My "Nerd Urban Dictionary" list of fancy words nerds use to prove how smart they are now has more than 200 entries!

I'll bet you're guilty of a few of them (I know I am)

@jwrobertshaw Sparse graphs, man. Wild stuff.

[Bill Hart-Davidson @billhd]

@jwrobertshaw It always makes me think: "Wow, this is like a more interesting timeline version of me!" lol

[Bill Hart-Davidson @billhd]

@mettalrose Oh cool! Yes, this is us! :)

[Bill Hart-Davidson @billhd]

This is the way.

Why do we grade student assignments instead of making them revise and resubmit until they are satisfactory?

[Bill Hart-Davidson @billhd]

@kristinarola all I can think of is JOLT! cola...and then I run away.

[Bill Hart-Davidson @billhd]

@mettalrose Of course that's been a major thread in my whole career. lol. But we try to sum it up in a tidy way (w/ evidence cited in a list of sources) here: https://t.co/Eztpx0W82p

[Bill Hart-Davidson @billhd]

@mettalrose My answer to this is not to be the only, or primary, giver...but to work to build a robust feedback culture among the group. That also is bolstered by the evidence on learning that it is *giving* feedback that is among the most valuable things to do.

[Bill Hart-Davidson @billhd]

@ApoclpseStudent Restaurant quality reference right there.

[Bill Hart-Davidson @billhd]

@VictorJDH lol, MSU has one! https://t.co/ZMU9vSaQ7W

@willybeam24 @bomani_jones 100%

@MereSophistry @SethLargo @DLib24 I would add that a fine version of "getting better" in my formulation is simply "making the sort of writing I will likely be doing easier, less stressful, more efficient"...all fine by me.

[Bill Hart-Davidson @billhd]

@SethLargo @DLib24 @MereSophistry I wasn't thinking of students so much as...most folks who have writing to do of some kind. I agree that student status *should* imply a desire to improve.

[Bill Hart-Davidson @billhd]

@MereSophistry @DLib24 Yes, I often juxtapose "wanting to be better" vs. "wanting to be done." Most people are in the latter group, understandably.

@CCguerilla @JonPiccini I recognize the three humps on the m from his jersey.

@CCguerilla @JonPiccini Pretty sure Shimp was on my baseball team in 3rd grade.
