What happens when a university responds to concerns about grades not by limiting A's, but by making first-semester grades largely disappear? In this episode, Sharona and Boz examine the University of Michigan College of Literature, Science, and the Arts' new First Semester Grade Covering Pilot Program, which will replace visible letter grades for first-semester students with pass/no-pass marks beginning in fall 2027. The policy is intended to ease students' transition to college, reduce academic pressure, and create more freedom to explore courses without worrying about the impact on their GPA. With similar policies having existed for decades at institutions such as MIT, the new program provides an opportunity to consider what happens when an institution changes the stakes attached to grades without necessarily changing the grading practices happening inside individual courses and what that distinction might mean for students, instructors, and learning.LinksUniversity of Michigan Grade Covering PolicyU of Michigan Attempts to Disrupt the Transactional System, by John WarnerThe Real Mission of Higher Education is Hiding in Plan Sight, by John WarnerAddressing the Transactional Model of School, by John WarnerHarvard Doesn't Care About Students, by John WarnerJosh Eyler on LinkedIn Re: U of Michigan Grade Covering PolicyResourcesThe Center for Grading Reform - seeking to advance education in the United States by supporting effective grading reform at all levels through conferences, educational workshops, professional development, research and scholarship, influencing public policy, and community building.The Grading Conference - an annual, online conference exploring Alternative Grading in Higher Education & K-12.Some great resources to educate yourself about Alternative Grading:The Grading for Growth BlogThe Grading ConferenceThe Intentional Academia BlogRecommended Books on Alternative Grading:Grading for Growth, by Robert Talbert and David ClarkSpecifications Grading, by Linda NilsenUndoing the Grade, by Jesse StommelFollow us on Bluesky, Facebook and Instagram - @thegradingpod.

Du var ledig i somras. Men du är inte utvilad.Det betyder inte att du är dålig på att vila. För många blev sommaren aldrig den återhämtning den skulle bli – det var körigt hemma, mycket måsten och lite andrum. Och även om du var borta från jobbet fick nervsystemet aldrig riktigt gå ner i varv.Det går inte att ändra i efterhand. Och det finns en vila i det också: det blev som det blev. Frågan är bara hur du gör nu.I det här avsnittet går jag igenom de två sakerna som avgör hur hösten blir – belastningen och återhämtningen – och den basplattform som allt annat vilar på.Du får med dig:Varför ledighet inte är samma sak som återhämtningHur du ser över belastningen: vad måste egentligen stå på spisen, och vad är någon annans?Övertid, ikappjobb och ansvar som smugit sig på – hur du hittar demVarför helgerna måste vara lugna och oplanerade när vardagen är tungSömn, mat och rörelse: grunden utan vilken inga andra insatser biterHur du planerar hösten nu istället för att vänta på att den ska braka lossDet här är inte en period där du kan köra på max. Och det är helt okej.Jag heter numera Björn Nordberg – jag berättar kort om namnbytet i början av avsnittet.Vill du läsa mer om stress, utmattning och återhämtning finns allt samlat på bjornnordberg.se Hosted on Acast.

This episode of #SundayCivics, L. Joy preps us with the syllabus for the next semester on The Office of the Citizen. In this political moment when the floor is shifting beneath our feet, we shouldn't react in panic but with clarity. Clarity about who we are and what democracy actually asks of us as citizens, because the highest office in a democracy is The Office of the Citizen. Over the next weeks, we will learn to break down systems together so we can rewrite the rules and reclaim the office as ours.

Ausgerechnet ein Biber sorgt in der Biobadi Biberstein für Ärger in der Badesaison. Weil das geschützte Nagetier am Donnerstagmorgen die Badi nicht verliess, blieb diese geschlossen. Der Biber hat die Badi am Donnerstag wieder verlassen, sonst hätte am Freitag der Biberbeauftragte eingreifen müssen. Weiter in der Sendung: · Die Regiobank Solothurn AG schliesst das erste Semester 2026 erneut mit einem guten Ergebnis ab. Der Halbjahresgewinn beträgt CHF 5,01 Mio. und liegt damit nahezu auf Vorjahresniveau. · Eine stark betrunkene Autofahrerin fuhr am Donnerstag bei Wohlenschwil gegen ein Polizeiauto und beschädigte dieses stark. Verletzt wurde niemand. · Sicherheit am Bahnhof Aarau soll mit verschiedenen Massnahmen verbessert werden.

