Would it be weird to show a program I wrote to my professor?

AI Thread Summary
A second-year Computer Engineering student is developing an 8085 assembler simulator due to dissatisfaction with the outdated version provided by their professor. The student is considering sharing their simulator with the professor but is uncertain about how to approach the situation without coming off as disrespectful. Advice suggests sending a polite email to the professor, framing the request as seeking his opinion on the new simulator rather than implying superiority. Emphasizing humility and curiosity in the communication is recommended, as it could positively reflect on the student's initiative and work. The student expresses gratitude for the guidance and feels reassured about reaching out.

I'm a second year Comp E student, and in an intro class we're learning 8085 assembler. The professor wrote his own simulator for the class, but it's kinda buggy and I feel like it's been given minimal updates since he wrote it some 15 years ago. I was looking for a programming project, so I wrote my own 8085 simulator. The problem is now I'm not sure what to do with it. I was thinking I could show it to my professor, but I'm not sure if that would be weird?

Any advice would be appreciated :)

Just send him a polite email (last thing you want to do is insult him) and say you have written an 8085 simulator and you wanted his opinion on it because he has written one before for your intro class. Maybe from there you can suggest that he uses it in the future. But just approach it as a 'look what i did' instead of 'im better than you'.
 
Try to be humble about this if you can. In any case I think you should show your professor. If your work is good this will reflect very very highly on you.
 
Alright, thanks. I just wasn't sure how to word the email, but I think asking for his opinion on it sounds good. I also wasn't sure if it he would see it as annoying or if I would be bothering him, but I guess not.

Thanks for the advice!
 
TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
