And nobody was surprised--they screwed up and everybody knew it.26 Mar 2025 14:36 +0000at://did:plc:minddcpgith6ziir2rruntlq/app.bsky.feed.post/3llbz3zdhgs26https://bsky.app/profile/jeffclement.bsky.social/post/3lizqvsffns2vThis is such a cool project--I'm thrilled that I got to be a part of it. The big takeaway for me is that we need to do *less* research with *more* people on the team and try to do real code review and parallel analysis of our data.

Just found a paper looking to assess the impact of socioeconomic factors on Covid-19. The paper uses WINDSPEED and AVERAGE RAINFALL 3 and 4 weeks ago to instrument for the NUMBER OF DOCTORS.

But I'm getting tons of pushback now on grades being based on a large number of little, more formative exercises (from students who just won't do them). Can't win.17 Oct 2024 14:58 +0000at://did:plc:minddcpgith6ziir2rruntlq/app.bsky.feed.post/3l6ppq574e62zhttps://bsky.app/profile/jeffclement.bsky.social/post/3l55kn4huco2yChicago, you’re perfect.27 Sep 2024 16:14 +0000at://did:plc:minddcpgith6ziir2rruntlq/app.bsky.feed.post/3l55kn4huco2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/jeffclement.bsky.social/post/3l4jzgz7e3i2xThe amount of time I spent coming up with a fake company and scenario for my midterm was totally appropriate, yes a very good and reasonable use of time.