Meta Griepenkerl macht seit zweieinhalb Jahren Content – und ist damit erfolgreich. Kooperationen, Reichweite, Einnahmen. Was von außen nach schnellem Glück aussieht, steckt voller Arbeit, Fehlversuche und einem sehr genauen Verständnis davon, wie die Branche funktioniert. Das hat sie sich früh erarbeitet: Noch vor ihrer Schauspielausbildung hat sie als Castingassistentin gearbeitet und dabei gelernt, was Caster wirklich sehen wollen – und was Schauspieler:innen meistens nicht wissen. Ab diesem Semester bringt sie genau dieses Wissen zu TAK: Sie unterrichtet unsere Studierenden darin, wie Social Media als Schauspieler:in strategisch und authentisch funktioniert. Themen dieser Folge: Wie Meta angefangen hat: ein halbes Jahr täglich posten, zweihundert Aufrufe, nichts funktioniert Warum Reichweite oft mehr Schein als Sein ist – und was das für Schauspieler:innen bedeutet Wie sie gemeinsam mit Filiz die Nische gefunden hat: POVs, Parodien, und plötzlich funktionierte es Was ein Jahr als Castingassistentin bringt – und warum Robert das als Pflichtpraktikum in die Ausbildung einbauen will Warum Robert damals beim ersten Versuch mit Social Media in der Schule auf die Schnauze gefallen ist Social Media als Werkzeug: wann es Sinn macht, wann nicht, und wann man es wieder ablegen darf Interesse am Thema SocialMedia ToolKit auch außerhalb der TAK-Ausbildung?

Today's brief looks ahead to three future-planning cruise stories. Semester at Sea opened applications for its 104-day 2027 voyage aboard the World Odyssey, sailing September 9, 2027 from Ijmuiden, Netherlands and ending in Thailand in late December, with calls in Portugal, Morocco, Brazil, St. Helena, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Vietnam and Hong Kong. Uniworld Boutique River Cruises added a complimentary pre- or post-cruise hotel stay to select 2027 Europe river itineraries on the Danube and Douro, bookable through August 31, 2026. And Ponant Explorations opened bookings for more than 150 Europe cruises running October 2027 through November 2028 across the Mediterranean, the Atlantic Islands and Northern Europe.

In dieser abschließenden Sitzung der Vorlesung „Grammatik in der Schule“ fasse ich die über das Semester entwickelten Kernbereiche noch einmal zusammen. Der Fokus lag, ausgehend vom homo narrans, auf der Verknüpfung von Grammatikvermittlung mit Erzählungen, wobei traditionelle Ansätze kritisch beleuchtet und moderne gebrauchsbasierte sowie konstruktionsdidaktische Alternativen diskutiert werden. Auf der Basis der Analyse von umgangssprachlichen Phänomenen, Modalkonstruktionen (als Konstruktionen der Faktizitätsmarkierung), Geltungsmodifikatoren (Temporal- und Lokaladverbialia) und der Verknüpfung mentaler Räume wird ein alternativer Weg für den Unterricht aufgezeigt: die Umkehrung der Vermittlungshierarchie mit einer Oerientierung auf quantitativ häufige sprachliche Strukturen. Zum Abschluss werden alle relevanten organisatorischen Informationen zum Ablauf, den zugelassenen Hilfsmitteln und der Abgabe der anstehenden digitalen Klausur erläutert.Präsentation (*.pdf): Alexander Lasch. 2026.

Gemeinsam mit dem Wirtschaftsexperten Andreas Dohmen denke ich in dieser Folge über Wirtschaftsethik nach. Im Teamteaching haben wir dieses Semester eine Vorlesungsreihe zur Wirtschaftsethik für das Münchner Bildungswerk gestaltet. Wir nutzen diese Podcastfolge, um auf zentrale Aspekte der Reihe zurückzublicken und auf positive Veränderungen und Änderungsmöglichkeiten der Wirtschaft aufmerksam zu machen - die wir als Staat, Unternehmen und Konsumierende haben. Viel Freude beim Mit- und Nachdenken und falls euch die Folge gefällt, teilt sie gerne und lasst uns eine Bewertung da... Vielen Dank dafür!

In dieser Folge blicke ich zurück auf das noch laufende Semester und greife ein paar Highlights auf. Am Ende gibt es einen kurzen Ausblick auf die nächste Staffel ab September.

Emil har gjort en hemsk upptäckt i sitt semesterboende, och Joel behöver än en gång hjälp för att gå bakom ryggen på sin fru.

