W12, #PRWR691 Research methods: reading Albers' 2017 Quantitative research in the graduate curriculum, revisiting each of our variables and seeing how they tie back to/help answer the Ho, H1s. What type of data is this? What kinds of tests help answer our question? Are we asking the right questions?

IMHO midlevel university Ss also don't often have a chance to really reflect on what they want after graduation, see where their strengths/dislikes lie, and map out the steps they will take to get there.

I don't think Ss get a chance to show their personality in their writing, and that is fun to learn about. Who are you in the lab? Folks are better at some things than others, and Ss can use this argument to ensure their future jobs are what they want.

tomorrow, Ss in #ENGL318 submit their complete AR v1s for peer review to user-test them on a lay audience. They will point out how memorable each story/example is and see how it connects back to the main argument. Also a great management exercise for Ss who will soon be managing their own teams

in this one draft (Annual Report, v2 Section 1), I can:
⚛️ note how well the S is at explaining scientific concepts to a lay audience, advise on plain language,
📊point out where quant/qual data from their infographic will strengthen their claims,
🎨illustrate who they are when working in a lab, team

the best part about assigning submitted drafts for feedback is you can PUSH for what could be covered/how it can be covered/expanded in the next version so the student gets a really valuable doc at the end of the semester. Obvious but still delights me.

Nothing of real value has been done for Americans under this regime, but they do spend a lot of time and $$ legislating ideology like crime.

why do the best ideas for new research studies pop into your head when you have a sea of grading to finish? I wanna get in the literature!

it was re: statements in LinkedIn posts tbh! but yes you are so right about these boundaries and grappling with establishing contexts

I do not like
my plants want to be outside! 🌱

so tired of reading opening statements that are "in the age of Ai..."

Today's Tuesday tasks:
✅address an advising Q email
✅med. illustration example for #ENGL318 tomo
☕accessibility in figures, tables, charts for #ENGL318

the trend is big, yes, but note that there is also no 0 point on the x axis. #ENGL318 #tablesNcharts

ach, just got the best-information-design-organized email set of questions from a tech comm student and it is delightful. Bullets, color coding, thinking 2 steps ahead of her user, considering her audience, the works. She is currently enrolled in 2 #techcomm service courses ahora. #ENGL318 #ENGL317

Shoutout to The Atlantic reporters for publishing these massive scoops instead of waiting years to put them in a book.

these would rock 🧁

I'd like to see this $1,000 hat.

oye, I have ground to a halt. Maybe another walk?

No amount of AI literacy can protect us because the problem isn’t knowledge, or how to use the system, it’s that the system exists in a culture that has been radically structured around white supremacy and patriarchy and your precious autocomplete incorporates it into its operations.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS SHATNER

I've reached my mental limit on feedback for the day but I still have 8 little sections to go! 🥲Hope a walk helps.

honestly when a nonmajor says they want to come into tech comm, I most always tell them to keep at least a minor if not double major in their OG area for content specialization, esp in the sciences. This works out really well for folks when they are on the job search.
ENGL + BIOL
ENGL + ENVS

some days Duo authentication is what puts me over the edge 😅

Today's tasks:
✅empty out my brain into lists
✅pot up seedlings to bigger pots
☕feedback #ENGL318 Annual Report v1 section 1s
☕review Qual studies in #PRWR691
☕meet w D to talk purpose statement strategy (+see her poster)
☕meet w B to talk #PRWR691 W12 plans, qual study feedback
☕walk dogs 2x
☕Pelo

Same as it ever was. Software built for bosses do very specific things, such as intensify work.

😂 love it

YES a nonmajor tech writing/info design student who I told has a lot of comms talent is BACK to talk MORE.
YESSS ☕

Pennsylvania's motor-voter system effectively screens non-citizens from voter registration • Pennsylvania Capital-Star The audit also revealed problems with PennDOT’s data security protocols and recommended tighter internal controls.

Pennsylvania's auditor general, a Republican, audited 210,000+ new voter registrations under Gov. Shapiro's new motor voter system to see if noncitizens were registering to vote.

They found one. One.

And that was because a PennDOT staffer erred. It was fixed before the driver left the office.
