“When asked, ‘How do you write?’ I invariably answer, ‘One word at a time.’” - Stephen King
Class Information: Section number WC1, Online, Central Park Campus
Special Considerations for Online Students: Because this class has no face-to-face component, your primary
method of receiving information will be through text. You must read all course materials thoroughly and carefully.
You also need to check course materials and email regularly (I’d suggest at least twice a week), which naturally
requires a computer with internet access. If you don’t have one at home, I highly recommend choosing a study
location where you can access one (library, home of a friend or relative, etc.) and planning to spend a lot of time
there over the course of the semester. We do not have a strict schedule in which everyone is expected to be online
at specific times, but all students are expected actively participate in class activities.
Technology Requirements: To successfully complete this course, students must have ready access to a computer
with internet access and access to Blackboard. Students should also know how to send emails, attach files to emails
and discussion board posts, and type and save documents in Microsoft Word or a similar word processing
program.
Netiquette: Part of your evaluation will include work done in online class environments (Blackboard and
TurnItIn.com). The activities in which you participate in our online class space should be conducted as if you were
in a classroom. Be courteous to your fellow students and to your instructor. In discussion board posts, emails, and
other online exchanges, I expect you to use the sort of written language I would see in an essay that you would turn
in for a grade: no IM-speak, no slang, no all-caps, no no-caps. I don’t have problems with the occasional emoticon,
but just make sure that everyone can understand the point you are trying to communicate.
Course Description: Intensive study of and practice in the strategies and techniques for developing research
based expository and persuasive texts. Emphasis on effective and ethical rhetorical inquiry, including primary and
secondary research methods; critical reading of verbal, v ...

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
