✳️ systematic biases (e.g., racism, sexism)
✳️ poor construct validity
✳️ undermine standards and learning
We should evaluate teaching as seriously as we do research. Or don't do teaching evaluations.
Going to pay a price, on my student opinion surveys (aka "teaching evaluations")....
....for making my students stick to a deadline they've known about for 10 weeks.
Ain't academia fun?
Is there a word for this?
Serious question
Why, in the English language, do we use the term "mirror" to mean both
✳️ reflect back exactly
✳️ reflect back the opposite
And... how did we get here?

Doesn't work that way. AI, like computers themselves, will be about ramping up, not slowing down.
I think this is also true of the Kitty Genovese case.
The original story was NOT as we "knew" it to be for decades.
But bystander apathy IS a thing, regardless. Based on research findings.
