@n_hold @erica_d_stevens I might have step 1 of the commenting process be to read the chapter aloud and record it. (The novel is Monkey---many of the students last year grew up watching cartoons)

[Ann Waltner @iasann]

@n_hold @erica_d_stevens I've thought of that too, Maybe a "reading time" for several classes where one provides light snacks.
Requiring that they read aloud is an interesting idea. I am having my freshman seminar (reading a 16th century Chinese novel) pick a chapter and write commentary on it.

@fstflofscholars @sfmcguire79 In Minnesota, anyone who is a resident over 62 can audit courses at any state school (including the University of Minnesota) for free and can register for courses for a nominal fee. Info here: https://t.co/zZ7MSaeSsw

@n_hold I imagine that an attentive audience for that kind of analysis is limited, and would be quite rare outside of the state of Minnesota.

@n_hold Therefore confirming what cats always think--human help is extraneous in every aspect of life, except. perhaps, food, and, perhaps, a warm place to sleep.

@n_hold There's a lot to be said for weekends!

@LisaDNews Take care of your mom. We all need you, but she needs you the most.

@bayesianboy Just say no and don't feel bad about it.

@ruohuang @AsiaSocietyNY @AsiaSociety You are a game changer!!

[Ann Waltner @iasann]

@n_hold Just wait until you're my age!!!

@n_hold One of the things that I try to think about is the changing status of "information"--how should we think about teaching now that "information" is at our fingertips. "Information" is not the point, but it's hard to think and analyze without a fairly firm grasp of it.

@Gebo___ Sirens always go off Wednesdays at noon--it's a test.

Why can't they be about the reading in question, at least as a starting point? Generic questions are hard. You could ask whether the reading in question reminded them of anything else. But it's hard to discuss a reading unless the class has read it.

If you are in or near the Twin Cities (that'd be Minneapolis and St. Paul) go see The Joy List, by Collide Theatrical Dance. It is, as usual, fabulous. We need to support local arts.

For those of you in the Twin Cities who go to the Minneapolis Institute of Art, there are many great restaurants within walking distance and they need customers now. Today I had a wonderful lunch at Meet Up Noodle on 26th street. https://t.co/MA6yOnhoUP
