https://youtu.be/qhpR0oIpVPs A video of this talk with an informative description. A part of the description pasted below Reflection questions to support personal statement writing: https://thelearningcode.school.blog/2021/10/21/what-do-you-want-to-be-when-you-grow-up-is-a-horrible-question/ How to get paid to learn: https://thelearningcode.school.blog/2021/07/23/get-paid-to-learn-six-practices-to-earn-scholarships/ What students learn when we focus on Equity... https://jeffandersonmath.wordpress.com/2021/12/10/grade-for-equity-as-a-college-math-instructor-round-2/ Educators whether that be the humans in the Financial Aid / Scholarship Department or the professors of your courses are performing weekly miracles and delivering exceptional service just to stay sane... while doing the best they can given what they know, how they were treated, and why they are here. Always actively and consciously, be curious, kind, empathetic, and thoughtful when engaging with others. This is a learned skill that you have the opportunity to develop in every interaction with another human. This is in essence what keeps humanity moving forward rather than backward. Affirmation: Personnel is Policy, we are the system - recognize we are the institution, we are the knowledge holders. Say "I am an institution, I'm a school, I'm a library" not with hubris, but with humility... b/c we know that 1st generation, Black Indigenous Students of Color, hold schools & libraries within them. Each of you have the ability to empower the people the people in your lives, we believe in you! I hope this chat inspires you to read the hyperlinks in the description and inspires you to do your own research about the scholarship journey. Doing well in your classes and reflecting on how those classes will matter in your near / far future is a beautiful act of scholarship.

The longer you wait for the future, the shorter it will be. May we remember to extend our family friends, mentor mentees, and even adversaries, Grace. https://youtu.be/0f_nVSbE9Lk Jennifer's youtube description pasted here: This is a special one for me. This was one of the first songs my Grandmother taught me to sing. We lost her in the November of 2015 and I regularly wonder if she would have been proud of me and the music I now make. As you probably know by now music is a very emotional thing for me and so when I recorded this one I tried to picture myself singing this for my Grandmother, and that she was right there beaming with pride. ✨ Join my Patreon community for Zoom hangouts and exclusive updates: https://www.patreon.com/jenniferowens Stream/download my covers and originals on Spotify/Apple/Amazon etc. with this link: https://smarturl.it/JOMusic Instagram: @jenniferowensmusic Tik Tok: @jenniferowens_ Facebook: @jenniferowensmusic

Educators and Students, remember you are not a One Man Band. In preparation for leading the learning STEM segment of the TechCore Summer institute 2021 at FH, for our first gathering, I will play a sample of this song to remind us to harmonize together. I will not and can not be a One Man Band. We have a lot to offer our families, communities, and the world when we engage in deep learning of stem, so let's learn in reflection, collaboration, and solidarity. #OldDominion #OneManBand #CountryMusic https://youtu.be/0lxA1FXOiv0 Listen to “One Man Band” by Old Dominion from their self-titled album, out now: http://smarturl.it/OD3?IQid=youtube Apple Music: http://smarturl.it/OD3/applemusic?IQi...Spotify: http://smarturl.it/OD3/spotify?IQid=y...Amazon Music: http://smarturl.it/OD3/az?IQid=youtubeiTunes: http://smarturl.it/OD3/itunes?IQid=yo...

This is a narration of the blog post entitled What is deep learning? We discuss working definitions of learning, deep learning, and shallow learning. We explore the idea that deep learning involves two separate tasks: understanding and remembering. We also explore 5 useful strategies for improving your ability to remember ideas as you learn deeply. We also present 4 less-than-optimal strategies that lead to diminished capacity to recall ideas and result in shallower learning. We end this post with some challenges to our Learning Code community to build your own knowledge from this discussion. Remember: you can learn anything. When you work hard using effective learning strategies, when you have the courage to make mistakes, reflect on your errors, and make corrections, your brain grows and you build new skills. Si se puede (Yes you can!).

