" Stay In Your Lane ," Cathy McCray, 2019. Today's principle is grades are less important than community . In the previous post, Via Ana Cristina Pratas

"The ability of a university to foster community is directly related to its larger function in society and the history of that function. As with my previous post about the stakes of communication being far broader than sending course announcements, it should be no surprise that the stakes of community far exceed engendering community in my particular courses via different kinds of activities, assignments, or tools, even as those constitute a real site for community to develop. In " The End of the University ," Astra Taylor wonders not just if "the university as it currently exists will survive the pandemic," but rather, given that universities' histories are as much about exclusion as they are about liberatory impulses,"whether we want it to." Taylor's holder "end" reflects a concern for apocalyptic collapses of public funding, but it also registers a sense of place and purpose.
She says, In order to forge another path, we must engage in a deeper form of accounting. Beyond finding a way to balance university budgets in the midst of global depression, the challenge is to acknowledge and repair past mistakes and ongoing inequities, thus making our higher education system, for the first time in our troubled history, truly public."

Regularly reviewing your course material is key to effective studying. Breaking your study time in to smaller (1-3 hour) blocks of the course of 5 days is much more effective than cramming all those hours into one session.

From the conformity of your home teachers and students are able to attend class, there is no rushing to class, or walking in 100+ degree weather. I remember always driving to campus rushing while not all i have to do is open my computer, set up the camera and i am ready for class. I enjoy attending to school more like this, and whenever i need help i can just go to campus to get help with a tutor, which is super convenient.

That is so crazy! I wish we could get to that point in the US, but it feels so unlikely that we will anytime soon. It will be interesting to see what happens as time goes on and if Denmark's cases start to go back up.

At some point, we'll all be back teaching in person. Only now it will be behind a mask. At first glance, this seems more than just a nuisance, but impossible to do effectively. After all, students need to see your mouth and facial expressions to fully grasp your meaning.
