I hope it's helpful! I genuinely enjoyed both of these books and it was a lot of fun to put them in conversation with one another.

Truly! Putting together a good lecture—one with substance (but not overwhelm), interactive elements, and a structure that’s easy for students to follow—and delivering it well requires a host of difficult skills.

Flipped classrooms were made up by Big Pedagogy to sell more pedagogy.

Yes!! I think people dislike having to sit quietly and do nothing else, but goddamn if podcasts (not to mention multi-hour video essays on Youtube) don’t debunk the idea that lectures themselves are the problem.

Try not to be a jerk to people around you. Challenge level: IMPOSSIBLE.

Thankfully not a problem academics often encounter.

But then the answer isn’t always “it’s complicated and it depends”, which means the answer is actually pretty complicated and depends on which iteration of answering the question you’re on…

Bonus though, if the answer is always “it’s complicated and it depends”, then the answer to “Is it always complicated and does it always depend?” is just “Yes!”, which is neither complicated nor dependent! 🎉🎉

Worse! They *politely request* endnotes, thereby rendering authors complicit in their own corruption!

“Uses end notes” is a valid reason to reject a paper, yes?

I think maybe the intuition is that undeserved *rewards* are wrong to give. So, undeserved goods are good to give as long as they’re not given as rewards.

This has to be satire right?
“The reality of being a woman is fulfilling the role-based social expectations of womanhood, so definitely trans women aren’t women.”
