Anyone have a syllabus on Family Policy (any discipline, but especially sociology, HDFS, psychology, economics, health) they'd be willing to share? #CoursePrep #AcademicSky

Resharing because I haven’t had any responses, and maybe I’m not using BlueSky right? #courseprep #pocacademics
Scholars of color… do you have a favorite intro reading for non POC about settler colonialism and how to decenter, be co-conspirators, etc?

Thanks! Looking for reading for a class I’ll be teaching soon.

Remember, you only need to get the first two weeks ready, then stay one week ahead.

Okay, so the grading drinking (water) game really helped me get some water in, so I guess it's time for a new one: course prep style.

So #CoursePrepDrinkingGame loading now. (1/?)

1. Find a typo.

2. Realize you don't understand your own directions.

12. Spend way too much time making graphics.

13. Think while making graphics, "I'm spending way too much time on this."

14. Also think, "This is LOW PRIORITY."

15. Ignore yourself, continue making graphics.

16. Go on social media.

I'm struggling with courseprep this year. I want to make an equitable, exciting classroom environment & integrate cool readings...

...but instead I feel like I'm trying to sort out a "defensive teaching" strategy that is just going to be more work (for me) and less fair to students who NEED grace.
August 11, 2026 at 3:29 PM
30. Edit previous assignment again for clarity, typo, etc. One sip per typo/error. Three sips if you make more work for yourself.

31. Fail to understand your own logic in arranging assignments/activities the way you did.

32. Lament having too many tabs open.

excited to read the October issue of @Artforum, which I picked up from @typebooks : I always teach stanley brouwn in my conceptual art course @OCADUniversity and Huey Copeland has been a part of our discussions in recent years, too 📖 ✨ #courseprep #stanleybrouwn

Week 7 prep: Ss run final gels on salmon. This banding pattern identifies species. They write a letter explaining results to the salmon supplier. Then they pitch term project ideas to peers - like a lab meeting. 🕵️‍♀️ 🐠 📝 #STEM #courseprep #HigherEd

41. Lament the fact that you have integrity.

42. Practice productive procrastination by spending an entire day working on some new thing (a liquid syllabus) instead of actually prepping your class. Drink every time you think, "I should be prepping"

I don't have a lesson plan yet for my next class, so maybe I'll just number the students off into small groups and assign them a topic: Nicki Minaj or Cardi B? Discuss. #courseprep

thanks to the leadership of the JHE EB - their decision to resign reflects what many of us have experienced over the years. Given these challenges, what advice to people have for ECRs to share their work? Resources for workflows appreciated! what's your favorite repository and why? #courseprep #TT
