Does problem-based learning (PBL), combined with Web2.0 technologies move us a little further towards the goal of student-centred self-directed learning?
What do you need to know when starting as a university student? This deck will help you understand important academic, social, personal (physical and mental health), and financial aspects of your time in college or university.
This was prepared originally for students in Indiana University’s Intensive Freshman Seminar. While there are IU-specific references here, they should translate well to other universities (particularly in the US).

Every student is in college to learn something that will help them live a better life. The sad reality is that most students have never been taught how the brain actually learns. Why not use our understanding of the human brain to make sure that you study better, learn smarter, and increase the odds that you achieve your dreams.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

When I am at a spot along this path, I couldn’t see or have any idea 2 steps ahead. It isn’t until you take that next step that you can see one more step in the future.
For issues, but also when you don’t have issues. First try to solve yourself, but don’t spin your wheels long. There are people who like to help out. And there are people who are experts in this specific area.
Figure out a thing. Then 6 weeks later you can’t remember and have to figure it out again. Notes, then notes with screenshots, then blogs, then presentations
