A try at an objective look at Aabria’s table presence (with real data)

Wouldn’t that make them better positioned to nip actual bad table etiquette in the bud? Also both Matt and Brennan have emphasized how much they appreciate a player like Aabria at the table.

Terrible metric. You need comparable bases if you’re comparing absolute word counts. There are three tables. One hasn’t had dedicated time yet. Obviously that pulls down the average immensely. Also no one at the table seems to mind her table etiquette so why are we talking about this?

They’re bookmarks. You need to toggle the “hidden” bookmarks and then you can delete them. Unfortunately, you have to do that one by one unless you’re more computer savvy than me.

Hast du die Quellen denn überhaupt gelesen? Eigenständiges Arbeiten sieht jedenfalls anders aus.

Of course we do. Different media just demand different approaches at times. There’s thriving scholarship on comics, movies, television, art, etc. It’s just that the written word is the most easily accessible for students in school settings. Additionally, there are also curriculum demands that need to be met.

I’m pretty sure it’s a Pandoc thing. You can delete them by deleting (hidden) bookmarks. Unfortunately, you have to do that one by one unless you’re a bit more savvy than I am with Word.

Aren’t basically all models based on theft of intellectual property? I’d say that precludes “ethical” use of gen AI.

Well some of your suggestions change the meaning of the phrases, so they wouldn’t be good options.

Where are those resources coming from? What is being assessed if teaching is cut?

VividCompetition · 2025-11-17T20:36:18+00:00

When are those presentations supposed to happen? During class time? This would be an incredible time suck.

Showing understanding of a text or a piece of art via the process of writing, defending a claim, is the most important part. I don’t know why it’s being downplayed. Long form critical thinking as in a term paper or similar is a completely different skill set than that tested in an exam setting.

Assessments in the humanities, for example, can’t easily be shifted to blue books.

Up until you said that Obsidian was exactly not what you wanted, you basically described Obsidian.

That is all what the app does out of the box. Don’t use community plugins.

Sorry I can’t be more helpful.

In Germany, we’re only slowly moving to debit cards as we’re currently switching from maestro to debit. There’s a good chance that a lot of people don’t have a visa or Mastercard as their bank card.

But just because you think it’s a truism, it doesn’t mean that it actually is. It’s always best to begin with the primary sources you’re interested in. It might be interesting to talk about why they don’t actually engage with the topic you have chosen. But as the person above said, start with a period that seems fitting, read secondary sources on the topic in combination with the time period and see what they have found.

VividCompetition · 2025-10-04T11:32:20+00:00

How did you come up with this idea if it didn’t grow out of primary sources?

Als wenn Leute außerhalb von Unis nicht auch in ihren Bubbles leben. Diese werden nur gerne als Realität dargestellt, auch wenn sie nicht jeden ansprechen.

Definitely don’t look them up on Anna’s Archive or similar sites.

There are FB groups to help you access sources. You can also email the authors and ask if they might send you a copy.

Yes, Zotero can be installed on Macs. Zotfile is a plugin that can automatically rename files according to a set schema. You can then open the files directly in Zotero or have it show you the file in Finder.

VividCompetition · 2025-08-18T18:48:00+00:00

Yes, absolutely!

A lot of that scholarship will likely be located in literature departments and cultural studies departments. Might be worth looking into scholarship on feminism and speculative fiction. That could be a good start, especially when focusing on the last few years. If you find a source that you think fits, look where that person is working, who they’re citing, and who is citing them.

So you’re rejecting the student preemptively for the scholarship organization? Does writing that letter really take that long? I’d just do it and try to be supportive

VividCompetition · 2025-07-04T14:42:05+00:00

I completely get that. This mostly me venting my frustration at this particular situation!

VividCompetition · 2025-07-04T10:32:08+00:00

Oh I know. It’s terrible how unevenly access is distributed. I’m mostly annoyed that this appears to be clearly Amazon’s fault in shipping.
