  Well, not always. Mine apparently doesn’t have any vanilla extract right now. I can only assume that it’s tariff related

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon studies Organic Chemistry⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I had this one teacher in university (not yet a PhD but was working on it) that I ended up taking like 4 different classes from in university. Although he was brilliant and experienced having worked in the industry for 30 years or so, and was naturally a very good teacher and very passionate about what he taught, it’s a simple fact was he was new, but he was very humble and transparent about that. The first course I took from him was only his second time teaching that course (or any course), and the other three were each his first. All these courses he built the curriculum himself. Again, he’s an excellent teacher, one of the best I ever had, but he was still working out the kinks in his tests. He was being very transparent with us students about his process of choosing to award partial or full credit for questions and problems he decided weren’t fair, or were worded ambiguously, always taking feedback during class after getting our graded tests back.

  I had a few other courses like that too, and I feel like that system (decreasing the weight of problems that aren’t fair to students) is generally a better system than simply grading on a curve. The former is more granular, differentiating poor grades due to lack of study from poor grades to a faulty test. It also provides a clear direction for improving the curriculum next semester. Grading on a curve often feels like a copout to avoid the labor involved in improving the curriculum. BUT on the other hand, if the class really went so poorly that nobody understood the material or if the test was almost totally unfair, then imo grading on a curve could be the fairest solution for the students. There’s no perfect solution there, the students time is already wasted, better to give them the benefit of the doubt in that case.

  Same. It feels good after new years for some reason (maybe because that’s when the days are getting noticeably longer again?), but I hate this time of year, even since I was a kid

  I mean, we can’t know everything, but in the last couple of decades we’ve learned how to derive quite a bit about an animal from a fossil. Things like where muscles attach let us figure out the muscle structure, the size and structure of bones yields hints to what and where an organism’s weight was, and from the little nubs on the bones we can tell where feathers are. And all of that can come together and form a decent picture of what that animal’s behavior was. That’s just the stuff I’m aware of as a casual, I’m sure there’s tons more clues in fossils that I’m not aware of.
