Academics Write

I did a thing this term where I told my students they were allowed to use ChatGPT. The catch was, they had to tell me about it in a reflection when they handed in their paper. This is a thread about how it all went.

With so many ways to debrief simulation experiences, we wanted to highlight the various uses. Exploring Debriefing Modalities in Healthcare Simulation: Self-Reflect... sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @academicswrite

Currently looking for an External Examiner for a student of ours who looked at Mindfulness and Post-traumatic growth during COVID for her Prof doc thesis in Counselling Psychology. Anyone got any recommendations?

@FromPhDtoLife That sucks! You don’t deserve that.

Horrible people on here like to show me my profile pic and call me things like "horseface" and "dolphin teeth" or whatever, among other insults and absurdities, and it's weird. I put this image, these words on my profile myself. I'm not here to have strangers think I'm pretty 🙄

Please view my new paper a scoping review of the impact of reading on student success in. The short answer is YES! it does. @NurseEducToday authors.elsevier.com/a/1ij9fxHa5cjrP

@prof_nch @mcgillu @CanRevAgency Congratulations. It’s not hard to dream about leaving the university these days.

A quick career update: I will be leaving @McGillU next month to start a new public service career with the Government of Canada as a Senior Workforce Analyst with the Human Resources Branch at @CanRevAgency. 1/7

@Shawpsych Those sunglasses though. Super hip.

They aren’t learning how to write.

The infuriating thing about language is that if you describe this as a "fun little red rubber ball" you're fine but if you call it a "rubber fun red little ball" you sound like you had a stroke, even though there is no official rule about order of adjectives.

If you're serious about grading reform & seek an in-depth understanding of the topic, you need to read (or reread) this lit review. It is the most comprehensive review of grading lit ever conducted by a dream team of grading researchers. academiccommons.columbia.edu/doi/10.7916/D8…

Ditto

@joshua_r_eyler Probably B. Except intertia is a bit of an obscure word and I would think you want to be as accessible as possible. You shouldn't generalize to America.... your work is applicable internationally.

Check out my new grant award!

6 months ago I was fist pumping with good news that I couldn't share on Twitter because of embargo. After a long wait and election interference, I can finally announce I was the recipient of a New Investigators Grant from @Research_MB Thanks to my collaborators and @UofM_Nursing

The student has to put in legwork to get their papers re-reviewed, by providing detailed explainations of why their grade should be higher. The entitled ones that just expect their grade to be raised, can't do this. 3/3

I think it is fine to tell students that they don't get extra credit options. It's also fine to have a policy of not reviewing student work again just because the student asks. 2/x

I'm not sure about this. "Grade grubbing" is a systems problem and something faculty teach students to do (because they learn from doing it once that it works). Second, grading is subjective and students have the right to say, "you missed the boat here" and this is why. 1/x
