@santanu1477 @XfinitySupport @Xfinity @comcast They didn’t share the reasons, just when it is supposed to get resolved, which isn’t actually that helpful: because it doesn’t guarantee that it won’t happen again soon. Disappointing!

Hey @XfinitySupport @xfinity and @comcast - this is the third time in two weeks we’ve had an internet, TV, etc outage that is supposed to last for a full day. Saturday’s lasted from morning til 3:30am the next day. What is going on? Why are there consistent outages?

Hey @XfinitySupport @xfinity and @comcast - what’s with the >12h internet outage in the midst of working hours? & why did the time that it’ll be restored get pushed three hours? Is this going to be an ongoing issue? I want to know so I can plan how I’m going to get my work done!

Being a part of @NewSocioPersp was a meaningful opportunity to get to engage in the world of academic publishing - and it was also good fun! I got to work alongside an incredibly smart, talented, and diverse team. I’d highly recommend it to anyone interested!

Having interviewed students at 6 colleges in 3 states on their experiences in college, I agree. There is so much more to be captured through students’ words than their multiple choice responses (although I am a fan of a well-crafted survey for some research questions).
Dr Madeleine Pownall@maddi_pow

After spending all morning coding 5 hours of focus groups in which students discussed their experiences of online teaching, I'm convinced that all research that wants to say something meaningful about the student experience should be qualitative

@_alyssacsmith If you’d like more data, you can also look at transparent California - a site - to see anyone employed by the UC, CSU, or CCC system - and their salary incl. benefits!

The latest draft of my book is complete! I may actually meet my February deadline! New working title "How College Students Get Jobs: Majors Matter, But Not How You Think." Here is the latest TOC. Would you read this book?
