大學的隱藏學分

王宏恩 (FB 貼文)

芝加哥經濟博士候選人一篇超酷的論文：《大學的隱藏學分 The Hidden Curriculum》。為何家裡第一個上大學的學生，表現往往不如家裡父母輩也有上過大學的學生 (GPA 低 6%、找到實習的機率低 3%)？

The Effective Executive

Peter F. Drucker, The Effective Executive: The Definitive Guide to Getting the Right Things Done, HarperCollins Publishers, January 3, 2006.

齊若蘭譯，杜拉克談高效能的5個習慣，遠流，2009

The measure of the executive, Peter F. Drucker reminds us, is the ability to "get the right things done." This usually involves doing what other people have overlooked as well as avoiding what is unproductive. Intelligence, imagination, and knowledge may all be wasted in an executive job without the acquired habits of mind that mold them into results.

Nonlinear Optimization (非線性最佳化)

• Course objective: Nonlinear optimization is widely used in engineering, business, data science, and machine learning. We will introduce fundamental algorithms through examples in this course, enabling students to read research articles, formulate their own problems, and solve them efficiently using the appropriate algorithms.

下廚

對我而言，煮飯是讓腦袋和眼睛休息的好方法、也可以半蹲切菜以活動筋骨。當然，用料也比較健康。

整個過程也和做研究是一樣的，如何修正火候和配料、觀察結果、再持續改善；菜色也要持續變化，想辦法創新。煎魚的時候，為了避免想要一直翻面的缺點，就設定鬧鐘，避免人為疏失。

最重要的是，夫人不斷地鼓勵與正向回饋，令人有成就感。

愛爾蘭咖啡 (老婆送的威士忌、女兒送的低咖啡因咖啡，兩位摯愛送的最愛，很容易醉。我已經記下，下次要記得買鮮奶油。)
