They have an inverted teaching model. The students are given a syllabus and self-learn, teachers largely just run "what did you get stuck with?" sessions. Which rapidly selects for self-motivsting and engaged students who are a joy to work with. They also emphasise team projects to get work ready

I worried similarly but 16 months in I'm happily doing hobby projects and giving back a bit as a volunteer teacher/mentor for codeyourfuture.io which is very rewarding. Feel free to join us!

If you are you are not alone.

Maybe someone has added the misspelling to the university spellchecker as the wrong spelling occurs in the course summary of a module about, ironically, misinformation.

Ignoring the spelling, what's it even supposed to mean? Surely there are easier ways to advertise that you're trying to fill a vacant copywriter position?

Should bluesky be offended it's not on the list?

Still not clear how 6 years late is "green"

Are CCC using it as an excuse to do no repairs in the meantime? Seems like it 😢

Good to get an update, but why is Madingley Road taking so long to happen? If it's not being done until 2028 can we use some of last year's £14M underspend to fill some of the potholes in it before then? And how can it be in category Green if it is 6 years late? Loving the greenways though!

"their career would probably progress faster if they put more effort into interacting with others on the team". Review done. You're welcome! 😁

And bear in mind that (this is staggering, but numbers from cdc.gov) US adults (18-64) ED attendance rate is around 21% per year, and admission to hospital is 5% per year. So the 5M users will have 1M ED visits, and 250k admissions. Of the Ozempic user admissions, about 1 in 60 is due to Ozempic.

Correction - 5 million users in 2023

So 4375 hospitalizations over 2 years for about 3 million users? That sounds pretty safe compared to the number of hospitalisations otherwise occurring from T2D and obesity-related cardio-vascular and other problems? Or is that your point? [couldn't access the full-text]

Any measure will get gamed. If the measure was aggregate net change in quality adjusted years of live then the 50% op could still be attractive. And if it's not, why do it?

For an open platform with a wide audience I can't help feeling that expanding IIT and NCC might increase engagement. Because without that I've got no idea what you're talking about.
