I heard today that some academics deliver lectures to 500 people *in person*

Blows my mind, when I was an undergrad 40 was the biggest lecture cohort and I thought that was big 🤯

Today was an exciting day. I started as an Associate Lecturer at Worcester University teaching a module for their BA Drama and MA Touring Theatre students.

First time I am teaching a full module so it’s a nice step up following the guest lecturing and supervision work I‘ve been doing.

Plus it means I can see my boyfriend more as he lives in Worcester. Hurrah!

Glad to have come to the end of another teaching term at Exeter. Over 60 lectures given on the Fundamentals of Weather and Climate, the Fluid Dynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans, and Numerical Modelling. It is always a privilege to introduce students to new material, and I’ve been excited by their engagement. Some of them even enjoyed my bad jokes…!

We aren't quite there yet, but this is still better than some answers we get to our university exam questions... (Example of mock exam essay my MA student took this week). While we do still really need to teach good writing, assessing students with other medium using creative methods is one way to escape (delay?) the quick-fix of automation. I get them to make podcasts, comics, films, for instance. But then you will tell me there is AI art, so hey... 😂 😋

Normally politics just rolls over me. My daddy taught me to vote for the one that might at least use lube, and I have stuck to that. However as a gentleman of the rural south I have to speak out… I am sick and tired of .

My feed is full of telling me that the apocalypse is nigh if us bumpkins don’t vote exactly like the tell them to… Y’all, go away. You don’t live here. You ain’t from here.

Any academics regularly teaching noticing a reduction in student attendance and/or engagement this academic year or last?

Good point by @siliconshecky in regards to read teaming and Pentests.
Brief question to the Mastodon bubble. For next year I want to give my students a few example reports and let them work on them as a case study.

Does anyone know whether there are publicly available, good / bad, Pentest / RedTeam reports?

Boosts for reach are appreciated! 👍

Fun with slides. This week we're discussing and subcultural scenes in by using texts from chaoyang.substack.com/ to explore different , , , , and . I appreciate when books have malleable and distinctive covers to play with -journal articles need better art (see again, Chaoyang Trap).

In my lecture today, I tried VHS tapes for my example of something my students would not have any idea how to use. It was a success 👵 Not a single one knew what this even was. I didn’t even try to explain rewinding.
