As an instructor, all I really want is for students to put in effort and learn something in my course. If they decide to put that effort and learning toward crafting clever AI prompts and editing/adapting AI text to make it undetectable or meet assignment requirements, so be it.

ADHD Tip: Time-based Goals Don’t use outcome-based goals: finish the paper, clean the office, file my taxes Instead, use time-based goals: write for 30m, clean for 10m, work on taxes until 8pm Gives you positive reinforcement—you feel success even if time estimation is off.

Is this supposed to make me feel "reassured" that I won't be killed by a snake... or now also afraid of being killed by lightning strikes?

How much of a gamer geek is my kiddo? Well, last night, he was making Minecraft mods of characters from Baldur's Gate 3 (a D&D RPG).

In my undergrad crim class, a student asked me what the difference between reckless and negligent conduct is. "You will learn ALL about that if you go to law school"

A common view in teacher preparation is that conceptually-based approaches are more generalizable than practice-based approaches. This study from Zid Niel Mancenido and colleagues shows that practice-based approaches can result in better transfer to other situations: bit.ly/40H7wE4

Turns out, teaching my usual class in addition to my full-time job while pregnant at age 39 with an 8yo in 4 activities was not my brightest idea 🙃 Still a good semester... but just so exhausting

NEW: an ideological divide is emerging between young men and women in many countries around the world. I think this one of the most important social trends unfolding today, and provides the answer to several puzzles.

The worker at the taco truck accidentally added cheese to my breakfast tacos this morning... and who am I to argue with fate?

4 weeks in to my 14-week maternity leave, and I am feeling so grateful to work for a company that treats employees as whole people in both policies and work culture. I only wish this was the norm...and not something that I am very privileged to have.

I did the NYT crossword for the first time in years, and either they've gotten easier or I've gotten smarter... or just older. Probably that.

I absolutely love hearing from students who get in to whatever program I write them a rec for - med school, law school, study abroad, whatever! It really brightens my day to hear that excitement from a student and know I played a small part.

If people on the internet are arguing about freedom of speech, it is probably a situation where freedom of speech doesn't actually apply

Planned to update the syllabus and Canvas page for my summer class today. Instead, I spent 6 hours buying bins and reorganizing my pantry. Whoops 🤷
