@yakmacker@society.kalli.st @prettygood@socially.drinkingatmy.computer lots of college requirements are very patchwork. I remember entering machine learning class very rusty on my calf and linear algebra and feeling very embarrassed and afraid to let the teacher know so I just l spent a lot of time reading textbooks and asking llms.

    @KaiserKitty@clubcyberia.co @yakmacker@society.kalli.st @prettygood@socially.drinkingatmy.computer i literally dont understand how yous and your niggardly genes survived to this point. It is boomer tradition that if you want a skill and someone has that skill, its not a "oh please sir will you teach me uwu", youre robbing that bitch., You are taking his skills to lower the value of his labor and he hates you, so you annoy, extort, bribe, cajole, and manipulate to extract those skills from that asshole

    @KaiserKitty@clubcyberia.co @prettygood@socially.drinkingatmy.computer yeah college courses being that way is a well known problem. I think partly it's because profs expect undergrads to be like grad students, who can be reasonably expected to teach themselves things. But most undergrads don't have the confidence to do that and/or go to office hours. There is sort of a meme among calc teachers that a lot of our students don't know how to add fractions. The reality is that most of them do know how to do it, they just haven't done it in a while, didn't do it many times when they did do it, and have low confidence in their own ability. It just takes a lot of prompting .
