still working this out! rn 22 students are divided into two groups. I collect one group's notebooks, grade and comment, then return. Probably each student submits every other week, and I have a pile of 11 every week?

Susie Steinbach @susielaurie.bsky.social · 2d

Extreme, I know.

The notebooks are also a channel of communication bw me and each student.

They don't like handwriting, and I don't love reading it. But there's been no LLM submissions yet.

Gotcha! Yeah that would be tough to implement right now. This semester I'm trying something a colleague in English does. Students each have a composition notebook. All their writing (some in class, some at home) is handwritten in the notebook. I collect, comment, grade.

Can you clarify what you mean by "enough resources to write while engaging w the texts"?

Susie Steinbach @susielaurie.bsky.social · 7d

that's exactly where we were a few years ago--using an old, clunky, and in our case home-grown registration system. when it finally failed, Workday.

I teach a course on history of police and prisons in Britain and the US, to a mix of history and criminal justice majors.

I can't cancel my subscription because I already canceled my subscription

Ashton Pittman @ashtonpittman.bsky.social · 26d

So the Washington Post fired Karen Attiah—a Black woman—for doing nothing more than quoting Charlie Kirk's words about Black women?

Is that what I'm understanding here?

I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.
