Pet peeve of the day: seeing people copy my old EECS 338 home page and/or recitation notes including the “Valid XHTML 1.1” badge at the bottom, but then break the validity when they make whatever changes they need to make. If you don't know what the badge means or aren't going to make valid changes, then delete it! The fact that the people doing this are TAs in the Computer Science department makes me sad.
Also, as a general rule, when copying forward text that says it was updated “last year”, and said text is two years old, there's a little bit of editing that needs to be done. I mean, come on.
On the other hand it certainly is gratifying to see that the notes I spent two years creating and tuning appear to have become the de facto syllabus for the recitations.
