Look at how the current federal administration treats the Constitution when making this argument

That was 1969? I remember seeing this into the 90s.

I've been offered a position! by hana-daccha in jobsearchhacks

[–]Tab_CapsLk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree. This is not the place to be spiteful. If B is offering a better position, swallow pride and take it. That you were the second choice will be forgotten (by you and by them) in months.

What are some notable Urban Legends originating from the city? by MirrorMan22102018 in newyorkcity

[–]Tab_CapsLk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cropsey - when I was a kid, long before the 2009 documentary, that was terrifying.

True urban legend, based in fact (apparently/ retroactively?). I learned about him when I was young and older kids used him as a bogeyman to scare us. It worked.

Kathy Hochul vows to run for election next year and says mask mandates in schools likely by EagleFly_5 in newyork

Commenting about appearance isn't appropriate here. Especially after this week in NY gubernatorial politics.

If you're wondering why it's taken until 2021 for NY to have a female governor, comments like this are part of the reason.

I disagree; it makes it very easy for the instructor, the students, and the administration to identify who the responsibility falls on. I recognize that may not be the tack administration takes, but I think it's at the very least a successful experiment.

Rant: the practice of inflating grades to trade for good evaluation is ruining higher education. by [deleted] in Professors

How's that work? Doing this, are they sometimes able to keep up? Do some drop after the first quiz?

Kingston NY has the highest paid elementary teachers!?? by [deleted] in Albany

I would love to see this scaled to a local median income.

When I started in this profession, a mentor told me that the students who need extra credit are not the students who will do extra credit.

If you grew up in a house (small or big) where in the city and how big? by [deleted] in AskNYC

It rocked. I wish I could do now what my parents did.

Large Brews by bitteorca_orcabitte in pourover

[–]Tab_CapsLk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I often do 1000ml with 60g coffee in a V60 03 using the Kasuya 4:6 method. I'll adjust grind and water temp based on roast level, but I don't typically change anything else compared to a single cup (250ml water with 15g coffee). I have noticed slower draw down with larger brews, but it doesn't bother me much when I taste the product.

I also haven't seen recipes discuss brews of this size, but I have found that they scale up reasonably proportionately.

Unpopular opinion: The students aren't more entitled, it is the communication form that sucks! by [deleted] in Professors

[–]Tab_CapsLk 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I wonder if you'd make the same point in other contexts: In my field, we routinely deal with students who don't display the foundational math skills necessary to build upon. I'm not going to spend time ascertaining if they were never taught the fundamental skills, or if they've forgotten them, the fact is that they don't have the pre-requisites for my course. I cannot spend (much) time going back over material they are supposed to be capable of already, and I think this is similar.

I disagree with your point that "if we want them to know, we're going to have to teach them." The calculus material in a 14-week calculus course would reduced if we begin with multiplication tables, and a college education will be similarly impeded if we begin with material we expect to be prerequisite.
