Beckie Supiano @becksup.bsky.social · 17/09/2024Nothing quite like going to email an expert to request an interview on a big, complex topic, thinking their name is familiar, and realizing you’ve written them before…with a ridiculous question for the footnote of the Chronicle’s daily briefing 🙈 160

Beckie Supiano @becksup.bsky.social · 03/09/2024By the way, I hear lots of confusion about our paywall. If you’re in a campus, your college might provide access. Anyone can register for an account and read 2 free articles a month. And you can sign up to get the Teaching newsletter that Beth McMurtrie and I write in your email for free, too. 030

Beckie Supiano @becksup.bsky.social · 02/11/2023What’s going on with students’ use of ChatGPT and the like this semester?

Beckie Supiano @becksup.bsky.social · 11/10/2023So interesting! This reminds me of some discussion on the other site a while back about students calling all books “novels.” They’re coming in with one idea of reading, analogous to one idea of writing a paper? 240
Beckie Supiano @becksup.bsky.social · 06/10/2023I should have said this the first time: Megan recently shifted beats and is covering faculty issues. So if you have some thoughts on that, get in touch! 021

Beckie Supiano @becksup.bsky.social · 06/10/2023Imagine I’ll live a bit longer with less doom scrolling/ knowing about every bad thing the instant it happens. But listening to people who live/study what I write about interact—and learning about more of them— is tremendous. And social media brings in people who don’t conference, for instance. 120
