Math prof at a non-R1 uni. I blame no one but myself for my smothering mediocrity.

@BlackLabelAdvsr No worries. We will f**k it up, as we always do.

@hardest_my Completion of a task /= knowing something.

[Prof. Goat @ProfGoat]

In my calculus class, I said "to pass this class, you have to know things." The room went as quiet as a morgue.

[Anna Stokke @rastokke]

Somehow we've reached a point in education where:
- teaching kids explicitly is controversial
- academic rigour is treated as a threat to student wellbeing
- memorizing math facts is discouraged or considered unnecessary
- practice is dismissed as "drill and kill"
Low expectations are not kindness, and nothing hurts someone's confidence more than falling further behind every year.

@hardest_my Study and learn well enough for their knowledge to be portable. 🙄

@Neutron_BOI Ominus? 15 years ago, a classroom full of engineering students would have said "well, duh?"

Oh, by the way, you can't say "brown bag" lunch anymore. 😂

@ass_deans How do you think I do those projects you assign me?

[Okay you have some skill @Sumskillz]

@erica_d_stevens @insidehighered 200% more admin tasks for faculty, some places, 500% more. Document this, document that, evidence based decision making by management needs data that has to be manufactured. Also whole layers of approvals- syllabus, assessments, academic misconduct charges, trips,

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

"[D]avenport and Ballew signed a two-year lease in October 2023 for a vacation property near Miami that cost $30,000 a month". What people fail to realize is that this is an investment in the future of our students.

@RCBlueState @educator4ever36 I realize that NOW, and that makes life easier.

[Mathieu @miniapeur]

Fields medallist Hugo Duminil-Copin was deeply shaken by OpenAI’s release of more than 700 AI-generated mathematical manuscripts, including work on 16 questions directly relevant to his research.

“On Tuesday night, I cried, and it woke up my daughter”

“They have annihilated my field of research.”

Universities say they’re so concerned about wealth inequality.

Apparently the solution is to pay the president over 1 million a year, give an army of administrators high six-figure salaries, and leave teenagers with the debt.

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

I understand that you can’t make my meeting with the Provost, but that’s okay; you weren’t invited.

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

Remember all those things the dean promised you? The provost said no. To everything.

[Prof. Goat @ProfGoat]

Unpopular opinion: if you want to make a good grade in calculus, you need to know things. #highered #maths #math
