A Pedagogy of the Inevitable

Having been referred to as “just staff” before … (or, its corollary … what do you know about teaching? you’re not faculty …) Makes this real. Recognition of the many possible roles to support student success Asks us to believe that “it takes a village” and to respect all members of said village

To avoid accusations of AI cheating, college students are turning to AI
Students are taking new measures, such as dumbing down their work, spying on themselves and using AI “humanizer” programs, to beat accusations of cheating with artificial intelligence.

Read this thrice … it was a balm. as a musician, focusing on enjoyment and connection along with “performance” brings me to my new musical goal: a Metallica tribute band named Pastor of Muppets … academics of all stripes (students, staff, faculty) would find something here

Reading through How to Be Enough: Self-Acceptance for Self-Critics and Perfectionists by Dr. Ellen Hendriksen

us.macmillan.com/books/978125...
HOW TO BE ENOUGH SELF-ACCEPTANCE for SELF-CRITICS and PERFECTIONISTS ELLEN HENDRIKSEN, Ph.D. AUTHOR OF HOW TO BE YOURSELF Are you your own toughest critic? Learn to be good to yourself with this clear and compassionate guide. Do you set demanding standards for yourself? If so, a lot likely goes well in your life: You might earn compliments, admiration, or accomplishments. Your high standards and hard work pay off. But privately, you may feel like you're falling behind, faking it, or different from everybody else. Your eagle-eyed inner quality control inspector highlights every mistake. You try hard to avoid criticism, but criticize yourself. Trying to get it right is your guiding light, but it has lit the way to a place of dissatisfaction, loneliness, or disconnection. In short, you may look like you're hitting it out of the park, but you feel like you're striking out. This is perfectionism. And for everyone who struggles with it, it's a misnomer: perfectionism isn't about striving to be perfect. It's about never feeling good enough. Dr. Ellen Hendriksen - clinical psychologist, anxiety specialist, and author of How to Be Yourself-is on the same journey as you. In How to Be Enough, Hendriksen charts a flexible, forgiving, and freeing path, all without giving up the excellence your high standards and hard work have gotten you. She delivers seven shifts - including from self-criticism to kindness, control to authenticity, procrastination to productivity, comparison to contentment - to find self-acceptance, rewrite the Inner Rulebook, and most of all, cultivate the authentic human connections we're all craving.

Media coverage of censorship at TAMU has gone global.

The whole world is watching. It's time for TAMU to end its censorship policy and to let students learn and faculty teach openly.

This was the best scene in the best movie I've seen in years. The 'rage virus' as a metaphor for modern media and Dr. Ian Kelson's insistence that the 'zombies' remain fundamentally, redeemably, human is way more interesting than anything AI could ever imagine.