Why is it so hard to find help as an international student in Australia? When services exist but feel impossible to access, when information is scattered across a dozen websites, and when you're not even sure what "good therapy" looks like... where do you even start?In this episode of the Asian Mental Health Podcast, Marcus sits down with Vinca Metta Julicia and Sania Jatin Prabhu, two international students and Student Changemakers participants, for an honest conversation about what it's really like trying to navigate mental health services in Melbourne.Vinca, from Indonesia, has studied architecture in Taiwan and urban design in Melbourne. Sania, originally from India with time in South Africa, is pursuing her Master of AI at Monash. Together, they break down the barriers international students face: the one-month wait times for uni counseling, the confusion about costs and confidentiality, the fear that seeking help might affect your visa, and the overwhelming reality that no single place exists to guide you through it all.But this episode isn't just about what's broken. It's also about what helps: ClassPass and bouldering for moving your body, BumbleBFF for finding community, The Couch for free meals and connection, and the small acts of resilience that keep students going when the system fails them.

Have you ever wondered whether your scattered systems, duplicate scissors, or frozen to-do list are actually character flaws, or clues to how your brain works? In this second conversation about ADHD in the homeschooling parent, we look at the inattentive traits that can hide behind daydreaming, over-planning, lost objects, and task paralysis. We talk about accommodations, body doubling, medication, the ADHD tax, and why evaluations can miss neurodivergent homeschooled kids whose lives are already beautifully adapted to their needs. Most of all, we name the relief that comes when shame gives way to information.

Hur är det på semestern e g e n t l i g e n när det kommer till relationer? Antingen är det fantastiskt eller så är det katastrof, oavsett så kan tydligen båda situationerna leda till skillsmässa, i alla fall om vi lutar oss mot statistiken. Det här med egentid på semestern, hur fungerar det och vad har vi för tips och trix för att relationer ska hålla under och efter semestern? Kan Jessica och Marcus ens planera sin semester och hur kommer det sig att Malin och Calle alltid har det som bäst på just semestern. Sen var det det där med att Malins låtsaskompisar borde skilja sig. Lyssna det blir kul. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Joel har varit med om ett hemskt, hemskt missöde på det som skulle vara en ljuvlig Spanien-semester på Aqua Land, och Victor trilskas med dilemmat om det är värt att offra livet på sig själv och alla i hans omgivning, för att få köra lite bil.

Over the years I've seen students struggle and students thrive, and what becomes clear pretty quickly is the students who struggle tend to repeat the same handful of mistakes. And the sneaky part? Most of them won't feel like mistakes when you're making them. It's not that you're not smart enough, or not working hard enough, or not meant for this. Nursing school rewards a specific kind of engagement with material and most students were never shown what that looks like. I'm covering six of the most common first semester mistakes I see, and of course, what to do differently. You definitely don't want to miss this one if you're heading into nursing school. Nursing school gets easier when you have a system, which is exactly what I created the ⁠Nursing School Survival Blueprint⁠⁠ for. This free Blueprint walks you through the key shifts that separate struggling students from thriving ones.

Graduate education in nursing presents challenges and opportunities for growth. Dr. Gray shares her qualitative study on the experiences of nurses during their first semester of graduate school. Reflections of 23 students were analyzed by nursing faculty using qualitative descriptive methods. Five main concepts were identified by students: academic performance, challenges, emotions, linking coursework to future role, and support.

Die Blackout-Initiative fordert, dass Atomkraft auch in Zukunft Teil der Schweizer Stromversorgung ist. Das Thema bewegt: Gut 100 Rednerinnen und Redner haben sich an der Session zu Wort gemeldet. Was schwebt den Befürwortern vor? Weitere Themen: Im Stadtspital Zürich führen Pflegestudierende selbst während eines Semesters eine ganze Bettenstation. Damit versucht man den Pflegenotstand zu entschärfen. So erhalten die Studierenden unter fachlicher Begleitung Einblick in den harten Klinikalltag. Die US-Regierung hatte angekündigt, mindestens 5000 der rund 35000 Soldatinnen und Soldaten aus Deutschland abzuziehen. Doch die US-Stützpunkte bleiben strategisch von zentraler Bedeutung. So etwa die Air Base in Ramstein, der grösste Stützpunkt der Vereinigten Staaten in Europa.

New figures have indicated that Victorian students are missing more than seven million days of classes each year in part due to parents taking them on holiday. In this edition of The Conversation we look at just how prevalent this is becoming and why some parents opt to travel during the semester.Also in this edition, will we see the rise of progressive populism in Australia?Plus why Melbourne loves to wear black.

