Here I take a needlessly provocative approach to programme design to make a point about scaffolding assessments throughout undergraduate programmes.

🧵1/7 These are my 6 Leadership Principles During Conflict. Whether you apply these principles to political, business or social and romantic partnerships examples, you will see the truth of the benefits of upholding them, and the danger of ignoring them.

One of the things that made the Roman Republic's alliance system in Italy - upon which was built the lion's share of Rome's victories - so successful was that the Romans handled the system tactfully.
Part of the 'deal' of the system was 'we won't humiliate you.' 1/

This from @it_se is excellent. I spend a lot of time ensuring that the assessments taken by students in my part of @Bruneluni are scaffolded by prior activities but this is difficult when students arrive with such a variety of qualifications. This would solve that problem!

I think you could say the same thing about tech in higher education too. @colinloughlin @FerrousPoultry @PauldyOtermans @neuronerdSB @sdpick

I say this with respect: be wary of clothing companies started and run by people whose first love is not clothing but rather business or technology. IMO, it's fine to incorporate tech (and even AI) into the process. But the person serving you has to love clothing first.

Your regular reminder that student evaluations of teaching are demonstrably garbage

Study (N=200 courses) tested 3 interventions to reduce gender bias in student evals, but none were effective. "Women who were tough graders or taught large classes received more criticism than men with the same grading style or class size." @kimelsesser

The single greatest misunderstanding about science by the public is that scientists solve problems; in reality, scientists are primarily concerned with creating them.
