Syllabi

Why the titles are not subject names but some weird goals kind of thing?

I always had issues relating what I am studying to how I am going to use it. A foolish attempt to resolve this is to mention the why of the syllabus instead of the syllabus name(subject). Also it’s easier to tell the why then to assign a subject because the resources I have under them are somewhat unstructured.

Whenever I have a new information resource, I categorize it at entry. It can go under any one of these:

I try my best to not repeat links across these pages. I have not setup any automated link checker for either duplication/backlinks/linkrots etc.

This is my syllabi created in October'22.
