@BryanAlexander @timurkuran Increase the number of faculty and make education accessible to more kids
English
@timurkuran Oral presentation can work if:
-faculty learn how to conduct and assess it
-class sizes are small (note the love for Oxford tutors in this thread)
-oral work gets integrated into curriculum and class design
English
AI just killed higher education’s old teaching model. We need smaller classes and oral defenses for every paper—implying more faculty time, hence more professors. Since banning AI is unenforceable, written work alone can no longer be trusted.

Name a TV episode that felt like a movie masterpiece.

Sven Beckert’s new book, “Capitalism: A Global History,” argues that the arc of capitalist history has always bent toward the shrinking of freedom. Read Jeremy Adelman’s review:

The new redistricting map in Virginia is classic microlooting. Such a sad reflection on the Commonwealth's leaders and influencers @BryanAlexander @bfry1981

By a margin of 3% Virginia goes 10-1. This constitutionalizes political suicide @BryanAlexander
English
@BryanAlexander Still. Va just constitutionalized this. There will be a reckoning

@Mark_Rush True. But how often are US elections that, esp. off season?

Don't read Yale admin's report to understand how or why they lost touch with the school's educational mission. Read Eaton's Bankers in the Ivory Tower, Chap.4 on "How Universities Became Hedge Funds."
