iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Yeah, this was a new thing this year for me too. I know that I'm not going to be every student's favourite, and in the past there have actually been some really constructive comments in there, but this feels different (as with a bunch of things with teaching this past year, tbh)

I'm weirdly relieved to hear that others have this issue of just factually incorrect comments, because last fall I got paragraphs of criticism for not doing things that I did, in fact, do...? (Trying to figure out how to address this in my tenure statement is a super chill time right now)

This is a long shot, but does anyone have access to "Influence of stratification on vertical turbulent mixing in the sea" by Mamayev, 1958 and/or "On a relation between heat flux and temperature gradient in the sea" by Felsenbaum and Boguslavsky, 1977?

While I'm US-based these days I've been keeping an eye out thinking ahead about sabbaticals. I know I saw something at Ocean Networks Canada about a researcher-in-residence program that might be worth looking at? (Just from my own "hmm this sounds cool" list though, no firsthand experience with it.)

Dreamed last night that there was a “Canadian Easter” that was in early March but the whole thing was goose based instead of bunny

I deeply share this skepticism! But even if I completely ignored that and took him at face value, I don't think the argument as quoted makes much sense at all.

I'm also not clear on how any of this does anything about the large lecture hall scenario – the paragraph just before talks about things like quizzes and asynch discussions being most impacted, which are ways to engage that *aren't* sitting in a big class listening to the instructor!

I definitely had this with my large undergrad class last semester – especially in terms of office hour attendance and questions on the discussion board, and anecdotally I'm hearing this from a lot of others. I don't think it's just you!

There's been some discussion on our internal teaching discussion board and somebody linked to this script for Beamer slides: github.com/KitScriven/b... (I haven't tested it out myself yet but it looks useful!)

Life isn’t simple like math where every problem has an answer; it’s more like math, where problems have many answers or no possible answer at all!
