Portal talk:Foreign Language Learning

I'm not sure, but this page seems to be in competition with Topic:Language Acquisition. Should the two be merged? - Trevor MacInnis 20:47, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

 * The School of Language and Literature is part of the Humanities. The School of Foreign Language Learning is part of the Practical Arts and Sciences. The School of Linguistics is part of the Social Sciences. These three schools should cooperate and avoid duplication of effort. --JWSchmidt 16:21, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't see why there should exist two separate pages in two different schools (no matter they cooperate) for a same thing (learning languages). It is duplication of effort. --George D. Bozovic talk 16:55, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I think that this school should be merged with School:Language and Literature and that it should be part of the Humanities. --George D. Bozovic talk 09:36, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

What next?
We have a lot of names listed here; the question is, where do we go from here? How do we turn this into something more than a directory? The Jade Knight 02:57, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I was planning to rearrange this page and make the proper subpages or other Topic: pages for the separate languages. Then interested users can start writing the courses. --George D. Bozovic talk 12:04, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Good idea. Thanks.  The Jade Knight 19:19, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Could you put the articles, or at least synoptic linkers in the main namespace as shared resources for all three schools ^^^ mentioned above? Maybe we can come up with a boilerplate or template for all umpty-seven languages and the various schools, divisions, departments, blah-blah that cover them. Just a thought. CQ 17:15, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * There are now only two schools; the School of Foreign Language Learning has been demoted to a department (the one you're at). I don't know that this Department properly belongs in the School of Linguistics  (as opposed to the School of Languages and Literature), though it may potentially have classes that are part of Topics that are.  The Jade Knight 18:32, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

English Language
Projects for learning English, including (or particularly) Old, Middle, or Early Modern English, may belong in the English Language Division, or at least done in conjunction with it. The Jade Knight 23:56, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

 * And we may additionally develop an English-learning course for non-English speakers (but in English, ofcourse). What I mean is something like Simple English Wikipedia. We would have English classes and the definitions in English as well. Perhaps it seems a little bit odd, but it can actually work, and such courses do exist even in the real world (e. g. English courses for imigrants in English speaking countries, and so on). --George D. Bozovic talk 13:09, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Confusion?
How many of the names listed here were transfered over from Wikibooks? Someone should perhaps go through and delete all the users listed who do not exist on Wikiversity. The Jade Knight 04:38, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately, most of the names are actually from the Wikibooks, including even my own signature there (the link is, however, blue because I have registered an account here under the same username). That's why we need to start the page once again from the very beginning. The new users are coming all the time and we need to rearrange the page. Feel free to start it by yourself if you want to. I don't have much time these days. --George D. Bozovic talk 09:00, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * If I can find time, I'll start deleting any red signatures from before September. The Jade Knight 15:51, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

On the Center for Foreign Language Learning main page, it lists Japanese and Korean as a subset of Austro-Asiatic languages. I think this should be changed as they are not Austro-Asiatic languages.
 * Hello, thanks very much for the notice. You are correct: they belong not to Austro-Asiatic languages. It is now rearranged -using List of language families. Hope it is ok now ? Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) PS: Tag a learning project with completion status !! 11:40, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

