I have graded 100 freshman-written research papers in the last 4 days. My brain is absolute mush.

Time to watch the best up and coming pitcher in baseball take the mound. Yoshinobu Yamamoto will also be there. #BravesCountry

The Book of Esther is the subject matter for tomorrow's class. Feels oddly pertinent.

@jasonstaples Thankfully, it would only be two preps. Four sections of a class I will have taught several times by that point, and Intro to Biblical Hebrew, which I've taught previously elsewhere.

@RaleighHeth Perfectly doable depending on which classes, how many new preps, and how close/far from expertise

I have been made aware that I have the opportunity to teach a class that I very much want to teach next semester *if* I teach it as an overload. Has anyone taught five classes in a semester before? Is it just completely untenable?

Also, I would be fairly compensated and I love my job/department/overall situation. No one is being taken advantage of.

A good old fashioned case of plagiarism is a welcome surprise in this age of AI. Classics are classics for a reason –– sometimes you just want to hear 'em play Freebird.

One more from Stephen Wilson Jr.’s splendid show Friday night at Buckhead Theatre in Atlanta. “Kid” is one of my favorites off his terrific Son of Dad album.

Other than potential issues with accessibility, which I'm more than happy to accommodate, I kind of fail to see any drawbacks to handling small writing assignments in-class rather than at home. /end

And when I say "better," I mean better in every conceivable measure. The prose are better, the analysis of the text is better, their ability to adhere to the prompt is better, it's more creative. It's a pain to sift through the handwriting, but who cares? /2

Something I've noticed in grading low-stakes response papers this semester (and boy, have I graded a lot): My students' writing is much, much better when it's done longhand on a piece of paper in class instead of at home on a computer. /1
