Articles have been piling up in my Bloglines feeds as I keep saying “Oh, that’ll make a good blog post…” and then not getting around to actually writing anything. In an effort to clean things up a bit (in much the same way that I clean my desk off every September, whether it needs it or not), I’m just going to throw a bunch of them out here with mininal comments. This post is a collection of links from academic bloggers.<\/p>\n
The Dean Dad<\/a> has absolutely been on fire for the last month. He’s got good posts up on institutional inertia<\/a>, strategic planning<\/a>, measuring outcomes<\/a>, and academic conferences<\/a> (which he likes much less than I do), among other things. Just read the whole blog, already.<\/p>\n Over at Galactic Interactions, Rob Knop has some excellent ideas about introductory astronomy<\/a>. This is a topic I really keep meaning to get to, as it connects with my thoughts on Physics for Poets<\/a>, and also because I’m teaching a new-to-me version of our introductory course this term. Rob also has a class demo I’m going to steal<\/a>.<\/p>\n Finally, Eugene Wallingford has some thoughts on hierarchical majors<\/a>, which include responses to some things I wrote a while back.<\/p>\n There you go. Go read.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Articles have been piling up in my Bloglines feeds as I keep saying “Oh, that’ll make a good blog post…” and then not getting around to actually writing anything.
