Thanks! I’ve been doing a version of this assignment since 2014! 😇

And especially ESPECIALLY now when good information is harder to find than ever... I will be keeping this assignment. But I guess I just wish there was some way for this labor to be compensated. And I know all of us in academia do so much labor that goes unaccounted for. Just venting sorry.

I could've been done with grading a week ago if I didn't have this project. If I stopped doing this project, nothing about my compensation would change. And honestly my teaching evals might be better. But I keep doing this project because I am sincerely committed to teaching information literacy.

The deliverable is a <3 minute unlisted youtube video describing an application of an element. Topics range from the chemistry of handwarmers (Iron), MRI contrast agents (Gd or Mn), Rocky Flats (Pu), etc. We do a screening at the end of the quarter where the students share their videos.

It gets very fucking tiring to have to say repeatedly “Your whole world would be better if you weren’t okay with mine being this terrible” And still watching people choose the horror because they like the CONCEPT of you suffering more than their own joy
