Thoughts on Pres Obama and Immigration - The Economists Thoughts. Thoughts on Pres Obama and Immigration. Nov 24th, 2014 02:10 pm. A handful of thoughts about Pres. Obama and Immigration:. I am in favor of basically open immigration. The economic impacts are generally positive (not that no one is harmed - but the benefit outweighs the cost in terms of impacts on overall well-being). As such, I like seeing moves in that direction. But, then I started thinking along broader lines:. One argument that Ive se...

Total Points vs. Weighted Grades – Growing Learners
https://digitalhumanitiesyes.wordpress.com/2012/03/29/total-points-vs-weighted-grades
Personalized learning, instructional technology and course design in higher ed. Total Points vs. Weighted Grades. After a lengthy discussion with my husband last night in which he advocated for total points. As the ideal higher education grading system while I posited that weighted categories. I can add in another assignment, making the course total 475 points now instead of 450, and this is probably fine, but what if my syllabus stated that discussion was to be X% of the total grade (as many do)? Now th...

Nov 5th, 2014 03:19 pm. So, yesterday, another election came and went here in the US. I honestly have very few thoughts about the outcome of the election at the moment. Im much more interested in voting itself. So, here are a variety of voting-related topics. 1) On Rights to Complain. 2) On I dont care how you vote, just vote. 3) On your vote makes a difference. 4) On spoiler candidates and different voting systems. Very long, didnt want to read?

My wife and I decided that a fun leisure time activity would be for us to watch the Prequels looking for evidence of Jar Jars scheming. Here are the results from our viewing of Phantom Menace:. He just ...

My State of the Union Response 2015. Jan 21st, 2015 01:53 pm. State of the union. So, rather than going line-by-line as I occasionally do, Im just going to hit some of the high points (or, perhaps, low points) - just things that stood out to me. Which mean Im going to be ignoring probably over 90% of the speech. First, I will mention that I didnt actually watch the speech - Im working off a transcript. But I trust NPR to faithfully report Pres Obamas words. State of the Union Response - Part II.
