Thanks, Brett!

I’m excited about this one because it’s my first pub using Bayesian.

New publication out at JSLHR.

Maybe the CAPE-V?

We’ve got some exciting news: OpenCSD and CSDisseminate are joining forces and becoming 1 working group! Our mission is still the same: to spread the word about #OpenScience in communication sciences and disorders. But now we’re doing it together.

A view of my calendar with an event scheduled today at noon, titled “New Event”.

I’m currently being terrorized by a blank event on my calendar for today at noon. Did I mistakenly create this event? Is this an important event that I forgot to add a title/details to?

Only time will tell.🙃

this is why my research projects are always better after 2 years of not doing anything on it

Congrats! An R&R is a great thing to get.

Although, I still wince while reading reviewers’ comments. I don’t think that feeling will ever go away, though. 😅

I have to do this a lot, too - though, I often feel constrained by how it was asked on data collection intake forms. If we/others asked participants their sex, I leave it as that. And vice versa.

Right? And then the arbitrariness varies from person to person when assigning grades for clinical growth. It’s so challenging.

Yes, thank you. I've just been spiraling out about grading/higher ed and excited about what I'm reading.

I appreciate the call for nuance and thoughtfulness from an expert. I'm excited to learn more. ☺️

Congratulations! You've passed the hardest part of the PhD journey (imo). 🎉

👀 yes, plz

Dang. Maybe I should have went to ASHA 😭

I can see that. My hunch is that students are using AI to minimize their risk of failure. And, my hope with ungrading would be to encourage an environment where students feel empowered to take risks.

Ooooh - ty! I have downloaded your dissertation, and I look forward to reading it over winter break (after I finish grading 😭).

So, with that being the reality - how can we facilitate an internal motivation to learn rather than incentivizing students to outsource their writing and thinking to ChatGPT?

Maybe #ungrading?? 🤔

Students want to become #SLPs ⤵️

Need to get into/pass grad school ⤵️

Need to get good grades in their classes ⤵️

Likely turn to AI to maximize the likelyhood of acheiving this goal (which I don’t blame them!!)

But seriously, my assignments this semester were primarily written assignments. But I’m facing a bit of a crisis of meaning: what does it mean to grade written assignments in a post-AI world?

How to Ungrade Without much critical examination, teachers accept they have to grade, students accept being graded, and none of us spend enough time thinking about the why, when, and whether of grades.

Let’s gooooo!

My preferred method of procrastinating on grading finals involves reading extensively about the #ungrading movement. 😅

What do you do in these instances of students “grading” themselves too harshly or easily?

Ironically, whenever I come across spelling or grammatical errors in my students’ writing, it makes me like their writing more. It’s at least authentic and their own. 😅

I lowkey might have just solved the 17-year research to practice gap in CSD. Visit 1 research poster = 1 ticket for the raffle

But for real, I’m always sad I don’t win anything, but I never scan my badge to even be put in the running. 😭

We need researchers presenting posters to scan badges for these things.

True justice looks like me getting a massage AND getting a gift card. 💅

It is very important that I also receive a lululemon gift card. 🙂‍↕️

Men’s rights!

To the right of the laptop, a white and gray tabby cat named Kitty lounges comfortably on a beige blanket. Nearby are a green water bottle, a mouse, AirPods, and a container filled with pens and pencils, with a white lamp in the background.

Writing is so much easier when you have a writing coach assisting you.

10/10 would recommend to all.
