More #grading posts. It makes me unreasonably happy that none of my students have yet talked about a "casual connection" instead of a "causal connection." #lrw

With #Thanksgiving coming up, many of us are thinking of those less fortunate than us. Feeding America's website has links to local food banks if you want to #giveback this season. www.feedingamerica.org/hunger-blog/...
