As far as I know, homework is still mandatory in my county

in middle and high school, homework was only mandatory if the teachers bothered to check

needless to say, i barely ever did my homework

and what i did do, i just did during class

fuck doing shit at home

I had assignments I had to hand in always, but homework was seperate

homework was a list of questions you were told to do, and I never did them

math wise anyways

I don't think I had homeowork in any other subject

my teachers always checked homework...

Even in university I did not do practice problems beyond things that were actually assigned for grades, so I realize I just don't like the concept of homework

its good for people who need to learn that way, I don't

We'd have problem sets in math (out of the textbook) that were optional

But homework was 100% mandatory

Maybe occasionally it would be ungraded, but if you didn't do it they'd find a way to fuck you

Needless to say

I almost never did my homework

lol

Teachers would rarely grade homework but they always checked to see if you did it

I don't remember anything regarding elementary school homework

I can't recall elementary completely either, but I know I had massive amounts of homework from engineering classes in college

Elementary school is the only one I actually remember having homework for

they'd give out work sheets

We had this math program in highschool that would autograde our math homework

I had that in college, not high school

and to say your homework was complete you needed to get 70% correct

I took nearly all advanced courses in high school so I had plenty of homework

I guess my problem is I do not consider assignments to be the same thing as homework, homework kind of implies optional to me

or not graded at least

what

homework is any work you do not in class

I use the terms differently

idk

home...work... work at home

Yes

feels self explanatory

I understand what it is called and why it is called that

in any case, assignments then, still mandatory work

I agree with Pika's naming

homework to me was busy work, while assignments are actual work

homework feels more like busy work

see, polu gets it

I don't get it, those are literal synonyms to me, but ok

I agree that language wise, they literally are

homework and assignments are synonyms I mean, not busy work

but the use case of how I use them is different

homework was what you'd use to get students to learn (if they needed it), assignments was to make the students prove that they learned

I definitely had lots of busy work assignments in high school

If something was optional or just recommended, it wouldn't be called homework

Was never*

in college math courses I had optional stuff called homework

Kindergarten through college for me

Yeah, same leg

I never had optional homework in college. Only required assignments.

Some classes would post optional homework "do these problems from the textbook"

Which I would of course never do

I internalize math by doing it so I would

Yeah thats fair. I do not learn that way so I don't

We had lots of optional stuff, just interesting it was never called homework

My philosophy is "If I cannot do this by reviewing the theory, I do not understand it enough anyways" So I never do practice problems (or really review particular problems)

pika do you use spherical harmonics?

I haven't since I did quantum theory like 4ish years ago

but I have done stuff with them

ok, i've been using them

the stuff I have been working with required explicit references to group theory to explain properly

Yeah, that makes sense

the periodicities of the sphere are weird

I didn't do any group theory stuff, but usually that is the stuff swept under the rug that you take for granted learning it for the first time

for convolution on a sphere you need to know what every possible rotation on the sphere is and how the orthogonal decomposition is affected by every rotation

I didn't know that since I do not do much convolution stuff, but that makes sense

I also found a method to generalize the harmonics to arbitrary degree and order in the complex field, but I have no use for it

i had homework starting at like grade 3 or 4, and it was all graded. you would fail a class if you did not do enough of your homework, test scores alone were not enough. had homework for multiple subjects almost every day.

we are so back

I hate PopularMMOs because a lot of people thought my name came from his pet creeper named Bomby (I've never watched him before, but this name is older, I swear)

Brutal lore drop

Don't worry, there's a Kribbles online who draws pony porn and I had to snipe kribbles.net from him

There's a vinny out there who did inappropriate acts with a minor, it's a scary place out there
