One great way to help Ss manage procrastination is through transparent assignment design. If you're interesting in joining a working group of faculty using the TILT model for transparent assignment design, contact ctl@uvm.edu.

Questioning the bundling of #STEM. "Technology" is so vague as to encompass space mirrors as well as GIFs.

Science and mathematics somehow got yoked to the vocational field of engineering and, worst of all, to "technology," which can mean almost anything—and nothing.
