Hey @XfinitySupport @xfinity and @comcast - this is the third time in two weeks we’ve had an internet, TV, etc outage that is supposed to last for a full day. Saturday’s lasted from morning til 3:30am the next day. What is going on? Why are there consistent outages?

Hey @XfinitySupport @xfinity and @comcast - what’s with the >12h internet outage in the midst of working hours? & why did the time that it’ll be restored get pushed three hours? Is this going to be an ongoing issue? I want to know so I can plan how I’m going to get my work done!

Having interviewed students at 6 colleges in 3 states on their experiences in college, I agree. There is so much more to be captured through students’ words than their multiple choice responses (although I am a fan of a well-crafted survey for some research questions).
After spending all morning coding 5 hours of focus groups in which students discussed their experiences of online teaching, I'm convinced that all research that wants to say something meaningful about the student experience should be qualitative

Lots to learn about transfer in this fact sheet we put together - worth a quick read!
CCRC fact sheet fact: Students are often surprised to discover that their community college credits are not accepted at their four-year transfer institution. Students lose an estimated 43% of their credits when they transfer. ccrc.tc.columbia.edu/fact-sheets/co… @meikled_john @UmikaKumar

Seeing the very subject I did my masters dissertation on at @LSEsociology talked about by a scholar whose work I respect is really something else! Happy Saturday, people.
Educated, urban professionals under 40 who are really into tarot and astrology have some great sociologists already looking at them but it’s a fascinating group that still need a lot of research.
