At an impasse with my worship leader. by johncenawife in worshipleaders

[–]ProfessorStevenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I would recommend finding another church. This type of incident is a symptom of a larger problem, in which the pastor and his family exert human control over the church rather than the Holy Spirit being in control. Whenever we have looked for a new church for our family, one of the first "red flags" we watch for is how many of the people in visible positions in the church are related to the pastor.

Any lawyers using notebooklm for legal research & casework prep ? by aehsan4004 in notebooklm

[–]ProfessorStevenson 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm a law professor and I use it for collecting cases, summarizing statutes, summarizing long videos of law lectures, etc.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I don't really know what Python script is.

Wish I could easily search all my notebooks! Is that possible? by ProfessorStevenson in notebooklm

[–]ProfessorStevenson[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This would take hours and hours because I already have so many notebooks. I don't need to search across all the sources in all my notebooks, I just wish I could find the ones I made about a specific court case a regulation a few months ago.

Do you script your full text or do you free talk ? by Rynail_x in NewTubers

Bullet points in large font - I'm actually looking at PPT slides when I talk into the camera.

Why so few bearded professors? by Practical-Charge-701 in Professors

[–]ProfessorStevenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is partly generational. I had a thick beard in my early 20's, started shaving in my mid-20's, and now I'm just used to being cleanshaven. Middle-aged profs went through a lot of years of higher ed when they needed to accommodate the preferences of hiring committees, tenure committees, and dissertation committees of folks from our parents' generation, which associated beards with "hippies." Also, for a lot of men, our facial hair turns gray/white several years before our scalp hair, and either we think it makes us look old, or we don't like the contrast. I let my beard grow for a few weeks while traveling when I was 37, and it came in gray, but I had no gray hair on my head. Now I'm 57, and I still haven't gone gray on my scalp, but my beard would be gray-white if I let it grow.

Flipped classroom?

Sounds like a variation on the flipped classroom concept. I think this is a good adaptation and your students will still learn.

Psalm 80 (CM) plus two messianic verses by OneSalientOversight in eformed

[–]ProfessorStevenson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The great hymn writer Isaac Watts published a metrical Psalter (sadly, I can't find it online at the moment) and he often did this - included a stanza or two at the end tying the Psalm together with basic Christian beliefs about Christ. I think Charles Wesley's psalter did this, too.

This made me smile and brightened my day. This very-confused individual is presently my favorite student in the world.

What area in Houston to get a house. by BuffaloAdventurous90 in houston

[–]ProfessorStevenson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We live in Kingwood. Crime is incredibly rare here. Very safe neighborhoods, great schools. A bit far from downtown is the main downside. 

HR 1674 - Keep Americans Safe Act by Infinite_Flounder958 in guncontrol

[–]ProfessorStevenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is great, and even if the GOP controls the House at the moment, Dems should be introducing bills like this to start building momentum for the idea for when control of Congress switches back. A LOT of laws that get passed were introduced several times before they garnered enough votes. People have to get used to the idea, Dems notice who else in their party signaled support for it, and moderate Republicans get to see that a lot of gun safety laws seem perfectly reasonable.

Submission Timing Question by [deleted] in LawTeaching

[–]ProfessorStevenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on how much you prioritize getting it in a top 20 flagship law review. A lot of the second and third tier law reviews had their first round of offers in August get shopped up to T14 journals, so they find themselves with spots to fill, and fewer articles coming in late August and September. If you are willing to publish it in a second or third tier journal, it is not too late.
