oh my yes to this. In a meeting the other day, faculty talking about how they use it to save time/get more done and then trying to figure out an AI policy for the students. They seemed genuinely shocked by the notion that students should be able to play by the same rules.

Many folks have to learn that you can’t reform or fix ICE because it’s not broken. It’s operating exactly as planned, and no amount of change will make it not oppressive/harmful. And ICE has only existed for around 22 years. It is easy to imagine a world without ICE and see that it is unnecessary.

Lots of comments that these goofballs watched too much Blackhawk Down or whatever. How is that I just see Ghostbusters?

Absolutley yes to this. Do I want my students to be employed/employable? Heck yeah. Is it my job to produce corporate drones? Not by a long shot. I want to give my students the skills they need to build a better society.

'learning for its own sake' is literally a mistake in the present world, and thats what fucking sucks there's something very off about complaints about how uncurious or lazy the students are. their incentives are... as perverse as it gets.

They should just offer camping and let you buy tickets for an entire weekend series. That view is gorgeous!

We do the quarter thing as well, and I'm not sure at all how that division of content would work. Just gonna ask (since we just created a gen chem section for majors), did you all give any thought to two quarters gen chem, then organic?

I think somebody does it. But I cannot remember where I heard/read about it.

If its football against U iowa you are still in it. Otherwise….

Current thought. One semester of gen chem. Cover what needs to be covered for organic. Then, two semesters of organic, second semester of gen chem, then analytical and physical.

Went through this stretch where osmotic pressure was in one year, out the next. Then in an year it was in and a bunch of the life sciences students were really into it. Because bio was covering it at the same time. 🤷🏻‍♂️
