@SwaginTha865 @chapmamba_ @TheFieldOf68 @RobDauster Anyone with a pulse is a significant upgrade over Hubert Davis.

@chapmamba_ @TheFieldOf68 @RobDauster Rob Dauster hating on UNC. The earth is round.

I have never suggested my research is incredibly important. I write on niche topics and writers that interest me and few others. What’s “important” about my work, if anything, is this: it’s a product of a human being wrestling with what it means to be a human being.

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

recalling English graduate student seminars of the late 20th century in which "literary theory" was the rage, & within a decade or two most of these "literary theorists" were totally out of fashion & near-forgotten.
imagine spending months or years of your life reading "literary theory" instead of what is called primary sources: literature itself.

@TerrxnceBrxwn2 What's with all of the Duke fans lately rushing to the comment section of any UNC-positive tweet?

[Charles Michael Fischer @fischermichael0]

@AdeolaAden64245 @pensandpoison Well, those people got bad advice. I tell my students, only go if it's 100%. About 55 programs offer full funding.

@Nell_BTP @commanders_365 When people insist that he isn't a WR, they are thinking about how many WR's will be kept. You're not going to only keep 5 WR's because Chig is a "pseudo WR."

[Charles Michael Fischer @fischermichael0]

@AdeolaAden64245 @pensandpoison You don't need to pay for an MFA. Most of them offer full funding.

[Charles Michael Fischer @fischermichael0]

@IndieFictionAll Well, there are about 55 MFA programs that offer full rides so it's 2-3 years of fully-funded years to write.

@JMart228445 @JumboElliott76 Not lying about his weight. Dude weighs more than 238 and he's shorter than 6'3.

@GaryMcgolf @Mac_The_Jazz @Razorsnack Unless you consider that part of "performance tracking" is giving the system what it wants.

[Charles Michael Fischer @fischermichael0]

@GaryMcgolf @Mac_The_Jazz @Razorsnack I wasn't being sarcastic.

[Charles Michael Fischer @fischermichael0]

@GaryMcgolf @Mac_The_Jazz @Razorsnack What if teachers are basically told they have to pass students no matter what?

[Charles Michael Fischer @fischermichael0]

@TheMagaHulk It's almost like remote isn't inherently easier than face-to-face.

[Charles Michael Fischer @fischermichael0]

@GaryMcgolf @Razorsnack @Mac_The_Jazz I agree that that's a problem. I see it in my classroom as a professor. It's systematic.

[Charles Michael Fischer @fischermichael0]

@Razorsnack @Mac_The_Jazz No performance tracking? That's hilarious.

[Charles Michael Fischer @fischermichael0]

@Djoko_UTD Wow, he isn't on gear. Amazing.

[Charles Michael Fischer @fischermichael0]

@MajorWKurtz @JasonDukeEvans Yeah that team went to the national title game. Maybe pick another one.

[Charles Michael Fischer @fischermichael0]

@MadeYaLook1714 @thesheedspot @InsideCarolina Yeah, half of them have never even been to NC.
