LinkedIn really getting on my nerves talking about how to automate grading in order to free up time to prep teaching… like no sorry, just own that you designed a stressful course, push through and give your students the personalized feedback they deserve, and then adjust for next semester πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Just when I don’t think there is another possible order for a quotation mark, punctuation mark, and footnote superscript, my students inevitably produce something completely novel

Last day of the semester is always my favorite - not because it’s over but because I get to have the most candid conversations with students about their honest engagement with the course, its texts, and its pedagogical goals.

Of course bribing them with snacks helps as well!

I was only know it because you forced Peter to include it in our Shakespeare Film class!

Brushing up my syllabus for β€œShakespearean Afterlives” and wondering what your favorite Shakespeare adaptation is?

Personally, I will die on the hill of β€œScotland, PA” πŸ”πŸ”ͺ
