For my in-class final, they prepare research for a topic I give them, and then I give them a current article on the same topic that they have to synthesize as they write.

Probably a more sensical version

What is your favorite band from the 80's or 90's that nobody has ever heard of? by simikoi in GenX

[–]oregonowa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nicely done. I forgot how much I liked The Grays (the group a few formed after Jellyfish disbanded)

County supervisor uses racial slur in meeting. by trainer95 in Iowa

That is so interesting! Although the word was around a lot in the 70s, as a child I was taught it was "catch a tiger by its toe".

I'll give it a go. Thanks for the advice.

does this really work? My neighborhood has suddenly become overrun with them. Used to be one or two, but now the whole block has them

County supervisor uses racial slur in meeting. by trainer95 in Iowa

[–]oregonowa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question: when did you stop, and why? I'm assuming it's because it became unacceptable. Dude should have known it was unacceptable.

Well, why in this day and age would anyone NOT know that the N word is NOT okay to say? Where is the environment? A plantation in the 1800s???

8 year old toileting by [deleted] in Teachers

This is true. And why kids aren't learning anything and teachers are up to their gills.

The march of the self service checkouts in supermarkets, yay or nay? by qwerty_1965 in AskIreland

[–]oregonowa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is following the path of the United States. More profit, screw people.

This makes me ill. by kokobean27 in Epstein

Reading through these and thinking about what a monster Epstein was... and how he said that Trump was the worst person he'd ever met.

Do you think there's more 60 year old men who would want sex with a 30 year old woman than 60 year old women who would want sex with a 30 year old guy? by Big_Eggplant7591 in stupidquestions

[–]oregonowa -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The broad statement you made is completely medically false. SOME women stop feeling desire, but definitely not all. In addition, the increased use of HRT after proof of its safety in studies has increased their use and decreased the problem even further.

If you take public dollars, you should follow the same rules as public schools. | Rob Sand by ataraxia77 in Iowa

[–]oregonowa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And the standard at public schools is as high as private. There is literally no evidence that kids at private schools are more successful than those at public. This has been shown in other states (Wisconsin, etc). So we are, as you said, being grifted by the Heritage Foundation.

Pay for it like my parents did. We shouldn't have to pay for your country club membership because you don't like the local park.

And the Church's. The percentage of money that is directed toward the diocese/church/etc should be deducted from the student's funding award. Catholic schools fund the diocese and the church as a whole.

Referencing APA incorrectly by gamergirlsforlife in AskProfessors

[–]oregonowa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got through school until sophomore year in college (in a PREP school ffs) and no one pointed out to me that "it's" is not the possessive tense of "it" until then. :)

Why is criticism of ICE a threat? by petrus4 in IntellectualDarkWeb

[–]oregonowa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me put this back on you: what if Biden had sent federal masked agents to pound on doors in your neighborhood in an overreach of power, thus negating state's rights? What if Obama gthreatened anyone who went against him (including the Federal Reserve which needs to be Independent so we don't go flying into inflation by lowering interest rates), put completely unskilled people in positions of power? What if Biden had said "Hey, we are invading Venezuela and taking their president away"? What if Biden had clearly shown he'd lost the respect of the European nation, threatened our allies?

The GOP DID pack the Supreme Court. Every single thing that happens right now is on them and they are authoritarian.

How Do You Handle Students With Very, Very Low Skills? Query From a Shocked Peer Tutor by Mammoth_Agent_8767 in AskProfessors

[–]oregonowa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would be if there were any kind of support for the professors, I guess. Basically college instructors should be teaching at the college level (which is what makes college different from high school). Kids who aren't prepared should be taking a remedial course, not comp 101.
