I deeply share this skepticism! But even if I completely ignored that and took him at face value, I don't think the argument as quoted makes much sense at all.

I'm also not clear on how any of this does anything about the large lecture hall scenario – the paragraph just before talks about things like quizzes and asynch discussions being most impacted, which are ways to engage that *aren't* sitting in a big class listening to the instructor!

I definitely had this with my large undergrad class last semester – especially in terms of office hour attendance and questions on the discussion board, and anecdotally I'm hearing this from a lot of others. I don't think it's just you!

I miss it so much 😭

There's been some discussion on our internal teaching discussion board and somebody linked to this script for Beamer slides: github.com/KitScriven/b...

(I haven't tested it out myself yet but it looks useful!)

Amazing news, congratulations!

Everybody thinks 'https://' stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds

dying of FOMO from all your cruise posts, I hope it's an amazing time!

That's so exciting, yay you!

a lot of people are aware that you can factor

i'm honored to announce the factorization
2026 = (45-i)(45+i)

Life isn’t simple like math where every problem has an answer; it’s more like math, where problems have many answers or no possible answer at all!

No seriously because I'm canadian and have felt SO COLD this week 😭 what is California doing to me

For what it's worth, I'm having very similar struggles over here in my fluid mechanics class (though obvs manifesting in different ways from a writing-heavy course). Hard to tailor my teaching if I don't get signals about what is and is not landing for my students...

every day I get emails

thoughts and prayers

let's goooooo

ah yes, the evening nap, the most dangerous of naps

oooh even better then
