Student "edition" found at {csi dot journalspace dot com}.

Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

I just got first hand proof again that my friends do not read what's written in this online journal, preferring the accessibility, exposition and relative shallowness of the version for the students.

But it only takes a few seconds to scan if the entire post is technical right?

That's why I keep the post length to a maximum of one page down daily.

Because personally, a person who writes regularly (almost everyday) should not expect people to spend more than a quarter of an hour each day reading about what happened in their lives or their thoughts on this or that esoteric subject.

The rare super significant event in one's life that has to be described in minute and excruciating detail is fine, but only if it's once in a blue moon.

Now I'm faced again with the possibility that maybe there should not be anything that the students should not know, that there aren't any "trade secrets" that only teachers can share.

Maybe being prepared in class by not knowing all of the teachers' "tricks" isn't in anymore. But then again, exactly how many fellow instructors (even not from my own neck of the woods) read this chronicle anyway? So I'm just talking to dead electrons.

As always, this is all rhetorical anyway. The people I'm trying to reach with this complaint aren't reading it in any case.

Maybe I'll stop at the second millennium count, and concentrate my efforts on just one online journal. That way it'll be back to the easier to figure one-day-equals-one-post count.

Tomorrow I may talk about the "new and improved" academic advising rules.

Session 1905 believes information disclosure to the students should be absolute. Class dismissed.
