This course description is a concise summary and embodiment of the content, objectives, and structure of an educational course. The creation of this course description was initiated from the need to compile the information for the instructors, students, and administration staff. By writing this course description, the instructor is practicing one type of recursive creation process where the creation is a direct representation of the process of creation. This course description also aims to demonstrate how recursion isn’t confined to programming alone; it’s a fundamental idea that can be found in diverse fields, including this very course creation process.
In this course, you will look at theories around recursive philosophy, recursion as an algorithm, recursion as a programming philosophy (function-oriented programming), and various recursive works. You will think really hard alone and learn to communicate your thinking with others. You will do and make puzzles and reflect the method in your own creations through a series of small experiments.
Why recursion:
it challenges traditional problem-solving approaches. In situations where there are numerous methods to achieve comparable outcomes, while thinking about ethical practice within any creative endeavor, the course aims to delve into the underlying meaning and purpose of the work undertaken. Recursion, in this context, embodies a form of process-oriented thinking. By exploring recursive processes, you are encouraged to question established norms, fostering a deeper understanding of the motivations driving their creative endeavors.
