These days, reading drafts and commenting on them is time- and energy-consuming for me. There's burnout and loss of ability to focus at play. Also too much time sitting with screens looking at texts. So, I have to start from the premise that it costs me something to agree. 2/
My sense of equity in teaching dictates that if I agree to do it for one student, I have to present it as an offer for the other students as well. Not everyone thinks that way, others reward the initiative displayed by the students who request it. That's not my way, I guess. 3/
“Can we please have one area of intelligence where there is no thinking?”

And I do miss that. I miss seeing whether they're with me, or preoccupied with something else (e.g., a big assignment in another course, their snack time, or that time of the year when a class coincides with the opening of their registration window for summer courses), . . . 2/
. . . or overwhelmed by the complexity of what I'm asking them to do, or in need of a nudge to actually dig in their bag to find a pen or open the right window to work in the app we're using or move seats so they can in fact see or hear what their teammates are doing. 3/

Even as you build your knowledge *against* some other knowledge that you think is dead wrong, you need to build it *with* knowledge that's already around, and you need to choose that knowledge with care and scrutiny as to its quality. 2/
Part of the process is that you tell your readers & listeners what that knowledge is. Who are the sources? What are the concepts? How do you relate them together? How do see them apply to your evidence? What questions do you pick up from where, which do you leave aside? 3/
