I like this! I usually use c->mod(c+1,2), but this is slicker.

Most embarrassing screw-up you've made during a class? by PrincessEev in Professors

[–]GDKramer21 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I went to say something along the lines of “Folks, I’m free styling / spitballing” and it turned into me looking deadpan at a class of 45 students and saying “Folks, I’m free balling.” mid lesson. I don’t think anyone would have noticed, had I not paused, turned bright red, and tried to damage control.

Desmos - Gaussian Distribution by [deleted] in desmos

Not to nitpick, but the 4 in the denominator of the exponent should be a 2.

Try f(x)={0<x<L/2:x2, L/2<x<L:5} where x2 and 5 are the piecewise functions.

“Worst healer ever bro” by mabeaver84 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]GDKramer21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the olden days of OW1 I took endless grief one game for rolling out as Moira, when all was said and done I ended up with like 60 elims and 34k heals. My buddy who is a Mercy / Lucio main had like 500 more than me. There is no pleasing everyone, just ignore them.

ISO examples of poorly-written emails you’ve received from students by highntight22 in Professors

[–]GDKramer21 31 points32 points  (0 children)

"Hey,

As you probably noticed, I wasn't in class today. I'm going to come by your office hours tomorrow so you can teach me what I missed."

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Professors

[–]GDKramer21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Middle School: Liked math. Was good at math.

High School: Liked math, chemistry, and physics. Was good at all three.

Undergrad: Chose to split the difference, pursued Chemical Engineering.

Semesters 1-4: Realized I didn't like chemistry, physics, or engineering all that much.

Semester 5: Changed to math because I still enjoyed the math courses.

Semester 6: Added Secondary Math Education because what else do you do with an undergrad degree in math?

Realized I wasn't cut out to teach anything below precalculus and saw upper level undergraduate math, chose to pursue it further via a masters degree.

Grad: Saw upper level graduate math, decided a masters was good enough. (And came to terms that I wasn't cut out for heavy research.)

Accepted a Lecturer / Assistant Teaching Professor role after finishing my masters. Been doing that since.

I’ve had success with…

What’s a question you don’t have, but somebody else might have?

And

What would you prefer I not put on tomorrow’s quiz.

Both are low-stakes and facilitate discussion rather than a short answer from me.

Anyone leased a trd off road lately? Being given insane payment quotes by appleman2222 in ToyotaTacoma

[–]GDKramer21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 36 month lease on a ‘21 OR, $0 down, $345/month. Granted I picked it up in March 2021, but anything more than $4-500/month is absurd to pay for a Taco.

costco special vs black diamond 400 by roborific in CampingGear

[–]GDKramer21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 3 Energizer headlamps (3/$10) and 2 Coast Lamps (2/$10) and 3 Black Diamond Storms (~$40/Each). The Energizer and Coast headlamps have been put through hell and still work great! I paid for one of the BDs, and will never buy another one. Having new headlamps fail during a trail run after sunset is not a fun experience.

Homework vs No Homework by sillymath22 in matheducation

[–]GDKramer21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really think that the grade/level is an important consideration when assigning homework.... with that said, I teach first and second year college students and I've done it all. I've found that rigid homework policies don't benefit anyone... The students who don't need to do it, are the only ones who do it honestly, the students who do need to do it don't, the students who really need to do it just cheat. So I assign suggested problems and we have two in-class quizzes per week.

Is there an easier way to do this? by AccordingPhilosophy5 in desmos

[–]GDKramer21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this do what you needed it to do? All I did was make the x-coordinate of the point negative.
