Peter Bateman (British, 1740–1825) (artist), and Anne Bateman (British, 1748–1813) (artist). Trophy Cup. 1792–93. The Cleveland Museum of Art.

Actually the worst thing to come out of the new pjo series is people deciding Annabeth's dad was 19-22 when he was given her by Athena (and therefore "just a kid at the time" so it's not his fault, he was in debt and couldn't afford it) He was in the middle of/nearly finished with his PhD, the Chase family was rich and he was probably a legacy (college not demigod wise) so no, he was just a shit dad. And she was also like 7 when she ran away and he was already married to her stepmom who was half the problem. Characters can be 30+ actually it's okay I promise

This is a subset of "Step 1: read the assignment" advice, but I have recently had to grade a bunch of papers where students clearly spent time hunting down external references of variable quality (not required) instead of developing an original argument based on a single assigned text (required.) Pro tip: do not do this.

Library afternoons again. Finally. Looking forward to more productive days, studying Germanic Philology and Russian Literature, getting my student life up and running for the new year.

Resources that have helped me in my classes!
(will add to this list as I find/remember more)
Classes I've used these in so far:
Honors Mechanics
Honors Thermodynamics & Optics
Relativity & Quantum Mechanics
Calculus I, II, III
Differential Equations
Introduction to Astronomy
Fundamentals of Astronomy
- - - - Youtube Channels - - - -
Physics
Michel van Biezen - oh my god I love him. I think he uses Sears and Zemansky's University Physics for example problems. His channel has 10k videos (!!!) and is very well-organized. He also lectures on math (from 5th grade to linear algebra), chem & organic chemistry, and astronomy.
Calculus
The Organic Chemistry Tutor - I mostly watch his videos on Calculus I-III and Differential Equations, but he also covers physics and chemistry.
Nancypi - Precalculus, Calculus I, and some of Calculus II. I barely showed up to calc lectures my first semester so she was a great help. also i have a crush on her
Michel van Biezen - I usually don't watch his math videos because his notation and techniques are different from what my prof makes us use
Astronomy
Urknall, Weltall, und das Leben - my literal dream channel. perfect levels of dryness, and videos are usually at least 45 minutes long. It's entirely in German though lmao
Michel van Biezen - covers important topics in introductory astronomy, and also does example problems (although I think they're all algebra-based)
- - - - Textbooks - - - -
Introduction to Cosmology - Barbara Ryden
Foundations of Astrophysics - Ryden & Peterson
University Physics - Sears and Zemansky
Calculus - James Stewart
Modern Physics - Kenneth Krane
