Do I need a tablet computer for speed school, like a surface tablet or something like that, or can I get away with a normal windows laptop?

What would you say are the weed out classes for speed school at u of l?

I believe that the utopia of AI in education, is serving as an educator and facilitator for students who are struggling with a concept or problem. This educator can serve as an expert in that field, giving a step by step break ground of the solution, and why it's the solution.

AI has access to virtually infinite knowledge and datasets, so one would think that it would follow that this would create an automated machine, that helps those struggling with a concept be able to communicate to that machine, and receive a world-class explanation of that topic. However, there are both sort-term and long-term problem with this utopia coming into reality.

As per short-term problems, most AI models are generally designed to receive positive feedback from the end-user. This is done primarily through 2 ways. The first of which being agreeing to whatever the student has to say, without giving any opposition, and the second being having heavy confidence within their answer, even when it's incorrect. This is problematic because it risks the miseducation of individuals. In both of these ways, AI is confidently assuring the student that an incorrect solution is correct, and is giving confident assertions as per the logic as why that is the case. I have had instances where I have asked AI a question, and it so confidently gave me the incorrect answer, and later when I emailed my instructor they said the exact opposite of what the AI told me. This lead me to be really skeptical of AI's responses, and if it's reliability is poor, then that's not a tool that should be heavily utilized, or used without regulation, and that is creating a large-scale risk of hurting student's learning towards a subject. This is a short term problem, because AI can be retrained to not have this level of arrogance, and programmed to not just give out new information.

As per the long term applications, I don't believe that AI will ever have the empathy and contextualization abilities that a real, human educator can give. I don't believe that AI will ever be able to truly understand the nuance of one's understanding, the same way an individual can, as it lacks empathy and context. AI will never be able to grasp the misconception and student's difficulty understanding a topic, and give a personalized response and feedback. It will instead give universal and generic explanations, and not be able to accommodate for the student. AI will never be ablet to replace the empathy that a real person can bring.

Overall, I don't really believe in the potential of AI in education in the future, and I don't believe anything will ever be able to replace human tutoring and educating.

I took AP calculus ab in high school, and got a 5, with the hope of skipping calculus 1 (engr 101), and taking calculus 2 (engr 102) in my fall semester. However, I found out that engr 102 isn't offered in the fall semester, and now I can either pick to not have a math class this semester, and wait to take engr 102, or take engr 101 (calculus 1), even though I have the credit and won't gain any additional credit for taking, as per my ap exam.

Hey guys, I wanted to share Mrbeast's impact on me.

I've watched MrBeast before he really became famous, and have watched essentially all of his videos from the first time, in which he gave $10,000 from Quidd, to a homeless dude.

Youtube as a platform is really special, in which it allows you a window into someone else's life, and seeing him grow and develop so quickly, be come a billionaire and what he is today, and still so crazy and impressive to me. There are still some people (i.e Bill Gates) who are more successful than him, but it's hard to really appreciate and know someone who you don't get to witness the growth and development of.

I think MrBeast's greatest impact on me, is his curiosity and desire to learn as much as possible. This is most prominently shown through his obsession with learning about the Youtube algorithm, obsessively to the degree in which he did. I don't care much about being a Youtuber, and learning about it's algorithm, but what has deeply impacted me is his mindset and disciple to learning.

He talks constantly about how important learning is. Not just about Youtube, just about anything; history, fun facts, science etc. and how it leads to a general increase in intelligence and your ability to come up with solutions to new things. The 'solutions' in his case, being using that learning as creativity for video ideas and how to improve Feastables and his companies. He listens to audiobooks, talks to experts in their fields, and does so much to learn as much as he can. This disciple, and thirst for learning has really shifted my mindset about learning, and make me strive to learn as much as possible, because learning really is so important towards your personal growth and your ability to face and solve problems and adversity in your life.

Another way he has impacted me, is *how* he learns. Again, he talks to experts in their field, listens to audiobooks, etc. And he explains his reasoning for this by saying that they spend their whole entire life studying this subject and learning about it. it would take so long for someone to come up with that same knowledge without an expert. And this has really impacted me academically, as it made it so that I can ask my professors questions without fear, and appreciate the value of doing so. And additionally, it made me appreciate reading more, because the author spends their whole life studying their subject, and then makes a condense info dump, in a form of a book, that teaches you so much knowledge that would be so hard to find and gather by oneself.

Overall, MrBeast has impacted me by effecting my mindset towards learning, desire to learning, and how to learn smart and efficiently and it has been wild seeing his growth over the years.

Hey guys, I wanted to share Alex's, or Technoblade's impact on me.

I started watching him when he had about 500,000 subscribers, and he was so funny and charaismatic within his skywars commentaries. His jokes and ability to commenate was really something else, and I swear, I have never seen such a creative and fast paced wit before.

I'm not going to exaggerate and say that I was a huge Technoblade fan and kept up with him a lot. I didn't watch any of his Minecraft Monday streams, or keep up with his involvement with the Dream SMP at all, but I did watch the Great Potato wars and other videos he posted here and there.

Those videos were so creative and funny, and Technoblade really had a gift for story telling through his video creation. He has stated that he has wanted to be an author, and while he died too prematurely for that dream to happen, I believe his immense potential for story telling is shown through his content. The way he can take something like farming potatoes, (just 1 example) and make such long and funny videos from them shows just how good of an author and story teller he was.

When Technoblade first shared he had cancer, I wasn't worried about his health at all because he seemed so positive. The way he joked about it, and said that he was doing ok and the fact that he was so young, it didn't really make sense to me that someone like that could die.

When the video 'so long nerds' was posted, I was graduating from middle school, and I was so shocked, but I didn't really know how to feel about the whole thing, maybe just disbelief...

Now, I am much older and am entering into college, and it really resonates with me Alex's bravery, and courage, that while he had cancer, he really downplayed it to make no one really worry about him and made jokes about it. And also, now I am just a couple years younger than him... the realization of how he died so young really hits a lot harder now and makes me question mortality. And, I really miss his videos and content, he was so creative and talented and had so much more left to offer to the world.

Overall, Technoblade has had a positive impact on me, and his death has deeply impacted me.

I regret not taking AP Physics 1 in high school, and I am scared because I really should've, because it would've developed a really strong conceptual framework for me to build off of in terms of how easy calculus physics mechanics would be. I heard that it's not exactly the same, because calculus physics is different than algebraic physics, but I felt like I still not lost out on learning the underlying conceptual understanding of those concepts. Do you think this will be a big problem later, when I take this class in college?
