Every time I hear Doug Emhoff's last name I think of the Monsanto House of the Future (MHOF). Just me?

therefore i will sit on this article for another year without publishing instead

but i will die if i have to cut that paragraph

@BW_Jones "A biden"?

This will be the first Presidential election since 1976 to not have a Biden, Bush, or Clinton on the ticket.

@azshutter Congratulations, i can't wait to read it!

@byeliseam Thank your for all your reviewing!! Curious if you have found that non-perfect articles also get R&Rs at top journals? My over-edited, super-careful articles always get rejected at top journals and accepted easily everywhere else. Curious if its just that my topic isn't sexy...

Knowing there was a shortage of article reviewers during and after 2020, I decided to say yes to every article review request I felt qualified to do. I've now reviewed nearly a dozen and have some random insights to share, mostly for grad students and early career folks.

@kemi_aa Frankly, changing my rubric this way made me realize that all my professors coming up graded me wrong - they gave me A's cause i could write a good paper - a skill i didn't even learn in their class. Grade them for what they learned in YOUR class, that's good pedagogy anyway 🙂

@kemi_aa It's all about the rubric! Give more points for strong, specific uses of class materials, fewer for demonstrating general knowledge. Add new category: "writing style cohesion" - if they generate AI and then edit it, this score is low

@tsmullaney The learning science shows that summarizing what you learned by writing a short paragraph raises retention by 30% (Lang 2016). Reading responses were evidence-based (if a bitch to grade). But yeah, this was the semester many students gave over fully to AI, so what now?

ChatGPT killed the “weekly reading response” I grew up w/ (and still, I confess, fall back on as a teacher). Good riddance. This assignment was never sound—a kind of “checkbox”-style busywork whose removal will clear way for engaging, meaningful, un-AI-able work. /1

My camera found a face in one of my muffins

Huh, my book is back on the Amazon best seller list. Are people suddenly interested in endowments for some reason?

Going through and grading everyone's AI drivel. Catching myself giving credit just when I can tell someone actually did the reading, even when the answer's wrong. How's your finals week going? #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

@TiffanyKWayne I start by telling my students about the time i got a consulting job when Round 2 of the interview process was a mini research project - with cites! Many still do it wrong, but at least i had their attention for that moment.

@Cassie_Boness My assignment: 3 options, 1 is an interview. "Interview someone connected to China. Record if they are comfortable." Student decides to interview his Chinese prof. Forwards me Chinese prof's email: "Please ask Dr. Lee if it is ok if we don't record." New rule next year: no profs.

I’m begging ya’ll to stop asking your students to interview a professor for their class assignments

@AllisonRFloyd Central Ohio: "Excuse me!" "Thank you!"

Time for fun. Share your two most frequently uttered exclamations while driving, based on where you live (city/state/province.) I’ll go first: As a driver in Massachusetts, my two most frequently used phrases are: “GREEN MEANS GO!” and “Nice signal, fuckface.”

Me: Can I move this table? Microsoft Word: Yes. I've also altered your margins, converted all "a" to $, printed page 4, and hidden one of your shoes. Is there anything else I can help you with?

Does anyone actually LIKE endnotes? #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

@kaitlinsm1th @AcademicChatter Love it! I want to try #2. Like, what happens if you say at work: "You're implying that "x." That hurts my feelings and I'm not sure it's true."

@AcademicChatter 1. Deciding which battles are worth fighting; 2. Unapologetically asserting my humanity in the face of nonsense when necessary; 3. Taking daily action in the service of my larger career vision which connects me with broader publics and puts interpersonal BS into perspective.

Anonymous Question "How do you deal with microaggressions and subtle discrimination in academia? It grinds you down and impedes your career just as much as overt discrimination."

@thephdstory After 5 yrs on the job market, I served on my first committee. I learned so much (and had to do and re-do a lot of the work that I botched the first time). If you're not at a top-tier R-1, it's about fit, fit, and fit.

Tell me about your experiences on an academic hiring committee. #AcademicTwitter

Writing an exam for a class that, if taught anytime in the 50 years leading up to 2022, would not have had an exam. We all live in ChatGPTland now. #AcademicTwitter
