Exams & Diversity

I’m a TA for a lower-division Computer Science course here at my university. Proctored some midterms yesterday, got bored and decided to do a little count.

107 students taking the midterm, only 20 women. I know that Computer Science is a male-dominated field but it makes me sad when I actually bother to count.

#to be clear this was a rough count and was based on quick judgements of people from far away #definitely did not capture people's gender identities but it's probably fairly close #computer science #women in stem #women in computing #the funny thing is that 2/3rds of the proctoring TAs were women

Getting friends in to musicals is hard because when they ask what it’s about you have to be like “15 year olds having sex” or “a plant from outer space that takes over the world” or “teenagers killing people for fun” or “Alexander Hamilton”

So, like, cats. But people … sort of. And there’s a lottery at the end where one of them can die. No, it’s really sweet.

You know, a month ago it would not have occurred to me to wish for the angry ghost of Alexander Hamilton to rise from the grave and challenge the entire legislative branch to a rap battle. But here we are, and I super, super wish for that.

In grade school, I wrote research papers by asking questions and then looking up the answers. In college, I wrote research papers by already knowing the answers and Googling for reputable sources who agreed with me.
