Birthday Party - The Second Coming

As you all know by now, LJ has decided to crash our birthday party - the original post is no longer visible. But some of us still had most of the comments in our inbox and decided to reconstruct the original party as well as we can, because we had great fun and the discussions were wonderful.

However, to avoid the same mishap occurring to us, we've decided to open up a second entry for further comments while working on rebuilding the original. We still have two days left, and we won't allow LJ to crash our party!

The original entry had 1328 comments, on 6 pages. The reconstructed party has now 500+ (all reposted within one day and a few new ones added), having reached Page 7 already.

Let's see what else can we come up with. New guests are welcome to share the fun. :)

The truth is, I like my job, too. Even after 30+ years in this education business. Or I would, if the PTB would let me in peace to do it as I see fit.

I have this to a minor degree as well. There are definitely things I would like to see done differently with how we are teaching and assessing our students, that I think would make them learn more and more efficiently. Some of the problem unfortunately seems to lie in how the bodies that assess our teaching think we should do things, so it might just be something we can't solve on a departmental or even university level.
