If I can, for a moment, speak seriously to profs who panic about students "getting away with" stuff. Let go of the need to control. You can't, and your efforts to try INHIBIT learning. You were never taught how to teach & the norm has been to copy how you were taught but... https://twitter.com/historianess/status/1304737591426715648
The ppl teaching you were even worse! The fact that you made it despite that makes you an outlier, but your job now is to serve all the students. As for having been burned before by wily students: I feel you, but a classroom guided by the need for control breeds that & only that.
I know you don't have time to reinvent everything, you're overburned. Believe me, I KNOW. Here's the secret: letting go and rethinking everything will LESSEN those burdens. Maybe even bring a little joy. Sometimes a lot.
But god, where to start, in these pandemic times? @jessifer @cjdenial @TheTattooedProf @joshua_r_eyler are the BEST & they generously share free online content in addition to writing the best books on teaching in HE (see the @WVUPRESS series)
