Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A Texas farm boy, who entered veterinary school in 1966 with the goal of becoming a “cow doctor” but instead has ended up teaching anatomy for more than 30 years, shares some of his personal philosophy and ideas about learning and teaching. The author claims no special expertise in teaching methodology, offers no “cutting-edge” techniques, and presents no particularly “novel” concepts on how to be a good teacher. He merely shares his personal, common-sense teaching philosophy, which is pretty much summarized in “Smallwood’s 12 or More Axioms of Learning and Teaching.” As a “parting shot,” the author comments briefly on teaching anatomy using the problem-based learning approach.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
