Another 88 less obviously used it.

Are any other educators dealing with an absolute dumpster fire of semester?

42 of 211 opened the Chicago Style walk-through video I recorded. 32 of 211 did not respond to the prompt at all. Another 57 ignored minimum prompt requirements. 38 didn't submit their midterm at all. 13 submitted papers clearly from another class. 22 obviously used AI.

We get paid the same... we both teach the same course. I don't think they even read the papers. One with an A+ was riddled with factual inaccuracies.

I'm putting in 60+ hours a week teaching 7 different preps this semester for the exact same pay. Why?

Just sent a follow on Twitter to DM

That would be great! I have a lot of similar materials, but I normally don't teach upper div soc classes so I'm definitely second guessing my content delivery considering how rough this class has been.

Def on my prep list to put together something along those lines in lecture form for next semester. We had an open workshop on it, but only five students, five who already could read and understand the articles attended.
Is this a formal lesson or just go through the article during a class?

This also might just be venting, I'm also struggling to get them to read prompts. It's been a hell of a semester.

A majority of the class, most of them soc majors are failing and I have no idea what to do. 4/4

I can't turn this into a intro course or a general methods course at this level. I have prepared a bunch or peripheral materials on how to read articles and identify things like research q's, lit review, research methods etc and either its not helping or they aren't making use of the resources. /3

Two questions about students.

Are peer revied articles not being assigned in CC courses or lower div courses?

Or are students not engaging effectively with the assigned readings at that level?

Main q, what can I do to help facilitate reading comprehension at this level? /2

It's maddening watching conservatives (and unfortunately moderates) now just openly defending white nationalists and eugenicists.

The Overton window shifted way more aggressively than I could've imagined.

The fact that the uncritically platform this when he and his project are illiberal by his own admission is astonishing.
