This tracks with my experience, as well. I've been "reminding" students of these A LOT this year. Seems like even the ones that "know" the rules don't remember/know why they are kind of obvious, so writing them out has been very helpful
I have some summer work plans that might conflict with the dates, but I'll look!
Doenet is very cool and my students have benefited from me using it and if you're interested in interactive activities in math classes you might really love it too!
Check out my recent @mathtech.org post showcasing opportunities to get involved with Doenet.org including a funded workshop June 1-5!
For-profit companies/corporations should not have any say in educational practices, no I do not believe that there are exceptions
I am also wary of the dangers of AI, especially with regard to education. But I am not partnering with the largest AI tech companies in order for them to help infuse their tools into my classes, so I guess that's where the differences between us start.
My college doesn't use +/- letter grades, which sometimes is annoying but makes designating the letter grade requirements easier, since I don't have to delimit so finely. Good luck tinkering with the system you've got!
Haters will look at this and say with a straight face "oh no that's too much learning"
There are so many reasons to hate the Sky and to make fun of them for being dysfunctional, people don't need to make this stretch! There are tons of real things we can point to!
Sickos meme, but he's staring out the window at a bird feeder with two house finches poorly edited onto it.
Me, every day after work now that spring is really here.
Got to be on a panel discussion today and that concludes any talk commitments I have until the Fall. The end of the year is upon us!!
The classic "say the thing I'm thinking of," there are many variations and they all suck
Iterations of Homework Policies
I still get this kind of fear a bit but much less often. Seems like it only shows up when either things are very overwhelming or things are really slow and I have time to get in my head. If I can hit the balance of busy but still on top of stuff, I don't notice it much
Sorry about the weather, Slim 😅
We got one of our vets on the mic after the first day of Training Camp action 👊
RIP to the sports fans tormented by the gods for their hubris but I'm different. And better. Maybe even better than the gods
I've had a complicated few days, but they gave me a chance to launch my political mathy newsletter:

I have a script I'll be testing to scrape interesting/relevant things from the Federal Register to send out regular updates (with short commentary)
Which one of you got your congressperson to intercede? I need to give you and your representative a hug.
I was a Raptors fan when they got swept by the Wizards in 2015, and when they got exposed as frauds by the Cavs in 2017 and 2018. These playoffs can't hurt me
this is tracking towards slotting in as roughly the 11th-most upsetting raptors playoff loss to the cavs on my personal ladder of pain
Weird that they just decided to call it at halftime and not even play the second half, huh
Need the Scottie midrange and hooks to get heating up
I am delusionally high on the pairing. When Jakob was out in parts of the season, the Raps played CMB/Scottie frontcourts and it was incredible to watch. Defensive monsters, and CMB males a lot of good offensive decisions with positioning and stuff.
Maybe the league will learn who Scottie Barnes and CMB are in this series.
Very excited to hate their commercials soon because they're on all the time, get that money!
I like watching the first NBA playoff game and seeing commercials starting WNBA players. A'ja hosting a late night show to sell her shoes, Paige not buying a truck, commercials are dumb but at least they star cool athletes
Collin Murray-Boyles has never made a mistake, I don't know what you're talking about, he's perfect and beautiful and did I mention he's perfect
Has anyone checked on the "the real world doesn't have deadline extensions, so neither will my students" professors?
A million procrastinating faculty members all unclenched their jaws and felt their shoulders loosen at once.

Yup! I have some more typical in-class testing, but I use a standards-based system of grading. So students test and can re-test on specific topics for the main portion of their grade in the class.
