An Argument "Against Cop Shit":

https://jeffreymoro.com/blog/2020-02-13-against-cop-shit/?fbclid=IwAR3hzoPfI8GDZ2Yt9n-VDiNgaG_C4963mLS3dIOsi-LKmvkrgkNxzLs54ug
"Cop shit is seductive. It makes metrics transparent. It allows for the clear progress toward learning objectives. (“Badges” are cop shit, by the way.) It also subsumes education within a market logic."
"If a classroom is so large that it requires cop shit in order to effectively run, then the answer is not actually to use cop shit. The answer is hiring more instructors. There are enough to go around."
"Cop shit also flies in the face of, indeed disallows, developing real solidarity between students and teachers. This solidarity is particularly important when those teachers are themselves (graduate) students."
