Grading is sooo emotionally draining!
This student probably meant “democracy,” but it looks like “Democrazy”.. #CreativeMistakes

Uh-oh! The memo has landed: “GUIDELINES FOR INSTRUCTORS USING SOCIAL NETWORKS IN TEACHING.” Can’t we talk about this?
Running header: Writing is easy when you let yourself do it.
Ah-ha! “Nice talking with you.” Makes a huge difference.

What happened to Judith Woodsworth? #Concordia @vark @answers @ConcordiaNews
Pour niaiser Patrick Masbourian à #RadCan, @PhDesrosiers utilise de drôles de stéréotypes sur les Arméniens. Harissa??
Can’t you imagine a debate between Gladwell, Pinker, Taleb, and Levitin? Shouldn’t McGill organize it?
As a non-perfectionist, an issue I find with perfectionism is in taking a new direction. Sometimes, détours are quicker.