In this episode of ADK Talks, we talk with Jacob McCullough and Nicole Panek about St. Lawrence University's Adirondack Semester, an immersive fall program where students live off-grid in a yurt village on Massawepie Lake.They share what daily life looks like without phones or laptops, how students learn through outdoor leadership and place-based study, and why the experience leaves such a lasting impact. From shared meals and handwritten coursework to loons, lake water, and deep community, this is a fascinating look at a one-of-a-kind semester in the Adirondacks.Jacob and Nicole also explain how students balance rigorous academics with the practical realities of living in the woods, from cooking and hauling water to learning how to communicate, solve problems, and live closely with others. They talk about the kinds of students the program attracts, the personal growth that often happens over the course of the semester, and why the Adirondacks offer such a rich setting for this kind of education.What you'll hear in this episodeLiving in a yurt village for a full semesterStarting with a seven-day canoe tripLearning without phones or computersBuilding community through shared daily lifeWhy the Adirondacks make such a powerful classroomHow the experience changes students long after they leaveResources:St. Lawrence University Adirondack SemesterAdirondack Semester Weekly UpdatesDonnelly's Soft Ice CreamMt.

In 2001, Kathleen (Keen) Harrison, PhD, took a leave from her university faculty position in medical genetics to travel with the Semester at Sea program. A visit to Kenya's first orphanage for HIV-positive children changed the course of her life. She returned home feeling, “I just can't walk away from this.” She didn't.In 2005, Keen founded Project Harambee, a volunteer-run nonprofit supporting community-led initiatives across three pillars: health care, economic opportunity, and education. Its programs are both practical and powerful: Plant a Seed–Grow a Doc helps students from high schools in under-resourced communities to attend medical school and return to serve rural communities. Livestock donations—dairy goats, chickens, and pigs—help families reduce hunger and generate income.Women's cooperatives create crafts sold in the United States, building sustainable livelihoods.Today, Keen remains deeply committed while gradually transitioning leadership to nonprofit partners in Kenya and dedicated U.S. volunteers. Sustained by a wide circle of generosity, Project Harambee continues to grow—transforming lives across communities and generations."I left a profession in medical genetics and found a vocation supporting women and families in Kenya." - Kathleen HarrisonConnect with Keen:Email: keen.harrison.mcnulty@gmail.comWebsite: www.projectharambee.orgFacebook: harambee.nfpAfrica photo bookACKNOWLEDGEMENTSOUR SPONSOR AARP Illinois is dedicated to empowering adults 50 and older to choose how they live as they age.

In this solo episode, Lisa reflects on the complex relationship between identity, body image, and authenticity as she reads her essay about developing humor and personality as a survival strategy. Lisa explores how weight loss, shifting social responses, and global awakening experiences sparked an identity crisis that expanded into a deeper understanding of privilege, oppression, and the social context that shapes how bodies are perceived. Lisa examines the intoxicating pull of external validation, the grief of benefiting from appearance, and the lifelong practice of returning to embodied safety and self‑connection.Topics Include:Persona vs. Authentic SelfPrivilege and OppressionExternal ValidationSelf Connection[6:29] Lisa shares her Common App essay which focuses on her weight and personality. She describes her weight as her only flaw and the source of disrespect and impatience with herself. To compensate for not physically fitting in, Lisa cultivated a personality, using humor as her confidence. She reflects that her struggles with weight forced her to develop her inner self. Lisa recalls reading the essay years ago and viewing it through the lens of codependency and people-pleasing, a kind of persona created from a feeling of being unsafe. She used humor as a performance because she felt she couldn't be her authentic self due to her body. She concludes the essay with her valuing the person she became.[15:37] Lisa describes her time on Semester at Sea as the first time she entered a new social environment as a "thin person” and she wasn't receiving the same constant praise she previously had on campus for losing weight. She describes this confusing experience where her role in society felt like it was changing, but she couldn't articulate what was happening.[20:26] Lisa now understands this confusion was due to the world responding to her differently and her responding to the world differently. Lisa explains how her eyes were opening to the social context in general, leading to a crisis about how the world works. Her inability to process this existential crisis manifested physically as the origin of her IBS symptoms. [25:43] Lisa describes this period in her life where she became acutely aware of societal issues like racism, sexism, and poverty for the first time. She emphasized how her perception of the world had changed. Sociology 101 introduced her to the concepts of privilege and oppression. She noted that while the class discussed race, gender, and sexual orientation, the lens of body size was her own connection, allowing her to put the dots together.[43:51] Lisa shared a memory of walking down the street and being ignored by a man passing by and she began reflecting on when she began defining herself by how others saw her. She explained that the goal is not to swing the pendulum from being negatively judged to being positively judged but to be seen for who you truly are.[52:13] Lisa explains that to feel safe in one's body as it is, one must be connected to that body and spiritual being. Lisa issued an invitation for listeners to self-reflect on how much mental "real estate" the preoccupation with others' thoughts takes up in their daily lives.[59:46] She wraps up the episode with an invitation to let the current discussion "settle and marinate" and consider their own position as a person with an "animal brain in a social context," living within constructs of privilege and oppression.*The views of podcast guests do not necessarily reflect the views and beliefs of Lisa Schlosberg or Out of the Cave, LLC.Embody Peace With Food: A Revolutionary Holistic Approach - Omega Institute: July 12-17, 2026LISA IS NOW ACCEPTING: One-on-One Clients!⁠Purchase the OOTC book of 50 Journal Prompts⁠⁠Leave Questions and Feedback for Lisa via OOTC Pod Feedback Form ⁠Email Lisa: ⁠lisa@lisaschlosberg.com⁠⁠Out of the Cave Merch⁠ - For 10% off use code SCHLOS10Lisa's Socials: Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠

