        @avantgame actually..do you have anything for World War I? I've gotta finish a paper & I hear the best way to research is to ask you for it.

        @avantgame One of the reasons why I'm rethinking classroom teaching. Challenging to teach critical thinking. Maybe these kids didn't play 😓

        @jackinessity You're right about today's system. Sad. I'm still a part time prof but working more in instructional design.

        @sharkyire I was a composition & rhetoric teacher right out of grad school. Teachers are courageous people.

        @avantgame That's all there is to it? You just hand off all research to someone far more qualified? That's much easier than I thought! ;-)

        @avantgame That sounds really rude. Grad students should know how to get resources on their own.

        @avantgame Just the lazy ones. My peers and I would scour the library and online databases fueled by coffee, dreading the eventual pay wall.

        @avantgame that is ridiculous. Unless you're being hired as a researcher, but then you should get the degree.

        @avantgame information propagation does make search harder relevant to the speed of information creation. Demands more expertise in-the-loop
