Last class, I spoke too much. Today, three times over, I will give you an instruction, you will crew up, enter the shanties, and produce a product, in a timely fashion. We will cover three topics today, so the only time for breaks today will be in the shanties, when your crewmates can cover you.
Here are today’s topics:
lots of action ready to go
Welcome GCP 04-22! Our launch today is my last voyage captaining a 2021 worker education class, making me un peu pensive.
Why I chose a career in worker education is that I despise cubicles. For the last decade, I have been in classrooms where most of us felt the same. A couple of months after COVID hit, under duress, I set sail aboard a raft I named the ubercrawl with BCP 134.
Unlike most experiences my colleagues suffered, trades math, instilled with labor traditions, shone bright as my lodestar. Every iteration, every upgrade, my raft evolved into the battleship we now crew.
No matter what happens next year and beyond, I know my starry ship will be retired. Which make this voyage, for me, rather poignant.
I hear good things about your crew, and will make an exception to my ship’s rules, a query: what would you like to learn about green trades math? Please post a reply, as a comment, below.

Updated update! 9/29: Click on ‘final grades’ to see what you got right/wrong. Ms. Kim has your course scores. Any questions for me, I’ll be looking at the ‘typos’. But not now! The ubercrawl will be docked the rest of the week. Radar will be back up next Monday.

Update noon 9/27: The blueprint, percent, units and carbon footprint homeworks have been assessed and uploaded to the grades page. Tomorrow I will update everything prior to the midterm.
Update noon 9/24: All links are clean, reference materials on the side menu, carbon footprint and answer forms are all up. All typos so far have been answered.
The ubercrawl backend broke before class tonight: my SQL database was flagged for excessive content, so had to reup my contract. Just for you guys! lol
