MATH1241 Higher Mathematics 1B students were recently asked to write a few words about the online aspects of course, in the form of a haiku, which is a type of traditional Japanese poetry consisting of short 5, 7, and 5 syllable lines.

The students were promised that their poetry would be published as news on the School's website.... and here it is. We hope you like it.

In response to a few of the comments, Jonathan has cancelled his haircut. The "How did I do?" button has been promoted to Professor, and Daniel has refused to tone down the shirts.

 

You in a boy band?
Has it no name? How about
the zero vectors

-------

Maple has been very
much improved this semester.
But I am still not

A fan of online
homework. New technology
often frightens me.

-------

Daniel, Norman, Jon;
Online tutes are well recieved;
with "How did i do?"

In semester 1;
They felt more like assessments;
and not didactic.

Of the new system;
I definitely approve;
and I hope it stays;

For all your hard work;
I give you my thanks, regards,
Dimitriadis.

-------

New UI is sleak,
'How did I do?' saves much time,
Pls gif more survey. <3

-------

To Daniel, Norman,
and Jonathon, thank you for,
the "How did I do?".

"How did I do?" is,
love, "How did I do?" is life,
I love this button.

I learn more in the,
maple quizzes than I do,
in the math lectures.

The booked maple quiz,
I really super don't like,
don't make us do it :(.

Perhaps consider,
adding more hints in,
the tougher questions.

Why isn't Daniel,
my math lecturer, he is,
a good math tutor.

Are you sick of my,
bad Haikus yet? I can go,
on and on and on.

--------

Many gracious thanks
to 'How did I do?' so now
I'll tie with Michael.

--------

1241 with
maple TA could be good
if answers were right

--------

Good internet tutes
The questions are helpful but
Your jokes aren't funny

Seriously, what
Is with that log cabin
Spare us the bad puns

--------

Here is your feedback,
I do like the new Maple,
I like it, I said.

When you compare it
To the Maple from last sem,
This one wins by far.

I think it's mainly
The 'How did I do?' button,
The rest is good too.

--------

I don't like maple
It takes too much of my time
makes me a hermit

-------

I Like the button
That tells me I did real good
It means I do good

I like the jokes;
Please keep the "How did I do?";
Refrigerator;

--------

I r8 8 per 8
Please continue this system
I love it longtime

--------

I tried to do math
It got very difficult
But I did finish

All these ODE
Got me all confused and stressed
But I tamed this beast

--------

If ever I'm stuck,
I use the evident clue,
Called "How did i do?"

Comparing this to
Math 1141's Maple
This is better, yes.

Thank you so so much,
Thank you Daniel, Norman and,
Also Jonathan.

---------

I know it takes time,
But explanations online,
From Youtube, sublime.

And if possible,
I formally request that,
More clips are made, thanks.

----------


Love this smooth banter,
From the Mathematics Crowd,
Integrate Don't Hate.

----------

Making due dates
More clear so as to not miss
any assignments

----------

Maple become good;
How did I do is awesome
My pee pee shines bright.

Maple syrup good
Learning maths is super fun
Combine two is great

Maple, my sensei.
You are always there for me.
Please teach me more math.

-----------

Mathematics fun,
tutorials are awesome,
videos are too

----------

Much better this sem,
Sometimes feedback doesn't work,
Overall well done!

----------

new, exciting tests
i like the new template now
looks very modern

No more mistakes please,
I get scared without twenties,
Thanks for the hard work

--------

No one subspace
Along this partial but I,
This differential nullity.

--------

Online assessment
I love you so much better
Then I did last time

-------

Online quizzes have
Taught me interesting things but
Questions are unclear

-------

Press 'How did I do?'
The answer is incorrect
Press 'How did I do?'

Problems with maple
Have left since the big update
No issues so far

Really really really good
I like it a lot
It works well

--------

Takes too much effort,
to write feedback in haiku -
just like these questions.

--------

What I like in UNSWmath?
N.Wildberger's YT vids, J.Kress's hair and
D.Mansfield's imposing shirts

--------

The "How did I do?"
Should move, as we scroll, down too
Scrolling back up sucks

----

Change the date format
From Month/Day back to Day/Month
It is confusing

-----

The quiz selection
Could be made much more compact
Like last semester

I should clarify
You're wasting screen real-estate
With ugly newlines

-------

The online math tuts;
Apply the lecture content;
And help us revise;

-------

Tutorials fine;
Above is not a haiku;
Try harder next time.

-------

What is a haiku?
I thought I'm in maths right now.
Should I switch to Arts?

-------

Let's learn calculus!
"Differential equations."
... can I stop now please?

Now try algebra!
Kernel, rank and nullity -
Harder than I thought.

In all honesty -
Though it pains me to admit -
Maths is pretty fun.

--------

You should not expect
To receive useful feedback
In a haiku form

--------

You spelled haiku wrong
Not hikau or hiaku
Every time haha.

-------

Owls are really cool,
That's unrelated to math,
But owls are quite nice.