New outlook
I have rearranged the page. Now, some of the languages that were listed before are missing now. Users interested in them should put them back on the page. Aim of the page is, however, not to list all the foreign language courses offered! Please, only list the most prominent ones for each language family, and then add a link to another page where one can find the rest of the languages from that family: other (Check out the example of the Slavic and Tolkien's Elvish languages). Good luck! --George D. Bozovic talk 17:03, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's warranted to just go and delete the lists of interested people—at this early stage, these are signs of interests and provide lists of people who may be contacted to help work on the language in question. This should be retained in full, even if as a subpage of this page.  The Jade Knight 05:49, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I was thinking that people interested in some language should start the appropriate Topic: page and move the list there. Each language should have its Topic: page as a sort of central page, with the lists of interested users and other important or not so important things about it. Nevertheless, a bare list of names means really nothing, especially because many names were imported from the Wikibooks, and many people simply put their signature with no real intention to edit this page in future, you know... --George D. Bozovic talk 15:12, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I've cleared out all the Wikibooks names already. And this at least provides a list of names of people that could be contacted at some point.  While many language programs are in their infancies, I think this can be a very useful tool.  The Jade Knight 02:21, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I did some general clean up to the page. Armenian was listed as a language isolate, when it belongs to its own sub-family of Indo-European, Irish (the prefered term) was listed as "Irish Gaelic", Farsi was listed as "Iranian", and Cherokee was not listed as an Iroquoian language. Then I alphabetized all the lists. --Limetom 06:28, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Resources
I thought it would be nice to include some possible outside resources for this... -Kristan Wifler
 * FSI language courses multiple resources in the public domain.
 * How to learn languages Has interesting descriptions, may have to ask permission.
 * Useful template: Template:Translations - for Multilingual Pages (tutorial). K 14:44, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Vocabulary Lists
Do vocabulary lists belong on wikibooks or here?--Balloonguy 22:48, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * What sort of Vocab lists? I'd say they'd probably go on Wikibooks.  If you have trouble there, though, you can come back.  The Jade Knight 06:09, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Common ressources for learning/teaching languages
Hello. I think that the same gallery can be used to teach several languages. See for example that page. Do you think it belongs to wikiversity?--Youssefsan 15:27, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't see why that sort of thing shouldn't be used here. The Jade Knight 06:17, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Youssefsan, I also don't think that belongs here. And I particularly don't like this approach for teaching languages. I do, however, think we should make something basic to several languages. Like for instance languages close to each other (from common phylogenetic branch), or how to pronounce IPA (and then in each language show the basics IPA to learn the language) and a lot of sound resources (in various different dialects) so the learning becomes much more easy (and that's the way I like to learn). Zark 04:27, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I think you have misinterpreted me—I said I had no problem with its inclusion. The Jade Knight 04:54, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Confusion
I am a little confused about what belongs here and what belongs on wikibooks. For example Verb Conjugation - Godan Verbs contains information on how to conjugate verbs. Should information like this be on wikibooks and have exercises and stuff here, or should everything be here?--Balloonguy 20:39, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I think a lot of the stuff here really belongs on Wikibooks. Some people don't really understand what Wikiversity is for, however.  In fact, a lot of this stuff may already exist at Wikibooks.  It's best to try to integrate materials as much as possible.  The Jade Knight 02:37, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I mean that information on how to conjugate verbs and a lot of grammar stuff is already on wikibooks, so is my first statement correct; refer students to applicable wikibook page and have exercises done here?--Balloonguy 16:00, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * That would be ideal, yes. Õr, exercises could, perhaps, be included at Wikibooks, as well, depending on their nature.  If it doesn't fit on Wikibooks, however, Wikiversity is the place for it—such as having discussions, some exercises, teacher-student activities, debates, research projects, etc.  The Jade Knight 02:31, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the information.--Balloonguy 18:12, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
 * What should be done with pages that duplicate information, meaning how does one, for a lack of a better term, export pages to wikibooks?--Balloonguy 23:34, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * They use the same code, so the first thing to do is see if there's any duplication of topics. If you can find two pages that cover the same material, you can just copy the Wikiversity code to the Wikibooks page and integrate it where it seems to belong.  If you cannot find a page (or section) in Wikibooks that seems to fit the material here at Wikiversity, you could create a new page and put it there.  Once the material is at Wikibooks, you can link to it from here at Wikiversity.  Does that help a little?  The Jade Knight 23:50, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I was kind of hoping for a more offical way to do it but okay, that works, thanks.--Balloonguy 00:00, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Common suface?
Hello everybody!

I'm working at the Learning German page(s) and currently I'm racking my brain on how a good language learning lesson can look like. Now I've decided not to tackle this question on my own, but to solve it together with some guys from other language learning departments to create a universal look for the pages. The goal would be a single surface which is adopted (and perhaps simply modified for special ones) for every lesson.

What do you think of it? Pro/Contra? If you're interested in helping me tell me your ideas beyond (or at a new page?). Looking for inspiration? Here are several pages I like best, e.g. the Spanish, French, Japanese and surely the German (which is mainly a concept at the moment).

Thanks in advance! --Edmond Dantes AUT 11:06, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Sign languages
What do people think about adding sign languages (for the Deaf)?

