In this paper, the author presents several challenges associated with teaching a technical subject that blends statistics, computer science, and specific subject-matter knowledge to an academically-accomplished but mostly non-technical audience. He also talks about some of the difficulties that he faced as an instructor dealing with three levels of newness: the course was brand new, so there was no prior blueprint upon which to fall back; the concepts presented in the course were completely new to the students; and some of the material was relatively new to him as well. After describing these challenges, he shares several lessons learned regarding instructional material and approaches that succeeded with the audience, as well as some candid reflections about areas in which he can improve future iterations of the course.

Many of us teaching Computer Science are familiar with version control systems, whether from academic experience or from industry. In professional environments, such systems are often viewed as vehicles for delivering a product. However, in a very real sense these systems are also an individual vehicle for delivering their individual work for integration into a product. In this way, the conveyance of the CIS student’s work for grading bears a lot of resemblance to version control. And, of course, students going into a professional environment are likely to be required to use such tools on a daily basis. At the same time there are many drawbacks to teaching computer science or CIS using Blackboard or other learning management systems ("LMS"). The most serious problem is that realistic assignments involve files that depend on other files and on runtime context, like particular folder or initialization files. Such context is lost is the flattened submission format of the LMS. In addition, LMS assignment structures also obstruct the provision of 'sample' or 'starter' files, and of the directory/folder structures often needed to make toolsets work effectively. In order to meet these needs, I decided to use a service called GitHub Classroom in three courses from Fall 2017 to the present. GitHub is well known as a colossal version-control repository server using the git distributed version-control system. (In 2017 GitHub had 24 million users with 67 million version-control repositories.) GitHub Classroom is a service that adapts the usual professional Git workflow to distribute individually to students; it is free to those with certifiable faculty positions. The first course on which I used GitHub Classroom was CS 689, the newly-reworked course "Designing and Implementing a Data Warehouse." However, in the middle of the Spring semester, I also deployed GitHub Classroom on the Term Project for CS 669, "Database Design and Implementation for Business." I found GitHub Classroom to be extremely useful and, with adaptations, intend to use it for future courses. This paper will present my experience as a case study on the mechanics, advantages, and drawbacks of using this service for teaching courses relating to computer science and information systems.

Vakufi su bili višenamjenske zadužbine koje su imale pobožnu i dobrotvornu svrhu. Obredni, socijalno-humanitarni, obrazovno-vaspitni, infrastrukturni i drugi sektori bili su najzastupljeniji sektori kada su u pitanju namjene i svrhe vakufa. Cilj ove studije je da uz pomoć deset Rumelijskih hurufat deftera u kojima se pominje Tašlidža utvrdimo broj vakufa u samom gradu i pljevaljskim selima, kao i broj i imena zaposlenih lica u džamijama, mesdžidima, mektebima i medresama, njihove funkcije, datume njihovih imenovanja na te funkcije i iznose dnevnih nadoknada u akčama koje su primali. Tako će biti jasnija slika o vakufima u Pljevaljskom sandžaku od sredine XVIII do sredine XIX vijeka.

The Workers' Cultural Society Svoboda (Freedom) was a leading workers' cultural organisation in Maribor between the two World Wars. The society contributed greatly to the rise of popular education and culture. It was divided into several sections such as drama and recitals, sports, nature trips, chess, singing and tamburitsa. The society organised lectures on issues related to the workers' movement. In 1935, the Svoboda society was banned by the authorities because of its political activity. However, only a year later, the Vzajemnost (Solidarity) Society was founded in its stead. It organized lectures, discussions, cultural evenings, singing and theatrical performances, thereby contributing towards a greater general education and Marxist re-education. By dealing with the current socio-economic issues, it attracted workers as well as inteligentsia and students. Among those who collaborated with the Vzajemnost were several prominent Slovenian cultural workers, such as Bogo Teply, Ivan Favai, Jože Babič and Anton Tanc.

The aim of this article is to explore how education was used to build state authority in the Soviet System. Education has always been a method of building state authority. As it was followed by multiple nation-states, the Soviet case presents a similar course both at the state and union level, whereby the state pursues to construct an environment that is consistent with the state’s intent to shape its own society. Soviet education, with its centrally planned nature, was designed to create a standard individual that was in line with communist principles, even though leadership changes had ultimate challenged education policies. Education in the USSR appeared to be a tool of justifying not only the regime but also the promotion of the values of political leadership. Nevertheless, state-centric, centrally planned educative circles, failed to feed the overall system in order to sustain itself instead of educating the individual’s free mind. The history, ideology, purpose, and philosophy of the Soviet education system will be analyzed in order to show how the Soviets had established a very comprehensive education policy, as well as how they had employed various methods in order to strengthen the basis for the ‘perfect’ society.
