First, because I don’t want to repeat Alan Turing’s mistakes and say all kinds of things without sufficiently engaging with other domains. And second, because I make my points with a story about Alice and Bob having great sex. I am not sure the Computer Science community (who probably only knows Alice and Bob from cryptography lessons where they send each other rather innocent encrypted text messages!) is ready for that. But ok, here we go… ...

Dear Felienne! It has been some time since we recorded the Peter Naur episode, but I finally did the homework. Or at least, what I remembered about the homework. Well, actually, I changed the homework a little to better fit my life and (lack of programming) skills. In any case, here are my notes. Please take my notes with a grain of salt. As you know, I am not entirely sure who I am — but I am definitely not an experienced programmer, I am also not an educational scientist, and I have not studied computer science even though I ended up in the CS department. And, of course, I have not looked into scientific articles to see how well my thoughts hold up against those of experts. Also, I overdid it a bit. Future homeworks will be shorter, I promise!!! ...