I already had many of the dots connected, and I could relatively easily pinpoint the holes in my knowledge and how to fill them. This helped estimate how long it would take to learn each individual lesson or do some task or homework. Also, my knowledge from Formula SAE already covered a lot of the content both in classes and in my job. A bunch of my time ended up being just busywork of going through the motions to reinforce things I already knew, and only a smaller and more manageable amount of my time involved learning new things. The same goes for that day when you saw me taking notes quickly and only half paying attention while writing down a lot of information. I already understood most of the concepts covered in that talk, and I would only tune in 100% when I heard something that I wasn't really familiar with. I already had a mental model ready to go and all my relevant life experiences up until that point had prepared me to go in ready to just learn a little bit more, rather than needing to learn from square 1 every little detail. If there's anything that you could highlight in post editing or in the comments or video/audio descriptions, I'd say its the amount of work that I put in beforehand on my own time that made the actual class, project, or job significantly easier.

I wrote a more comprehensive/contemplative version of this podcast here: https://thelearningcode.school.blog/2021/01/08/human-capital/ Please leave a comment at the bottom of the blog piece to help me empower you... Excerpt: So it's quite natural to work at one of these large companies. But when human capital goes there, what products are they working on? It's like unfettered free agents. Imagine you had a pro sports league with no salary cap. What would you do? You would go and hire and sign every single ‘great' player and stick them on the bench (lol). You'd be guaranteed to win a championship, you'd be a monopolistic championship winner year in year out.

At 14 years old, Hamilton became a clerk at the import-export firm where he charted routes for ships, and tracked goods - some of those ships included slaves - his abolitionist leanings later in life were influenced by what he experienced.

At 1 level, compliant subversion refers to attempts to make judicial protections of rights or powers unworkable while maintaining facial compliance with the law. As we navigate our grades and college degrees lets keep in mind how compliant subversion may serve us. https://youtu.be/C6GFb7FIB0Y "Aaron Burr, Sir" from the musical HAMILTON Performed by Alex Lacamoire, Anthony Ramos, Daveed Diggs, Leslie Odom Jr., Lin-Manuel Miranda, Okieriete Onaodowan Written by Lin-Manuel Miranda www.HamiltonMusical.com [COMPANY] 1776.

The amount of research and work available now to get a Ph.D. exceeds the scope of a lifetime... This was not the case when PhDs were first granted. According to Keith Allan Noble (1994), the first doctoral degree was awarded in medieval Paris around 1150 by the University of Paris. Imagine the amount of information and research they had to study, compared to now.