These could include images or short video clips. There are various websites for British Sign Language that might contribute, and I'm sure there are others for other sign languages.
 * I like this idea. Anyone wants to extend this: Sign Language ? Erkan Yilmaz uses the Chat (try) 19:26, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Foreign Languages??
Why are the Celtic languages defined as being 'foreign'? If English is not your first language is it also 'foreign'? Eog1916 09:11, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

2008 August: Wikiversity the Movie
This learning project is being revived. We are in need of help in all areas (translation, creative ideas, scripting, production, ... - you name it). Anyone wants to support this community project ? Erkan Yilmaz uses the Chat (try) 21:18, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Possible reformat?
To me, this page seems out of date and difficult to edit. I like the language family boxes, but with all the current redlinks, etc. they are looking a little sloppy. Any ideas for how to fix this? --Trinity507 18:59, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

 * In what way is this out of date? --Swift 21:30, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

 * I don't know if it's out of date as in not listing resources, it just feels tired. Maybe I am a perfectionist. :D Anyway, I think the main issue is the redlinks.  Perhaps we could reorganize the language family thing?  --Trinity507 02:04, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Proposal
See : Colloquium. Amqui (discuss • contribs) 17:02, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Removing or repurposing this page
Right now there seem to be two landing pages for language learning: Portal:Wikilang and and Portal:Foreign Language Learning.

My instinct is to either delete and redirect the FLL portal. It's just a list of known languages, which is (a) more of a Wikipedia topic, and (b) already covered more comprehensively on Wikipedia (see List_of_language_families. The other option would be to combine it with the current Portal:Wikilang/List of languages.

Because this is a lot of someone's content, though, I wanted to check before I nuked it. Any strong feelings?--Chapka (discuss • contribs) 11:36, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Please hold on: I have the feeling that this is related to a project I recently started developing. I just found Wikiversity and this page. Right now, I am still in the process of exploring the Wiki multiverse in order to find out about relevant projects and the first draft is a work in process. Kspriton (discuss • contribs) 18:46, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

 * * qualified support *: I've only just discovered that Wikiversity has language teaching. Thanks for the pointer to Portal:Wikilang! - which, I see, has Australian indigenous languages; unlike this portal, which doesn't even include Australia!   if this is indeed so threadbare as you describe, we surely do need to rationalise the resources along the lines you suggest.   Are you continuing to develop your draft?  And if so, would it work as well on Wikilang?  Yahya Abdal-Aziz (discuss • contribs) 03:03, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Hey, thanks for your comment. Yes, I am still working on it. Actually, I am about to present my proposal to my local cummunity (catalan) in order to get some initial feedback. I am planning to translate my plan for the program and a pilot project thereafter. Therefore, I will be able to provide some details on the progress soon. I do not know which format would suit best, as the design turned out to be more complex than originally projected and there are some optional elements that suggest a specific interface. I will be more than happy to collaborate in the near future with the rest of the Wikiversity team as considered best. To sum up, the idea is to combine the active and passive use of all relevant Wikimedia projects with language learning in the form of an organized methodology. Feel free to get back to me. --Kspriton (discuss • contribs) 17:07, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Meanwhile, I've added the to the Portal:Wikilang, to help others discover it, too.  Yahya Abdal-Aziz (discuss • contribs) 03:16, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the specifics, and best wishes for a successful project! As it happens, Catalan is one of the languages I wish to know better. :)  At this stage, which other Wikimedia projects do you anticipate will become relevant in creating the methodology?  Yahya Abdal-Aziz (discuss • contribs) 12:59, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

 * I have translated the documentation and I want to consult the Wikimedia Foundation regarding an important organizational doubt, that the local community members were unable to clarify. As soon as I have had the relevant feedback on the issue, I can hopefully make the next steps to initiate the collaboration. With respect to your question about the other Wikimedia projects that might become relevant, I can say that my draft does propose the integration of some projects that are of special interest in the process of learning languages, but I imagine that the interface might actually extend to many more. To sum up, it depends on the final design of the technical implementation of the suggested interface. As that is precisely something I want to discuss with the Education Team, I am not sure about it right now. Kspriton (discuss • contribs) 16:34, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your reply, and please keep me posted if your project advances further. --Yahya Abdal-Aziz (discuss • contribs) 08:10, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Introduction to Computer Science

Introduction
Dear student,

You are starting to learn about computation and its purpose. This course covers the same materials as an introductory class for undergraduate computer science majors. Its curriculum, which includes software, hardware and algorithms, resembles that of a one- or two-semester first-year college course or the high school Advanced Placement (AP) Computer Science. It does not require a formal computer science background.

There is also a gentler Introduction to Computers for non-majors, and a basic course focusing on programming that is taught in several computer languages.

The rewards of taking this course are immense. In addition to being a subject in itself, computer science can be applied to almost any other discipline from accounting to zoology. The job prospects for computer scientists and computer engineers are excellent.

