Redirecting a PreTeXt book
# FIRST, copy (not move) your HTML into the desired directory you wish to redirect to using your filesystem
# you can delete any non-HTML files at the original location, at least, only HTML can be redirected

# relative path to redirected HTML from current, default assumes move from ./docs to ./docs/archive-2021

Simplified castle panic (for 3yo)

Setup

  • Place six towers and six walls in the center of the board.
  • Find 5 Goblin tokens, 3 Orc tokens, and 2 Troll tokens. Return the other tokens to the box.
  • Shuffle the tokens and place them facedown next to the board.
  • Roll the die. Ignoring the Forest ring, place a random token face-up on the outermost ring of that die's wedge, pointing the highest number corner towards the center (its hit points).
    • If the wedge is full, re-roll the die and try again.
  • Create a shuffled deck of only Swordsman, Knight, Archer, Hero, and Barbarian cards. Return the other cards to the box.

blog post draft: balancing encouragement of on-time submissions with grace for work submitted late

If you're reading this, I probably don't need to convince you of the value of having grace for late submissions, both ethically and pedagogically, but if I do, I'll let David and Robert take the wheel: GradingForGrowth.com

That said, a common concern folks share with me: since it's still better for students to not leave all their required work for the last minutes of a course, how can I balance this grace with encouragement of sticking to the pace of the course as best as a student can? Indeed, I personally can attest to my early days of alternative grading where I goofed on this a bit, and found myself in the final week of a course with over a dozen students lined out my office door hoping to reassess particular learning outcomes from throughout the semester. But I've designed enough bad courses, puzzles, and games to know that coming up with a policy that tries to guess how many "tries" a student should be able to have at demonstrating their learning is a tough, if not imp

Use an appropriate substitution and evaluate the definite integral

$$I = \int_1^e \frac{1}{x(\ln x + 1)^2} dx$$
