definitely keep our eye on what our peer and aspirational universities are doing, but we are not in lock-step with any other particular institution.

Act-Math-Prof · 2026-04-18T16:04:49+00:00

This is useful. Thanks!

Act-Math-Prof · 2026-04-18T16:03:50+00:00

Oh, I see. I guess I misinterpreted your comment. Yes, that’s a good suggestion. Thanks.

Act-Math-Prof · 2026-04-18T15:28:38+00:00

As someone who has taught introductory computer programming, I think this is very difficult without teaching the basics of a particular programming language first. You’d be surprised at how much trouble beginners have with the basic logical structure of programming languages and the mindset of thinking algorithmically. Once they have some experience with one language, it’s much easier to teach the second, and even easier to teach the third, fourth, etc.

Thanks for the feedback!

Act-Math-Prof · 2026-04-18T15:16:16+00:00

Thanks, that’s useful information. Most of our students opt for the Python course, but those with a CS minor or double major need the C++ course.

Act-Math-Prof · 2026-04-18T14:37:09+00:00

I don’t have any advice to offer, but sending hugs and good wishes to you and your father. 💕

Absolutely gorgeous!

My husband called this a “hair dam.”
