@aliciaandrz 1. Excessively detailed rubrics - not just one for the students but another one for you as the grader aimed at helping you skim for checklist items quickly. 2. Every assignment gets a document with common feedback phrases to copy paste from. 3. Do it all at once.

those of you who are quick & efficient graders with ~1 week turnaround times, please drop your secrets in the comments. I intend to conquer my anxiety & procrastination around grading this semester.

@NannonStevens LOVE this. Looking forward to reading in more detail!!

Data time. Agree or disagree - In the age of AI, it is a reasonable teaching strategy for an online course to only derive grades from exams.

@CharterVanilla I’m one step away from building a faraday cage around my classroom and making them do everything in person
English
Yup. This is what we (professors) are all dealing with. It fucking sucks. I honestly just guilt students with facts about how it fucks up the environment and other social issues with it until they feel bad.
Steve McGuire@sfmcguire79
An NYU professor AI-proofed his assignments. The students complained they were too hard and that “he was interfering with their ‘learning styles.’”

@CharterVanilla I’m not sure if it varies by area but I got a 2 pack of rapid flu/covid tests at Target for like 25 bucks. target.com/p/flowflex-plu…

Still SO sick. COVID most likely but not showing up on a test. Sick since Monday alternating for chest/cough to my head/sinuses. Please mask y'all. I can't keep getting sick just to finish my research/work (travel necessary as an archaeologist!) 😭 One way masking failed me.

Hello hive mind! Given the current state of *gestures wildly*, I’m looking for other sources than NSF who fund postdoc salaries through grants. Project could easily be categorized in anthro/archaeo, paleontology, geosci, environmental sci, or forensics. Any ideas welcome!

@CharterVanilla @TsaiMeLemoni Just pop a MERV filter either in front of or behind your vents! Worked great for us prior to moving into a house. I do it in hotels too.
English
@TsaiMeLemoni I still haven't figured out best practices for shared air between apartments aside from air purifiers 😭
English
Or assume, in present disease spread conditions, that all shared air spaces carry risk of some kind of infection. I'd rather overdo it and not be sick than do all this "calculation" and still get it wrong.
Also, no risk is only personal risk when it comes to infectious disease.

@Mavumavu91 He’s lucky to have had you to guide him and even luckier that you care so much. Don’t fret, he’ll fly!

I’m up solely to be on standby in case my student needs any help. This would be my first ever MSc student (supervised solo) and he’s handing in today and I’m just texting him and sending him good vibes.
Is this what parenting is like? I am so anxious/nervous for him😭

One of my students told me today that my outfit is “old school.” Like girl please, you’re dressed like my mom in 1997 😂

@oldenoughtosay As a born and raised DC-er who still lives there, I can say this crash was bound to happen eventually…there have been concerns and close calls about congested airspace at DCA for years ☹️ there have even been calls for more flights in and out so congresspeople have it easier

This. I’ve re-worked all of my classes for this semester to have only in-class assignments and activities, and it’s a darn shame.
Juan José Ponce Vázquez@jjponcevazquez
As I prepare my classes for the new semester, it becomes evident that AI is pushing pedagogical advances in education back 30-40 years. Instead of creative independent assignments done outside the classroom, we have to go back to in class assignments. What’s next? Oral exam?

My living room bookshelves at home are full of @boneclones hominin skulls, and I love them, but sometimes I am aggressively reminded how *not normal* this is when strangers…like electricians…come into my house. 🥴

Giving detailed editing and feedback on grad student class term papers is hella exhausting, but when a student drops in an assessment that doing a particular statistical test would not yield an informative result and completely correctly explain why makes it all worth it 🎉
English
Haha since we know the next smear at me, Dr Farley has already corrected the record. A great video to learn more about environmental archaeology too!