Be patient in your studies, and don't get too frustrated if you are stuck on one part of a programming assignment or confused about a concept. Struggling with the materials is a normal and essential part of the learning process. You're probably better off going through the course sequentially and consulting external references as needed. Each lesson, particularly in the programming component of the course, builds on previous sections and it is best to keep up with the materials throughout. You're welcome to go at your own pace and begin or end at any time.

Completing the reading and programming assignments for one section can take awhile. If you would like feedback, the instructors are here to help.

Prerequisites
''Prerequisites are courses that are suggested you understand before you attempt this course. If you're having a hard time understanding the material in this course, make sure you understand these prerequisites first.''
 * Introduction to Computers

Corequisites
Computer science is a discipline - also can be described as a branch of knowledge; where abstraction (the process of dealing with ideas rather than events) is of much concern.

Lessons

Talk:Open Source Degree Confirmation

I think that giving "Ph.D. " for open-source Minesweeper implementation is somewhat wrong. I think, projects should be ranked on their complexity. Granting "Ph.D." for writing new POSIX OS is OK with me :) DarkFighter 23:44, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

To my opinion, the point of view expressed in this article is a little bit simplistic and reductionist. Industry is looking for candidates having both a degree AND practical experience. Obtaining a degree is not only a question of writing code, it is also a question of having a general view of the domain that is studied, being able to present new projects to an audience and so on. Contributing to open source projects is a great way to learn in "real life conditions" and should be further encouraged in schools and universities but the universities still play an important role which is recognized by the industry. Vinsz October 28

The views expressed on this page are very subjective. I also think they are very wrong. While completing an open source project is a notable accomplishment, it is on the scale of earning a credit for a university-level software engineering course. Completing a graduate degree signifies that a person is capable of significant quality research, and this is not necessarily the case (and often not) in software development. To suggest that doing the majority of one project entitles one to something equivalent to a Ph.D. is not only insulting to those who have completed one, but it would likely damage the person's credibility. For any doubters, consider that Linus Torvalds, the developer of the Linux kernel and hero to many in the open source community, created Linux as only one portion of his Master's degree. Creating software does not entitle you to a graduate degree. Boardinbob December 1

Where's the math?
Programming is nice, but Computer Science is a branch of mathematics. The fact that someone can make their own sourceforge project that's successful and well programmed does not in any way indicate that they have a deep knowledge of algorithms, data structures, computation theory, and discrete mathematics. With the prevelence of sophisticated, versitile libraries and programming environments, individuals almost entirely ignorant of the mathematical underpinnings of CS can create powerful and well-performing applications in many domains. I may be "old fashioned" but I believe that anyone of significant mathematical intelligence can pick up a compiler and start hacking. It takes a more rigorous set of exercises and readings for one to be considered a "computer scientist." - JustinWick 02:51, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

History of Quebec and Canada/Study Guide/Topic 2: Cartier's Voyages

Topic 2: Cartier's Voyages
Why did France send Jacques Cartier to explore North America ?

In the 15th century, Spain and Portugal began to explore America. Since they found gold and other riches in their new colonies, the —King of France also became interested — In 1524, an Italian named Giovanni da Verrazano was sent by the king of France to explore the east coast of North America. He hoped to find a route to China further to the north. He sailed northwards along the coast but failed to find the passage to China. Ten years later, in 1534, France sent Jacques Cartier to explore America.

His mission had three purposes:
 * 1) find a route to Asia
 * 2) bring back gold and other riches
 * 3) claim land for the king of France.

In 1534, Cartier explored and mapped the Gulf of St. Lawrence. On the banks of the Gaspé peninsula he erected a cross and claimed the land in the name of the king of France. He met friendly Natives willing to trade furs for trinkets. Although gold was not found, he reported the abundance of fish, timber and furs. He also felt that a wide river flowing from the west could be a promising route to China.

In 1535, Cartier arrived with three ships. He sailed up the big river which he named the St. Lawrence River.He reached the Indian villages of Stadacona (now Quebec) and Hochelaga (now Montreal). Friendly Natives showed the French explorers how to survive the cold and scurvy in the winter. Cartier and his men returned to France in 1536 bringing with them five Natives, including Chief Donacona. In 1541, Cartier returned and attempted to set up a colony near Stadacona. Missionaries hoped to convert the Natives to the Christian religion. The settlement however was abandoned in 1542 and France lost interest in the colony. No one returned for the next 60 years.

1. WHICH PAIR OF STATEMENTS DESCRIBES A GOAL OF FRANCE AND A RESULT OBTAINED BY JACQUES CARTIER?

A) GOAL-to find aaron.
 * RESULT-He proved that the world was round.

