In Spring 2018 for the EML3041 Computational Methods course, I assigned students to write a nursery rhyme on numerical methods using the “one, two, buckle my shoe” prompt. Here is a sample, and more will be shared in the next few weeks.
The students were given the choice of going anonymous, use only initials or their full name as the byline. Some opted not to be published while others added the audio version as well.
