I know. I was clowning on the dude mad about the arrows by offering one of numerous other meanings outside Boolean Algebra that sounded even more absurd in that context.

If I know the video, it is mildly disturbing mostly due to the sudden death. The stallion stiffens and collapses after the mare brains him and the person filming happened to capture a lot of detail of the dying CNS including the stallion’s face.

What, your lab doesn’t make jerky out of organs before weighing them?

If you mean grades, I’d encourage you to disentangle your own retrospective self-evaluation. The point is learning, which is ultimately a personal journey. Grades are just an institutional proxy for learning outcomes, and when some students can afford private tutors when others have to work third shift to remain enrolled, the currency isn’t fungible. That is, grades are buttons and bottle caps. Learning, curiosity, discovery, and knowledge, for its own sake, is the only true currency in education.

Never let school get in the way of your education.

Caveat: I’ve said this brashly to several deans, when it seemed appropriately inappropriate, and while a few are now good friends, the others acted troubled and now seem to avoid me. That is, YMMV. Some lifer academics may not understand when you disregard the only rubrics they know.

Implications or assignment? They didn’t specify notation.
