EDWARDSVILLE The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville School of Pharmacy (SOP) will drop the Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT) as a requirement for admission to align admissions practices with national trends among pharmacy schools. The policy immediately applies to fall 2021 admission applications.
“With many of the barriers that standardized tests can create, the environment during COVID-19 and to ensure our applicant pool is as diverse as possible, it was deemed this would be best for our prospective students,” said SOP Associate Dean Jessica Kerr, PharmD, CDCES, Office of Professional and Student Affairs, and professor in the Department of Pharmacy Practice.

How to become a (more) senior developer

I came across this paper which looks at ways to teach students complex systems courtesy of Jessica Kerr’s blog.
Based on how students reason about complex systems, they were placed in 4 categories in order of increasing sophistication:
Completely Clockwork
Somewhat Clockwork, Somewhat Complex and Completely Complex.
“Clockwork responses are those that show deterministic, linear, single-cause, non-networked, centralized, or static system interactions or states, whereas complex responses are those that demonstrate nondeterministic, nonlinear, multiple causes, networked, decentralized, or dynamic system interactions or states”.
In my experience this translates extremely well to the progression of a developer and their understanding of the complexity of the ecosystem they operate in. So, I wanted to attempt to derive a learning progression for developers.
