January 15 Day 313: Transcription Errors

Posted byJenny QuinnPosted inteaching, technologyTags:

Recording a zoom lecture to the cloud will create an audio transcription. In math, the interpretation of what we say can be amusing. While posting yesterday’s class, these beauties caught my eye.

What Zoom thoughtWhat was said IRL
…rotating an accident……rotating a hexagon…
parodyparity
serum necessaryno theorem necessary
What group is a three ice morphic to…What group is A isomorphic to….
boredboard
scandalousscan the list

Hopefully the students that go back and reference the recording will take the transcription with a grain of salt.