B) GOAL-To find a new route to Asia.
 * RESULT-He claimed territory in the name of France.

C) GOAL-To improve existing maps.
 * RESULT-He mapped the Canadian Shield

D) GOAL-To convert native populations.
 * RESULT-He brought back spices and silk.

2. A certain French explorer accomplished the following things during his voyages to America. He claimed territory in the name of the king of France. He made contact with the Amerindians. He explored and mapped the shores of the St. Lawrence River. WITH WHAT PERIOD OF HISTORY ARE THIS EXPLORER'S VOYAGES ASSOCIATED ?

A            B               C              D              /______________/______________/______________/_____________/

1400       1450            1500           1550          1600

3. WHAT WERE TWO RESULTS OF JACQUES CARTIER'S VOYAGES?

1. He established a permanent colony on the shores of the St. Lawrence River

2. He explored the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the St. Lawrence River. 3. He discovered a new route to Asia.

4. He brought back gold and spices. 5. He claimed the new territory for France.

History of Quebec and Canada/Study Guide/Topic 3: Geographic Conditions

Topic 3: Geographic Conditions

What kinds of regions did the European explorers find in North America? North America has four main natural regions: The Canadian Shield contains a vast area of hard rocks, thousands of lakes, and many rivers. In the south it is covered by dense forest.The Europeans found it hard to cross the Shield. The Appalachians form a chain of old worn-down mountains on the east side of the continent.They are not high, but dense forest and rugged terrain made them difficult to cross. The Western Mountains are a broad system of high mountain ranges and plateaus along the western side of the continent. The Lowlands are found in the central parts of the continent and along the southeast coast.This region is mostly plain. Much of it is good farmland - the type of land that settlers wanted. The St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes form one of the main entry routes to the continent. People and ships coming across the Atlantic Ocean from Europe can use this route to reach the interior of the continent.The entry route passes between the Canadian Shield to the north and the Appalachians to the south. Other entry routes to the continent include the Hudson River and Hudson's Bay. Do the following questions on Topic 3: Geographic Conditions

1. WHICH GEOGRAPHICAL FEATURE FAVOURED THE EXPLORATION OF NORTH AMERICA? A)    The extensive system of rivers and lakes B)     Rich and fertile soils C)    The temperate climate

D)    The variety of natural resources

ANSWER: A B C D

2. WHICH ONE OF THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS CORRECTLY DESCRIBES A LINK BETWEEN GEOGRAPHY AND SETTLEMENT IN NEW FRANCE DURING THE 17TH CENTURY ?

A)The Appalachians were a natural barrier between the Iroquois territory and the French colony. B)The Canadian Shield made settlement of the colony easier. C)Harsh winters forced the French colonists to settle further south in the Appalachians. D)The St. Lawrence River attracted colonists to settle in the lowlands.

ANSWER: A B C D

3.WHICH GEOGRAPHIC CONDITION MADE SETTLEMENT EASIER FOR THE FIRST EUROPEANS IN NEW FRANCE BETWEEN 1608 AND 1642?

A)   The waterways of the Canadian Shield B)    The climate of the Appalachian Mountains C)   The existence of the St. Lawrence River D)    The fertile lands south of the Great Lakes ANSWER: A B C D

History of Quebec and Canada/Study Guide/Topic 1: Sociocultural Organization

What were the chief characteristics of the Algonquian Peoples? Algonquian Indians T.M. Martin/National Archives of Canada/C-90370. The Algonquin, the Cree, the Ojibwa, the Micmac, the Naskapi, the Abenaki, and the Montagnais are important Algonquian nations who lived in the northern forests of Eastern Canada. Characteristics of the Algonquians They were nomadic meaning they moved their camp site from place to place in their search for food. The men hunted and fished. The women gathered berries, roots and seeds. They lived in wigwams or tents covered with birch-bark or animal skins. Clothes were made from animal skins and furs. In summer they travelled using canoes. In winter they used snowshoes and toboggans. Their social structure was a patriarchy, which means that the men were the leaders and the heads of the family. They believed in spirits and in the forces of nature. The medicine man or shaman had a prominent place in society since it was believed that he had the power to expel evil spirits and to influence the powerful forces of nature. '''What were the chief characteristics of the Iroquoian Peoples ? '''

