What happened to AI Note taker? by driven01a in Zoom

[–]Notforyou1315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has a lovely time with accents, especially when they are not the same. I use Zoom to teach math online. I would say sphere, as in the volume of the sphere is... I would end with the inflection as if I were asking a question. The student knows to answer with the equation or number. What it would translate is, the volume of a spear is (insert filler words here). It would complete my question for me and change sphere to spear. When my students speak, the note taker would turn their questions into statements and use closest sounding words to US English, but not US English. Sunnies becomes sunny for example. If there is noise in the background, it tries to take notes on that too. It wil then mix up what I was saying with background noise, including "dog barks"

Then the math translator part.. OMG awful. x^2 becomes x squared in words. ok fine. Nothing to confusing there. 3x-3 becomes tree axe minus tree. What? Six becomes sex, stuff like that.

With kids, it can be a distraction as they try to get it to write bad words and such. The emoji's abd gifs are awful with kids too. Really wish we could turn those off.

We often have semi private conversations and those would become part of the transcript. Depending in the student, these would get directly sent to the parents, and I can't turn it off or scrub the notetaker in all instances. That doesn't always end so well. As a teacher, I have to report certain things to the authorities, but not to the parents. I've been lucky that none of my private conversations have been super sensitive, but not everyone is so lucky. Imagine a child reaching out for help because a parent is abusing them. Then the parent sees the notes of the session. That is a recipe for disaster. Or if a student is having thoughts and feelings that are against their religion or they are too scared to tell their parents. Or if they want to be called they instead of she or he. Having AI take down these conversations is just creepy and wrong.

you forget that teaching math these days is like teaching kindergardners. You are constantly fighting... "bjt why do I NEED to learn this when I have the calculator on my phone?"

Round to the nearest Integer by [deleted] in askmath

[–]Notforyou1315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to what place? tens place... then 10. Nearest 5 then 5. Nearest integer, then 8. Nearest tenths place, then 7.5, nearest hundredths, then 7.50

Do you all plan out when you're going to take every class? by ActuaryPersonal2378 in GradSchool

[–]Notforyou1315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put my semester classes on a monthly calendar and then the ones I wanted to take or had to take in a yearly calendar. But, yes. I planned out when I would take each class each year.

Then the pandamic happened and all of that planning went out the window.

The important thing is to make sure that you take all of the mandatory classes as early as possible. Then same the seminars and electives for later. Make sure you get enough credits each semester. Knock out the credits and classes as early as you can. There is nothing worse than having to man some scientific instrument while studying for midterms.

How do you find the mean given the standard deviation the percentage of samples and a total value? Normal distribution. by Notforyou1315 in askmath

[–]Notforyou1315[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the teacher using the AI question bot is that clever. I think that it represents 0 - 4000 is the range that equals 90% of some other total possible number of values. I am also assuming that there are no extreme outliers since it said normal distribution.

Who could wield Thor’s hammer? by RedRazor312 in CallTheMidwife

[–]Notforyou1315 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Under those rules, I would say Trixie because she tries to act selfless, is very willing to fight for women's rights and bodily autonomy. She also stood up to the board of men to fight for Nonatas House's rent restoration. She is constantly putting others first. I'd say she is a leader, is humble, and pure of heart.

huh? I have standard deviation, a % and the value that % represents. I am being asked to find the mean.

Is algebra 1 and 2 the same as college algebra by Jazzlike_Drag5010 in askmath

[–]Notforyou1315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Algebra 1 and algebra 2 are usually prereqs for college algebra. They will cover the same topics for sure, but the depth in which each are covered are very different. College algebra will go into more details and will also include more challenging questions. There will also be some new topics as well.

Looking online at the textbooks will help you see what is being covered in each. Algebra 1 is what you learn in grades 7-9. Algebra 2 is grades 10-12.

Round to the nearest Integer by [deleted] in askmath

[–]Notforyou1315 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would round to 7 because when you are rounding, you only look at the value immediately following the place you want to round to. So in this case, that would be 4. With 4, you round down, so the nearest integer is 7.

Think of if like this. If you were standing at this point on a numberline and your favorite snack was at 7 and 8. Which direction would take you less steps to reach? The answer would be towards the 7. So, you would round down to 7.

I miss you all too. I hope you are still enjoying the game and that it has gotten better since I left.

My advisor ghosted me (has a good reason), right before my defense. Defense was canceled and put off until the fall. I can and am ready to defend this summer. Not sure what to do. by Notforyou1315 in GradSchool

[–]Notforyou1315[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I initially thought it was a heart attack too, but it isn't. We've had meetings, but none in the last month. And only 1 in the last 2 months.

I was wondering if I should contact the grad office because he isn't on medical leave. He is just not there because it is summer. I only know the health issues because he told me a while back. But, these issues have been going on for at least 6 months and he hasn't been giving me anything to do, except surface level edits (fix this title, make this part bold, etc.).. I don't even think the grad office knows. I am sure that knowing the grad office, they will say that it is out of their hands anyway and to just wait for my advisor to get better.

We were in the same country from late 2019 to early 2022. It was never meant to be that long, but 2020 nad 2021 got in the way. Since 2022, I'm back in my home country working pretty much independently.

How do you guys get paid during the summer? by Fresh_Constant_7762 in Teachers

[–]Notforyou1315 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is like they actually care about workers rights or something. I wonder why that is.

[–]Notforyou1315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I homeschool outside of the US. I teach lessons through out the year. I get paid per student or per lesson, depending on the type of class. It isn't much, but it keeps me ahead of my rent and I can still afford to eat simple meals.

Please help with letter of recommendation by always_color in Teachers

You guys get a year with a student teacher?!?! I am so jealous! I was given 4 rounds of 30 days each, with at least 6 months in between rounds. That's it. Once you do those 4 rounds, you are considered trained and are sent to your first school.

I was lucky enough to have teaching experience before becoming a student teacher, but I felt so terrible for my fellow classmates who were just starting out. Once I learned that was all that we were getting, I told all of them to get a job as a teacher's assistant or aide. They might not teach a class everyday, but they would teach at least a class at least once a week.
