I'm convinced that the creator of discussion board interfaces in Canvas and D2L hated having conversations. It's feels like they are designed to make you annoyed and disengage.

Thanks for sharing. If you are interested in this topic, I would also highly recommend the Bad Faith documentary and the book Jesus and John Wayne.

Is this the same Dixie Highway that runs through Illinois? I used to live in the Chicago area and was first familiar with the name there.

Is watercress good cooked? Does it have a chewy texture similar to spinach when cooked or more like a soggy lettuce?

I hope that they are prepared to waste taxpayer money on increased recidivism and violence. Cruelty over education never helps anyone except those poised to benefit financially from crisis management.

I do much of the same in my history course. College should be a social experience so why not emphasize more in-class writing and interactive writing assignment. I also emphasize the importance of handwritten assignment--did that even before the AI-pocalypse.

I am thankful for family and all the extended branches of what family has come to mean for me. In these times of anger, frustration, and the normalization of cruelty, I remain encouraged by the steady flow of kindness, courage, and resilience from my close family and friends.

Stockholm City Council rejects US Embassy demands to end DEI programming The Stockholm City Council has rejected the U.S. Embassy’s demands that it comply with the Trump administration’s rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion policies

To the graduating class of 2025, you may feel isolated and attacked here in the United States but remember that we are citizens of the world and that there are more people that stand in solidarity with the principles of democracy than those who are fighting against it.

Student success has been reduced to some meaningless phrase to be thrown around. Any success strategy devoid of actual input from students and sustainable commitments from faculty is meaningless. #studentsuccess
