#academicsky: It might be a naive question, but I read that "a lot" of profs are using AI to grade. I might lack imagination but, as I can't upload my students' intellectual property (it would be a violation of their rights), how do you do it? I'm genuinely curious, no judgment on my part. Thanks!

#academicsky: Tomorrow is "let's spend the whole day on Zoom meetings" day. I usually bake at the same time that I listen, but I'm pretty sure it's not the best habit (even though it's a delicious one!). Any advice on how not to fall asleep or get bored?

#academicsky: I graded 45 assignments this afternoon (2 groups, 3 different activities) and I'm very happy to state that everybody did a great job! It's always nice to see that the groups understood what's going on in class.

#academicsky: I've been invited to a radio debate about in-person vs. online classes. I happen to like online classes but I also know that they're not for all classes (it depends on the topic) and not for all people. What would be your arguments for one or the other? Thanks!

What do we think #academicsky: are nice clothes still necessary to be heard or are we finally in a time where we can dress however we like? I wore a "power suit" to a meeting this morning, and I hate it, but it seems to be a necessary evil.

#academicsky: I worked the whole weekend to be blessedly free on Wednesday... because my favorite video game is releasing new content. I also warned most of my colleagues not to expect answers that day. #worklifebalance
