College is the first time when a lot of wealthy and privileged students learn that their experiences aren’t normal and they almost always get really weird about it

@mrs_g_rider Mine was! 20+ years ago, TX had a program where if you could get a school to hire you w no degree, usually moderate-performing rural-ish school, that would count as student teaching and you would have mentoring throughout the year.

This article in Rolling Stone is a hell of a read.

“I saw who was building the AI systems and their points of view. I saw what they were being used for, and I was like, ‘Oh, my God, we have a problem.’ ”

As an academic writing coach, here are the 7 most common mistakes I see researchers make when writing the Introduction section of their paper.

Favorite experiment in my game theory class: the class decides whether to get 1 bonus point or give next year’s class 3 bonus points. They know last year’s class got the same choice, but don’t know what that class decided until after making their own decision.

@LindsayMasland In one intro class, I hauled in a box of intro textbooks - new, old, different organizational principles - and asked them to figure out what the course was about. What questions were central, which were peripheral, and what info they used to determine this. Have worksheet.

He told me I had our version of a repetitive injury, and had been knocked out of the writing game when it had become catastrophic. The harder I tried to get back in, the more I would injure myself. Put away the laptop, he said, just as I would stop running if I had a fracture. /6

This year in my community college biology class, I'm trying a sticker chart!

I want to incentivize & celebrate certain behaviors 🥳 without including them in the grade.

I'll report back on how it goes later this semester!

[Jennifer Polk, PhD (she, her) @FromPhDtoLife]

One challenge for folks in academia, including graduate students, is to try to separate who you are from what you do.

Try this: How would you describe what you do without referencing your degree, discipline, job title?

Go!

A lot of academics are getting upset that Twitter might be disappearing as we know it. A robust source of networking will fall away. Let's acknowledge how much this shows that conferences alone are not enough.

[Robert Talbert @RobertTalbert]

Pushback on alternative grading practices can come from anywhere - and many times it's from "above". This week at #GradingForGrowth I write about how to build trust and get buy-in from an important demographic: The administration.

This quote by Arundhati Roy lives rent-free in my head: “There's really no such thing as the 'voiceless'. There are only the deliberately silenced, or the preferably unheard.”

[L. Maren Wood, PhD @drmarenw]

Are you passionate about your research? Don't feel compelled to say yes. Presumably, you were passionate when you applied to your PhD program. But things change. Priorities get rearranged. It's only natural, and only human. Embrace your changing priorities; don't run from them.
