Our book #TeachingGradually @StylusPub is out now!!! Couldn’t have done it without the help of my amazing co-editors & fellow authors @kaciela9 @greenleejw @Derina_Samuel @diananewby @adi_anupam @AgSystemScience @danny_doucette @krit_vachali @thelifeofjenks @athangeolas (1/n)

I had the opportunity to be a member of a panel of educators at @UCIrvine to discuss remote class preparation.
I discuss how I used backward design strategy, @perusall, and alternative assessments. I also share student feedback and lessons learned.

@BjornLomborg I noticed you are invited to conservative platforms more often, is it because they embrace you, or you choose not to show up on other platforms? (I must say I noticed you never endorsed a party, nor gave mean comments on climate activists, etc.)

[Amir Saeidi @64_Amirs]

@BjornLomborg Hi Bjorn. I find your point of view interesting. When I look for critiques on your work, I see 2 main points. Your team is biased toward conservatives, your references are not saying exactly what you are saying. What's your opinion?

@rezahakbari @bbckalbasi به نظرم باید ترکیبی مثل "سهل ممتنع" برای ترجمه این عبارت ساخت.

@eric_mazur Eric, I asked my students how Perusall helped them? These are the top 3 responses I got:
1. I learned from my peer.
2. I did some research to answer my peers’ questions.
3. Encourages to read.
I loved the second one!

[Amir Saeidi @64_Amirs]

I'm using @perusall since 2018. Based on my survey results, the majority of my students think it helped them to come prepared to class, and agree that Perusall assignments helped them to learn the concepts.

One of the differences between remote teaching and in-person teaching: in remote teaching, the instructor is the first person in the class, but in person the last!

... چند دقیقه زودتر در محل قرار حاضر شدیم اما اولین نفری که سر قرار حاضر شد، ۴۰ دقیقه تاخیر داشت. خوب هنوز به این نتیجه نرسیده‌ام که اگر برای مردم در تهران، وقت این قدر بی‌اهمیت است، چطور در خیابان این قدر بد رانندگی می‌کنند و سر ثانیه‌ها با هم رقابت می‌کنند. راستش گیج شده‌ام ...

@Masoud_gh آرزوی بزرگش چی میتونسته باشه؟ آیا؟

@DavoodEftekhar بعد از اینکه تو رو پیدا کردم اینجا تایملاینم فرهیخته تر شده.

Just googled about engineering Ph.D. dropouts. It was interesting to see 3 of the top 5 results are saying it's ok to quit Ph.D.

@ActToCap @KCooperWeddings Congrats, Bri.

@SenatorDurbin has always been trying to solve problems in the immigration system. The RESILIENCE Act is one of those solutions that recaptures unused green cards for the much needed doctors & nurses stuck in backlog without paralyzing the immigration system & blocking the ROW.
