Let's take a closer look at recent sessional data at the #UofR.

The data, from @UofRFA, in the next few tweets are for calendar year 2018 & refer only to sessional *lecturers*, not sessional practicum coaches, supervisors, or ESL sessionals. 1/n

The chart from @UofRegina lacks numbers or the total number of sessional lecturer contracts so it is hard to gauge how many people/contracts we are discussing. 2/n

I find the argument

"if we're to teach students stats, data management, computing, programming, etc what else should we drop?"

so frustrating. #ESA2018 1/n If you only look at it from the point of adding new lecture courses on all these things then of course we run out of time/hours 2/n
