Promo graphic from the TV show, Kenny vs Spenny. Kenny and Spenny are staring at each other. Kenny seems a bit mean and determined while Spenny seems a bit clueless

Thx for elaborating. I don't interact with the student side of the College at all, only the Provost - Deans - Chairs - Instructors part of the spectrum. We have some big donors and while their $$$ influences decisions, I haven't encountered anything where their $$$ makes decisions.Thx for elaborating.

Got it, thanks! I will def being using "growth guide" instead of "rubric" when it comes to supporting course instructors. As @lindsaymasland.bsky.social says, "rubric" primes people for evaluation and who wants to be evaluated, right?!? Brilliant way to re-frame it 🏆

I'm absolutely >not< advocating for LMS copshit. Instead, what are your experiences doing the check-in in large classes? And remember, instructors' perceptions of "large" vary greatly! I've worked with instructors who teach 350 and others who teach 24, and both think their classes are too big.I'm absolutely >not< advocating for LMS copshit.

In astronomy, when Galileo first observed the four large moons of Jupiter in 1610, he called them the "Medician stars" after the Medici family. And when William Herschel discovered Uranus in 1781, he named it George's Star (well, Georgium sidus) after King George III. Plus ça change...In astronomy, when Galileo first observed the four large moons of Jupiter in 1610, he called them the "Medician stars" after the Medici family.
