Matheny📢 #EdWorkingPapers: Can shorter courses help community college students succeed? @kmatheny.bsky.social and colleagues find that condensed courses boost grades and reduce withdrawals at Tennessee’s community colleges, though effects on persistence are more mixed. 📄 edworkingpapers.com/ai25-1346
- I’m teaching a qualitative methods class, and my next class session is on writing and feedback. I would love to hear what kinds of feedback researchers (of all disciplines) find most useful and from where (eg friends, peer reviewers, folks outside your area) if you’d be willing to share!

- Reposted by Kaylee T. MathenyI cannot tell you how grim the AI in higher ed situation is. Many of the students have completely surrendered to letting AI do their homework, badly, I might add. How do you fix this? Truly, what the hell do we do, beyond what grading can address, which isn't a solution?
- If we continue to insist on using page and word counts for journal issue inclusion, then references should be an online supplement. People should be encouraged to have a robust and thorough reference section, and when people have to choose references, it’s not the big names in the field who get cut.
- If you have population-level data, then how can values for smaller units (eg schools, counties) be “less precise”? Isn’t precision about how close we are to the “truth”? And if you have the truth in hand, why would you statistically penalize smaller units? Asking for myself.
- Reposted by Kaylee T. MathenyWe are seeing multiple instances of reviewers doing manuscript reviews via use of AI/LLM. If you don't want to do a review the old-fashioned way, better to decline the request. Giving someone else's manuscript to AI is a violation of intellectual property rights/laws; the manuscript isn't yours...
- My paper with Amanda Lu is finally out! In “Equal Inputs, Unequal Outputs,” we problematize the tendency to design policies without attention to pre-existing resource inequalities. We also develop a policy-focused typology of organizational capacity. t.co/Y5AB0ksx1K
- We argue for 3 forms of org capacity: foundational capacity, the pre-existing resources needed to implement a policy; execution capacity, the resources needed to address policy-induced burdens; & provision capacity, the resources to bridge the gap between the policy & target pop.
