I **love** it when new papers in my specialty, especially ones that promise amazing results, turn out to be AI slop posted by slop specialists with no expertise in the (sub-)field.

As someone who was forced to use Active Learning in grad school, it was hell for me too. Too many social cues to follow, too many unspoken/unwritten norms to break down. Now I'm having to learn how to lecture properly, since I was never mentored on how to do so properly during my training.

It's literally "just" calculus. Force isn't constant so the work isn't directly proportional to the weight being lifted.

It's even worse when the invariant turns out to be equivalent to just some pile of linear algebra applied to some equivariant or twisted version of a Seifert form

Recency bias. It's objectively not the worst set, but because it's a bad set that happened recently, people remember it.

We used a fork of AC at Nebraska and I LOVED it. OpenStax is a good supplement for those students who need a bit more structure in the text (or who need extra practice problems).
