Now I know my ABCs.

What do you think of me?


That is the beginning.

For a select few of us...

It ends with writing War and Peace.

The rest of us function effectively somewhere in-between.
That's great because the above is LEARNING not TEACHING. You think the teacher teaching the kids the ABCs is a wonderful teacher because he/she can recite the ABCs?

My wife is a very good Kindergarten teacher, and a tremendous amount of her elementary education training was memorization work. Sure she learned how to communicate and apply the material and even learned special needs teaching tecniques, but I can assure you she would laugh in my face if I suggested that memorization had absolutely nothing to do with her being a good teacher. She would look pretty foolish if she had to lookup what letter comes after "A" everytime she wanted to teach her students the alphabet.

I'm out.
Every open book exam I ever had in college were extremely difficult but it wasn't because of the material in the book but what wasn't in the book that need to be applied. Every see a lawyer work without a open book, he knows every passage it contains, yet it yields no answers by itself.

The AI exam is NOT this type of exam. At least the way it was once given.

And ever since web sites like Yoda's, Evan's old site and the original TGM home office forum - many could pass the Level One A & B test and never hurt the spine of the book in the process. Yoda is now the "learning experience."

The GOLFING MACHINE would be NOTHING without AIs able to speak the same language even if they only speak it with other AIs.

When I taught at the college level, and when I teach/mentor programmers here at work, I find that memorization is critical both for me and the students. There is no comparison between those who do and those who don't memorize the key concepts, terms, etc...

On that note, I will be diving deeper into TGM this coming year. I believe your 10 steps is the structured plan I need to start laying a foundation for this effort. Are there any other materials and/or steps you'd recommend I study as I get into this?

Could someone break down Happy Gilmore's action? Anything nonstandard?

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
