What started as a joke tweet became an AAR paper, and is now the most fun article I have ever written. Thank you @dialoguejournal.bsky.social for giving it a home, and elevating it with truly the most camp images. I am so excited to bring these glistening and brawny men to the queer studies issue!

Yeah, we have been using ALEKS as well but some grant money is running out and it now feels cost prohibitive at the volume we've been using it. I don't know that any "product" is going to solve that problem for us.

Do any of my math people on here have experience with the Möbius placement test through the MAA/DigitalEd?

(Even just knowing a ballpark cost would be great - I love digitaled's selling point on their website of "radical cost transparency"...gentle reader, they will not tell me the cost.)

I literally say every year in stats: "A random variable isn't random or a variable. Other than that, it's a perfect name."
