BEWARE OF BOTSHIT: HOW TO MANAGE THE EPISTEMIC RISKS OF GENERATIVE CHATBOTS Such a good article. Thanks @AssessmentG for recommending the slide deck version papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

one of the unwritten curriculum things is that this is something that upper middle class or above kids know but lower SES undergrads definitely don't. the one activism thing I do in teaching sections is finding a way to mention this every term.

@MegMulrooney @JMUcampushist @jmuCFI @JMUCAL @JMUFAC So great! What a way to show from your values and educate visitors. Love it!

@curriculargeek @aacu Solid slides. Always.

@dr_kkjetelina @USPS From your lips to God’s ears: ours arrived Monday.

Alright powers that be…it’s time to bring back the free @usps COVID-19 antigen tests. I’m really not liking this graph right now

@CitizenSE @rkelchen @FredUnivSenate How expensive do those programs have to get when not supported by tuition from the less expensive programs? Or do you slash overall budgets as part of this?

@rkelchen I'm leading consideration of whether @FredUnivSenate should be pushing for differential tuition by sector and degree program. Thanks for the reference.

@KateDMcConnell @MegMulrooney Same here. Is it really the open bar?

You don't have to recruit the smartest students. Recruit the students who are teachable with strong work ethics. #ProfessorTip

Just 14% of college students feel that they have received good service from their school’s career center. Colleges must move beyond a simplistic view to understand how structures fail to provide for students, writes @SethBodnar @umontana insidehighered.com/views/2022/10/…

Confirmation bias is twisting the facts to fit your beliefs. Critical thinking is bending your beliefs to fit the facts. Seeking the truth is not about validating the story in your head. It's about rigorously vetting and accepting the story that matches the reality in the world.
