Great idea, I can see how all the air pockets make it burn like compressed gas! I tried this with a peanut years ago, it was lackluster compared to your cheese doodle.

A funny joke would somehow include the heavy ring stand.

A small butane canister with a burner attached. Canister is clamped to a ring stand. The apparatus is on a lab bench with a fire extinguisher and emergency eyewash station in the background. A striker is nearby.

If your class doesn’t have gas piped in (mine doesn’t), butane canisters are an effective option. Add a clamp for security and you’re good to go! #EduSky #ChemSky

I think a personal statement gives you a broader range of things to talk about (what are you interested in) whereas a statement of purpose is fairly targeted (what are your goals and why).

We need to address this before students get to you. I teach high school, where we have more control over students. I recommend: no computers during class time and all assignments completed in writing, in class. If a student sneaks home work to finish with AI, dock the grade, then give a 0 next time.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

It’s a tradition that I ask my β€œPhysics III” class to create some memes about our class material. It’s *also* a tradition that they’re super good at this. Please enjoy, like and share! πŸ§ͺ

(I promised my students extra game points if this goes nano-viral!)
