If you assign books via ProQuest Ebook Central, I recommend re-checking the page numbers. I just found out that they now count front matter pages (foreword, etc.) as part of the overall page count. In my case, the page range I assigned to students was off by 20 pages. 🙃 #HigherEd #AcademicSky

In my academic writing group, we've been talking about the value of having a method: when you need to revise a draft, you sit down and do this thing first. Then you do the next thing, and you keep going down the list of tasks until voilà, you've revised your draft.

Don’t know if y’all are following the WA floods, but this is from yesterday. My house is in the yellow circle. We got this notification while my wife was in recovery from brain surgery and I was trying to get my grading done from the hospital. So, you know. Not a stressful season.
