Sep 28, 2017 at 10:08 comment added Peter Heinig Just stumbled over this thread, and would like to partly agree with Andrej Bauer's discouraging such questions, but would also like to suggest a compromise, as a general rough guideline (please note that I did not take the time to read the meta.discussion): such questions should only be okay here if, well, they are really well done, in the following sense: the 'specification' of admissible answers should be much more thoughtful than that the suggestions be "fun" and warrant the word "should". Some explicit reference to mathematical/logical concepts should be recognizable in the OP.

Feb 8, 2016 at 10:26 comment added Mark Grant @post.as.a.guest: I would say that yes, fun is a principal criterion (although not the principal criterion). Students who are having fun are more likely to be inspired to learn.

Feb 6, 2016 at 15:47 comment added post.as.a.guest Is "fun" a principal criterion for teaching undergraduates? Is this the status of universities(?!) in the UK?

Feb 6, 2016 at 13:10 comment added Tony Huynh @Fedor Petrov: I made a question on meta whether the question should be reopened. meta.mathoverflow.net/questions/2723/… Personally, I agree with you that the question is on-topic here.
Feb 6, 2016 at 12:27 comment added Fedor Petrov Why do we need a separate subforum? What is not ok with such questions in the common MO?
Feb 6, 2016 at 11:02 comment added user62562 Thanks all for reading the question. I was unaware of the math educators part of stack exchange. How would one go about moving the question there?
Feb 6, 2016 at 10:56 comment added Włodzimierz Holsztyński @FedorPetrov, perhaps you are right but then we need a separate sub-forum for such questions.

Feb 6, 2016 at 10:49 comment added Fedor Petrov Most questions about teaching (see this tag) are not about research, but about teaching. And I expect more useful advices here on MO, than on matheducators, since people who teach graph theory courses are active rather on MO.

Feb 6, 2016 at 9:27 comment added Andrej Bauer This question is not about math research. It belongs to matheducators.stackexchange.com, please move it there.
