Week ???

Unfortunately, I don't have much to write about this week.

For the past few days, I've been running moss on student projects for the course I TA for. I'm not sure if the shift to online learning has something to do with it, but it looks like we have a lot more cases in which moss has flagged submissions for review.

Some of the submissions I have reviewed are quite blatantly cases of misconduct (e.g. multiple lines of identical code, not even with changes to variable names or control-flow), while others are harder to decipher. This is possibly one of the worst parts of not just being a teaching assistant, but being an educator in general.


I expect the last few weeks of the term to be incredibly hectic. CPSC 509 has a take-home exam at the end of the term that I'm incredibly anxious of (homework for that class take me a non-trivial amount of time to complete), our CPSC 547 (InfoVis) needs a bit more polish, and I wonder if our project is complex enough to be deemed a project of adequate scope. I don't even want to think about CPSC 513 (formal verification), but at least we're closer to an idea than we were last week.

Hopefully I'll have something more to write about next week.
