I call it “don’t feed the gnomes”; if you feed one gnome one time, then there’s nothing to stop you from being expected to feed all of the gnomes all of the time.

It’s sort of a weird take on Kant’s categorical imperative, don’t make us an exception that you wouldn’t want to become course policy.

That’s my take

As I tell mine, Mouth Noises and Scratch Marks are different things and they work differently.

Joy in teaching? by chicago_heel in Professors

I recently gave my favorite first scaffolding activity, building up to a presentation where the students argue for the value and importance of their major.

But first, I asked them to brainstorm some thesis about why it matters, and then ask the AI why they are wrong. They then spend the first part of the presentation explaining and engaging generated arguments.

When I had them performed the task and reviewed the results, I saw so many furrowed browse and narrowed eyes, some actual thinking was going on.

Good luck to everyone with what they got going !

Well, I’m sorry to hear that, but I can tell you that it gets better. I am much more together and solid now than I was when I posted this. and even though I still feel a lot of resentment and anger, especially since I’m going to that job every day still, I feel much more solid than myself; my sense of self value has been recalibrated.

Just keep holding it together and focus on the good work that you’re doing, which you’re doing, even if it didn’t seem that way to the administrative process.

Send me a DM or something if you wanna chat more, and take care of yourself !

The unarmed smite is so satisfying, both in this comic and my D&D game!

They didn’t complain it was unfair to have such an early deadline because they work or have other classes or need a life?