Iroquoian palisaded village (European rendition 1720) NAC/C-36345 The Iroquois call themselves Haudenosaunee meaning "people of the longhouse." They lived in and around the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Lowlands. Characteristics of the Iroquoians Iroquois villages were generally fortified and large. The distinctive, communal longhouses of the different clans could be over 200' in length and were built over a framework covered with elm bark. The Iroquois had a matriarchal social structure meaning the women owned all property and determined kinship. After marriage, a man moved into his wife's longhouse, and their children became members of her clan. They were sedentary, which means they had a way of life that involved living in a permanent community. Their villages were permanent in that they were moved only for military defensive purposes or when the soil became depleted (about every fifteen to twenty years). Agriculture provided most of the Iroquois diet. Corn, beans, and squash were known as "deohako" or "life supporters." The women owned and tended the fields under the supervision of the clan mother. Men usually left the village in the fall for the annual hunt and returned about midwinter. In the spring the men fished. Like the Algonquians, the Iroquoian religion was based on the worship of a great spirit who had power over the lives of all living things. It was the Iroquois political system, however, that made them unique, and because of it, they dominated the first 200 years of colonial history in both Canada and the United States. The Iroquois prevailed because of their unity, sense of purpose, and superior political organization. 1. WHICH TWO OF THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS DESCRIBE THE WAY OF LIFE OF THE ALGONQUIANS? 1. They lived in the Canadian Shield in wooded areas with abundant game. 2. Their diet was based on hunting, fishing and gathering. 3. Many families lived together in long wooden houses. 4.

They learned of new foods such as corn, pumpkins, and maple syrup.

The Native Indians

Positive Influences

They learned of new foods such as bread, peas, and salt. They were introduced to woolen cloth and blankets. They were introduced to iron tools and weapons and became increasingly dependent on them.

Negative Influences The use of alcohol, unknown to the Natives before the arrival of the Europeans, had disastrous repercussions on Native society. The introduction of European diseases (smallpox, measles, influenza) killed thousands of Native people. The fur trade conditioned European-Indian relations along antagonistic lines and changed the Native way of life. Religious orders, such as the Jesuits, tried to impose Christianity on the Native populations. Do the following questions on Topic 2: Mutual Influences

Instructions on using Interiot's back-up edit counter
This tool does not work with Internet Explorer.

 * 1) Open your user javascript file (most often monobook.js).
 * 2) Edit the page and copy-and-paste the code below.
 * 3) Go to User:Digitalme/Tool2/code.js.
 * 4) Press the "control" and "F5" buttons on your keyboard at the same time (the page will now refresh).
 * 5) Enter your username into the box and choose "submit".
 * 6) Your edit count should appear!

The code
//Interiot's javascript edit counter

document.write(' ');

Troubleshooting

 * The back-up edit counter doesn't seem to currently work with Internet Explorer, although it should be fixed soon. In the meantime, you can get Firefox or ask someone else to check for you.
 * If all you see is a bunch of code, make sure you followed the directions carefully.
 * If you try to count the edits of a user with a lot of edits (4000 or more), your browser might freeze and/or display warnings about the script taking too long. This is because the script, instead of relying on the Toolserver, harvests the data directly from your contribs, which can take a really long time.
 * If you're still experiencing problems, please let w:User:Interiot know.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called SilasSnider. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name SilasSnider~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

User talk:Jehl~enwikiversity

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Jehl. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jehl~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:34, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Portal talk:Software engineering

Perhaps this should be under "Computer Science"

Though software engineering is a part of computer science course, but its quite different. I feel software engineering is more about creating interface, application prog. while comp sciece is about everything. Like an umbrella..from h/w to s/w.

Stuff we must cover (please update):

 * Software crysis: why a Software Engineering
 * Software myths

 * Software life cycle
 * Paradigms (lots)
 * Requisites analysis
 * Kinds of requisites
 * Bussines model
 * Use cases model
 * Architecture
 * Design
 * System model
 * OO Design
 * Patterns
 * Implementation
 * Tests
 * White box and black box tests
 * Unitary tests
 * Integration tests
 * Delivery

 * Software teams

 * Risks
 * Risks Analysis
 * Risks Management

In one of my first year introductory software engineering subjects, my lecturer used an analogy that what a study of chemistry is to a chemical engineer, so is a study of computer science to a software engineer. Computer science forms the very core of software engineering but software engineering goes beyond what is taught in a computer science course (at an undergrad level that is). At my university, a Bachelor of Com Sci was a three-year degree, whereas Bachelor of Soft Eng was a four-year degree. --60.240.246.147 13:10, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
