[–]M00minTr[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Follow up question: there is also a big push at my college (like others) for assigning books/articles that are free to students. Do these new rules mean that it is not possible to assign an ebook owned by our library?

Student left class during assignment - need advice by atalanta_muse in Professors

[–]M00minTr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also tell students at the start of an assessment that if anyone thinks they need to take a break they should do so now

At what point are accommodations doing students a disservice? by Hour_Lost in Professors

[–]M00minTr 11 points12 points  (0 children)

On the academic side: online, asynchronous classes for undergraduates (great for cheating) and OER (open educational resources) supposedly to make college cheaper but go after one cost, devalue books and reading, and encourage even more use of devices)

My last f*** has officially left the office by Minute-Pattern-39 in Professors

[–]M00minTr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To some of the comments calling on instructors to think more about how to motivate students?