In this solo episode, Lisa takes a deeper, more personal look at the internalized male gaze, embodied safety, and what intentional weight loss can mean through a trauma‑informed lens. She starts with a gentle check‑in about having too much coffee and uses that moment to explore the feelings she pushed aside and how choosing connection helped her regulate instead of leaning on old coping habits. From there, she talks about how denial, dissociation, and building her self‑worth outside of appearance shaped the way she handled body‑based judgments, while also being honest about the real social changes she noticed after losing weight. She reads from a 2014 essay that traces her shift from denial to hyper‑awareness, the cultural experiences that challenged Western beauty standards, and the toll perfectionism took on her. To wrap up, Lisa introduces the ideas of egosyntonic and egodystonic thoughts to help listeners understand those inner conflicts around body‑focused thinking, highlighting awareness, space, and embodied safety as key parts of healing.Topics Include:Internalized Male GazeEmbodied SafetySocial DynamicsEgosyntonic vs. Egodystonic Thoughts[0:32] Lisa begins by noticing she crossed her personal limit on coffee, practicing non-judgmental, compassionate curiosity about the behavior. She connects over-caffeination to an anxiety-provoking event she suppressed due to context, illustrating how coping can mask root emotions. She identifies her need for connection and support rather than substances and texts her best friend to schedule a call to process the event together.[10:50] Lisa introduces the concept "trauma work is slow," explaining that healing from chronic societal trauma is a gradual process unlike a diet. She clarifies her stance on others' judgment of her body, explaining that she built her self-worth on character, not appearance, as a defense mechanism when she was in a larger body. She acknowledges that losing weight made it safer to engage with social constructs.[37:35] Lisa reads an essay she wrote in 2014 during Semester at Sea, a period that served as intense exposure therapy for her eating disorder following her significant weight loss and tummy tuck. The essay details her 150-pound weight loss journey, which was initially prompted by physical pain and practical difficulties.[1:07:50] Post-weight loss, Lisa realized her happiness stemmed from societal validation, not self-acceptance, leading to an obsessive cycle of never feeling good enough. After reading the essay, Lisa explains the weight loss journey woke her up from a state of being disconnected from her body, a profound psychological shift that is the origin of Out of the Cave.[1:11:56] Lisa introduces the psychological concepts of egosyntonic (behaviors in harmony with one's self-image) and egodystonic (behaviors conflicting with one's self-concept). She explains that her own compulsive thoughts about bodies post-weight loss felt intensely egodystonic, which was a positive factor in her healing as it allowed her to separate herself from those thoughts. [1:20:22] Lisa wraps this episode by encouraging listeners to examine if their body image thoughts are egosyntonic or egodystonic, noting that recognizing these thoughts as conditioned can create distance and aid healing. She notes this is the second episode on the topic and a third will follow to bring all the concepts together.*The views of podcast guests do not necessarily reflect the views and beliefs of Lisa Schlosberg or Out of the Cave, LLC.Embody Peace With Food: A Revolutionary Holistic Approach - Omega Institute: July 12-17, 2026LISA IS NOW ACCEPTING: One-on-One Clients!⁠Purchase the OOTC book of 50 Journal Prompts⁠⁠Leave Questions and Feedback for Lisa via OOTC Pod Feedback Form ⁠Email Lisa: ⁠lisa@lisaschlosberg.com⁠⁠Out of the Cave Merch⁠ - For 10% off use code SCHLOS10Lisa's Socials: Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠
