To work on understanding register in translation, I made my students translate the same text three times: as a murder mystery, a news article, and a tourist brochure. I hope it was fun for them to do bc it's surprisingly fun for me to mark! #AmTeaching

New features integrated into Canvas include a grading assistant, a discussion-post summarizer, and even a way to pair assignments with generative AI tools.

ChatGPT makes you stupider. Dear universities, now you can stop "but we need to train them to use the tool". No we don't. No we fuckin' don't. I am there to help them think and this shit doesn't help them think. #HigherEd #Education #LLMs #ChatGPT #AmTeaching

Did I really just throw in Avatar: The Last Airbender while discussing the humoral theory, alchemy, and the scientific revolution?

Yes, yes I did.

My students will never think I'm cool but they WILL think about research while listening to Taylor Swift. And I think that's beautiful. #amteaching

teachers!

excited to share a new website at this late date of Aug 15 to try to help us collectively prepare for back to school in the interpretative humanities classroom assaulted by the AI grift, so we don't have to go it alone.

Today I got to discuss Laurel Thatcher Ulrich’s A MIDWIFE’S TALE with 85 undergrads.

Best comment: “my life is just as boring as Martha’s but Dr. Ulrich showed that ‘mundane’ doesn’t mean meaningless.” 😂😭

Sometimes work is emails, meetings and crap, but sometimes it's also delightful messages from students. I don't care if this is bragging, getting these chocolates was so touching today, made me tear up. This job can also be meaningful and full of joy <3 #AmTeaching #HigherEd #Academia

Since 2002 I've copyedited 282 scholarly books. Since 2018 I've taught history to many hundreds of college students. I'm proud of these contributions to society, and grateful to the public schools who taught me, and public colleges and unis who employ me.

Informal poll among the 20 students in Western Civ class today: none had ever been taught about the Haitian and Mexican Revolutions, and only a few about the French Revolution. Happy to start fixing that for them.

I love reaching the point in the year where I know students well enough that my neurodiversity really helps me build effective relationships with them, and helps me to help them to manage their neurodiversity. I enjoy working with them and its really exciting to see them grow.
