Question for my fellow STEM educators: when we say "show your working" what do we mean? What distinguishes sufficient working from insufficient? Would using a symbol that's not in the question without saying, in words, what it represents cost marks?

Moths, that is

Heads up ladies, many of you will soon be on the receiving end of a bad poem and a hopeful expression

We've got mint motha in the garden

Love that show! The real hero is the Mail Robot

Email, they should be using Teams instead [ducks]

A friend of mine who specialised in music hall songs sang it at his own funeral (via a recording) along with, obviously, Isn't it Grand to be Bloomin' Well Dead

Every time I'm tempted to moan about our building project I remind myself that it avoids having to move

Pro-natalists also called for more gooseberry bushes to be planted

A rat done bit my sister Nell, with fission on the moon. Her arms and legs began to swell, with fission on the moon. I can't pay no doctor bills, but fission's on the moon. Ten years from now I'll be paying still, while fission's on the moon.

Tenor horn, surely

Five young people from Hampshire embark on international Scout adventure The group are taking part in the 16th World Scout Moot in Portugal and are among 500 UK Scouts attending the event.

These predate the campaign to eliminate density (tm)

Slides for an acoustics lecture

Behold my (hopefully) accessible slides! I spent an embarrassingly long time dithering between using colour or font to indicate the unknowns before the penny dropped and I realised I could use both

"When the first of August came round, the Professor realized he had pleasantly trifled away nearly two months at a task which should have taken little more than a week."

I've been awake for HOURS

Units of density (should you ever need it): rayl seconds per metre

Putting a zero subscript on c and z means, putting them on k, \lambda etc. Tempted to drop them all, were it not for wanting to have unadorned z for surface impedance and wanting to write \zeta = z/z_0

Why? Because:

-\nabla p = \rho_0 \partial \mathbf{u} / \partial t

->

-c_0 \nabla p = z_0 \partial \mathbf{u} / \partial t

Also it's now called the Acoustic Momentum Equation (AME)