23:00 revisionist history howard zinn - historical perspective of native tribes - approach in history re-write the perspective of historical framework perspective of local communities - the historical framework shifts - entire mechanism shifts there - in education the paradigm of education in 1700th century mindset - highly celebrates privileged individuals uncommon access to information in uncommon ways - revisionist history von neuman were privileged in their lives entire systems in society assume that privilege and celebrates it. 25:00 two lives happening simultaneously - staged life in academia not aligned in physical life assumptions of academic life tied into privilege - takes counter pressure to overcome privilege barriers to engage in that space - 26:30 structure of phd education did not exist until 1940s - look at first phds - the amount of research that is available - 70 years of academic work w 100s 1000s people doing it - phd candidate 2020 - amount of information a phd candidate has to process in 1960 but structure of degree has not changed much of the dominant paradigm - we really have to transform the entire ed sys so someone now can marinate on the idea 29:00 5-6 years in undergraduate or change last 2 years in hs so last 2 years you get to specialize - instead of having to figure out everything you have to do - allow those structures to change al ittle bit - amazing nature of the academic work to be produced - the scholars who control the process just bc they went through emotional pain doesn't make them special 30:00- as we navigate those spaces of teaching jobs academic systems based on current systems have no mechanisms to be offered to you in that space - that challenge is - navigate those pressures while keeping those larger questions alive - student centered system - Raj Chetti has audacity to believe that 33:00 Jeff's aunt daughters husband study bird - Jeff thought he shouldn't have PhD at 28 the end of my PhD they put a baby a drivers seat - structure of your life - he was trying to finish his degree as a dad 35:00 Duckworth, Robin DeAngelo Dan Meyer 38:00 If jeff thought about this degree on a year to year basis are there any projects I can do in my personal life - eliminating martial arts - addicted to martial arts - first entered my mind vs 40:00 current generations of students has no idea of all the successes, 43:02Amplify Balaram's Voice While Democratizing Jeff's Guidance! 58:00 build a purpose - strategic deep learners to think about long term purpose if there's no food on the table if you don't have shelter or light in the home - engineers - in our ways to be - learning needs hierarchy - carve out some extra space to do that higher level of thinking 1:11:00 seek out a relatively constant stream of information outside of the academic degree that informs the way i think about myself 1:13:00 when thinking about purpose it's not a destination - Jeff's 50th draft can be considered second draft - what i want my life to include in the long run human being change on a daily basis as you get older your interest are gonna change life circumstances - recognizing purpose 1:20:00 purpose is most meaningful when it's above economic activity it's the benefit our communities that may be people our environment other living beings - value energy minimize suffering and maximize suffering - the closer i get to explicit answers on that the more daily actions

Comedy Sketch on Genius The Transcript I wrote: How do you tell a big idea is really a genius idea? Hint, it involves eyebrows. Genius is solving a problem that others don't think is a problem. Jeff Anderson's Conquering College project is genius because not many people in his community wanna invest in cooperative learning, modeling and demonstrating what study skills & learning habits yield for students at large. Geniuses are 1s that are willing to be daring, and surely this involves some pushback since they're going against the grain, the grain that is the dominant rhetoric & narrative, aka iphone 20 or the next tesla in the lab. Now you might be thinking how do I go against the grain and become a genius? this is difficult to do when we're stuck in this efficient vs. urgent limbo known as college education. Most students have been conditioned to do the least they have to, to "get grades", so you might think of this as efficient. but when courses get tougher, and life gives you lemons of more responsibilities and freedoms, that efficiency becomes overwhelmed by urgency. The urgent feeling of doing what we need to do to actually learn in our courses. Seth Godin wrote: 1 difference between science and art: If you can NOT replicate the work and get the same outcome, then it's not science. If you can replicate the work and get the same outcome, it's not art. ENGINEERing is real when Alan Turing Machines actually compute bits accurately, it does not do digital computations just by talking about binary 1s and 0s like I do. Jeff has said in many robust ways to his students: when we teach theory so abstractly, only the most interested and advanced students can understand it, this is inequity… Let me explain: Whoever said art was abstract, has never taken a course on theory of computation … I feel the need for psychological services just by looking at this turing machine represented in this way! machine states are annotated in yellow with bidirectional transitions of 0s or 1s denoted w lines and arrows. you know how you can get a longer silence than you would ever want? when a professor asks "do you have any questions" again the answer is in the eye brows, sir madam… I appreciate the generosity of my professor to ask us, but where and which question do I begin with? This diagram feels more like art that I can't comprehend, than science… for all my friends who are trying to understand the concepts being delivered to you, just remember 1 thing. Professional major league baseball players whose average annual salary is $4.4 M dollars, get to be a professional by hitting the baseball 3 times in every 10 throws. so give yourself a chance by plan act and reflecting each class and module you complete, and move those eyebrows with conviction that you can learn anything you want to. Whether that be art or science, you are genius. you can tell by how genius someone is by what they laugh at, so if you didn't laugh at anything here, check yoself before you wreck yoself, boiiiiii https://thelearningcode.school.blog/ Plan Act Reflect Video - https://youtu.be/XJ-NlQKVbnc
