  2. Errors and Expectations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errors_and_Expectations

    This is a significant statement as it shifts the teacher’s perspective that basic writing students are remedial - bad and need correcting, when in fact it is the students' errors that require study and correction as well as a teachers perspectives - in becoming a student themselves of new disciplines and of his/her students in order to grasp ...

  3. Check digit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_digit

    The final digit of a Universal Product Code, International Article Number, Global Location Number or Global Trade Item Number is a check digit computed as follows: [3] [4]. Add the digits in the odd-numbered positions from the left (first, third, fifth, etc.—not including the check digit) together and multiply by three.

  4. Knuth reward check - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth_reward_check

    Bank of San Serriffe reward check. Knuth started rewarding people for discovering errors in his books after he published the first volume of The Art of Computer Programming in 1968. [2] Initially, Knuth sent real, negotiable checks to recipients. He stopped doing so in October 2008 because of problems with check fraud.

  5. Cyclic redundancy check - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_redundancy_check

    The advantage of choosing a primitive polynomial as the generator for a CRC code is that the resulting code has maximal total block length in the sense that all 1-bit errors within that block length have different remainders (also called syndromes) and therefore, since the remainder is a linear function of the block, the code can detect all 2 ...

  6. Error treatment (linguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_treatment_(linguistics)

    In correcting errors, correction is a post-production exercise and basically deals with the linguistic errors. [3] Often in the form of feedback, it draws learners' attention to the mistakes they have made and acts as a reminder of the correct form of language.

  7. Error Carried Forward - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_Carried_Forward

    This application employs the model-view-controller design, which includes a data structure to represent the exam questions, a graphical user interface (GUI) for inputting student answers, and a set of algorithms written in JavaScript to process input and output. However, this application is a work in progress, as it cannot handle rounding errors.

  8. Error detection and correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_detection_and_correction

    The on-line textbook: Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms, by David J.C. MacKay, contains chapters on elementary error-correcting codes; on the theoretical limits of error-correction; and on the latest state-of-the-art error-correcting codes, including low-density parity-check codes, turbo codes, and fountain codes.

  9. Erratum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erratum

    Corrigendum is the gerundive form of the Latin compound verb corrigo -rexi -rectum (from the verb rego, "to make straight, rule", plus the preposition cum, "with"), "to correct", [3] and thus signifies [4] "(those things) which must be corrected" and in its single form Corrigendum it means "(that thing) which must be corrected".
