It used to be this way in Western countries, too. Anyone here read Kiplings' Gods of the Copybook Headings (especially the last verses)?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

IMHO, it still is in good educational institutions. BTW, the video if from a Harvard Extension course, not Harvard's standard CS degree program. Although I'm partial to MIT - their CS program rocks hugely. Here's[^] their version of CS 101 (jumped to clock time 16:15).

I sit corrected.
My basic assertion, however, still stands. I have some of my father's high-school mathematics books (from the 1950s), which are of higher standard than my high-school books (from the 1980s), which are again - of higher standard than books used by high-school students today.
The only consistent improvement in the books is in the layout - a matter of form over substance.

Math had to change, because it is a cruel discipline with teachers only allowing one anwser to be right.
That's mean-spirited.
Math should be graded more like term papers:
58% for style
27% for speling and gramar
17% for length (longer the better, cuz teacher doesn't readz, TL;DR)
32% for proper formatting
7% for content
Yes, you've been trolled, those numbers don't add up to 100%.
That's because our students here at Boffo Academy of Intelligentsia go beyond 100%.

Silly me! I thought it was because of the New Math!

Maybe he is still drunk (see his last post below).

That's pretty much required practice for setting CCC's isn't it?

Due to workforce "right sizing" in my compnay, I have been asked to take extra responsibilty for maintaining our sharepoint site and enhancing it further.
Company has asked me if I can work on HTML programming and support Sharepoint maintainance. I have said Yes but have informed that I lack the technical expertise.
They asked me what training I need to take and will allocate some budget for it.
So can someone please let me know, if you had a first hand experience (or recomend) with a training program (instructor led)which will help me. I prefer the location in Germany or europe with English language. Worst Case scenario is location in USA.
Any feedback is welcome.
cheers,
Super

Here is an excellent site for videos : SharePoint Videos
