Why I hate grades, part 1: We shouldn't combine all the behavior and learning for 1 class into a single 1 letter, and it's ridiculous to average grades from different years and subjects. We need a system that rewards students for progress

I'm trying to make graphs of every topic on Jeopardy, and this time I did a couple for golf. This is the list of golfers who were mentioned more than once and one a Major. Data is from PGA and J-Archive and I made the graphics in Affinity. #golf #dataviz #jeopardy

As proud as I was to add my name to the list of Utah PAEMST winners, I was disappointed to see I will be the last. Thanks to Talia Milgrom-Elcott for including my thoughts here, and to my wife for reminding me I'm too old to say I made @Forbes "under 30." https://t.co/uJcfHeqbHQ

Is now the time to rethink "grade inflation"?

Part 2: GPA incentivizes students to take fewer risks and hurts their relationships with teachers. We need a better system that rewards students for progress and skill mastery across the grades.

I’ve been trying to study every Boxing clue that has shown up on Jeopardy! Based on my research, I decided to make three charts of what I found interesting. The data is from J-Archive, BoxRec, and IMDb. I used DataWrapper and Affinity Designer to make the graphics.

Some other general science channels you probably know are @SciShow, @okaytobesmart, @RealScienceYT, and @tweetsauce , who is another creator that has taken a break to focus on his subscription business (Curiosity Box). Let me know if I missed any of your favorites! 19/19

@3Blue1Brown often brings Physics into his math videos. @SlowMotionGuys has excellent clips for a Physics class. Other smaller Physics/Engineering channels worth checking out are Up and Atom, Alpha Phoenix, Science Asylum, Fermilab, @RealEngYT, and Engineer Guy. 18/x

Even in her early videos, she had great explanations of Turbulence, Resonance, Mirrors, Polarization, Buoyancy, Touch screens, and Laser cooling. 17/x https://t.co/ITGFXHqoac

@thephysicsgirl also started with the help of PBS but then became independent. She has been suffering from Long Covid for 2 years, but amazingly she has just returned to walking and talking independently. 16/x https://t.co/7rC8p42fsX

@PBSSpaceTime is amazing for Quantum and Astrophysics, just look at any of their playlists. They used to do more questions and answers, and my physics class was featured at the end of this video! 15/x

The way chains siphon out of a container was even named after him. He has excellent videos on Tensegrity, Oscillations, Angular Momentum, LEDs, Resonance, Laser Interference, Hearing, Gravitational Waves, and Inverted Bubbles. 14/x https://t.co/TkE7oP97Bg

@MouldS is not as well-known as Derek or Destin, but he should be! His transparent models of siphons and fluid systems are incredible for understanding household objects. 13/x https://t.co/buhNulytBv

Practical Engineering explains civil infrastructure, like Stabilized Earth, Water Towers, and the Power Grid with physics equations to explain what is happening. I can’t imagine teaching a unit on Pressure without his videos. 12/x

@theactionlabman has thrived by making short clips with clickbait titles that bring people into his full videos. I really enjoy his simple experiments on Relative Motion, Mirrors, Perpetual Motion, and Infrared. 11/x

Some of my favorites are about Hollow Earth, Flat Solar System, Bell’s Theorem, Special Relativity, Magnets, Topography, Antimatter, Lasers, Sprinting vs. Falling, Light Bulb Types, and Diffraction Resolution. 10/x

@MinutePhysics made short-form videos before it was cool. His videos have gotten longer and much less frequent, but I have really enjoyed the spinoff channels about Earth science and Food. 9/x
