Barzun's Laws of Learning The simple but difficult arts of paying attention, copying accurately, following an argument, detecting an ambiguity or a false inference, testing guesses by summoning up contrary instances, organizing one's time and one's thought for study -- all these arts -- cannot be taught in the air but only through the difficulties of a defined subject. They cannot be taught in one course or one year, but must be acquired gradually in dozens of connections.
Learning • Learn by experience. How hard is it to work in a team? Why? What will you do different next time? • CS425 is also an introduction to teamwork, CS426 is about using your CS425 experience. • Will not count assignment 8 (unit tested code) • Assignment 9 will be graded on Demo.
Working in Teams is hard • Paying attention • Following an argument (discussion of pros and cons) • Detecting an ambiguity or a false inference • Testing guesses by summoning up contrary instances • Making the case for a design decision • Recognizing team member strengths
Working in an organization • Documentation instead of repeated teaching • Write well. Lists are useful in technical docs • Presentations • Speak well. Pictures are worth … • Making the case • Cogent, logical, arguments • Independence • Learn on your own. What would you like to hear? • What should I do? • Which alternative is best?
