BREAKING NEWS: screenshots from your phone not an appropriate format for submitting work in college classes.

json-derulo

my partner was a TA for an intro-to-subject course in grad school. finals week rolls around and the students are required to submit this big module assignment they've had like a month to do for a decent chunk of their grade. if you've submitted everything, you'll see a summary screen with a star beside each module name showing it's been completed.

an hour before the assignment deadline, he receives an email from a student claiming they completed the assignment, but the system is not allowing them to submit. there's an image attached to the email. partner goes to open what he assumes is a screenshot of that summary page.

instead, he sees that the student has taken a photo of their laptop from about 2 feet away, with that page open. strange, but it wouldn't be the first time a college freshman has lacked the tech literacy to take a screenshot. he almost doesn't look twice at it, but he realizes something about it just feels a little bit...off. so he zooms in.

the student had CUT STARS OUT OF CONSTRUCTION PAPER and TAPED THEM TO THEIR LAPTOP SCREEN BESIDE EACH MODULE NAME. you could see where they actually had completed the first couple of modules, but the stars for all the subsequent ones were like, double the size of the first two and exactly as uneven/irregular as you'd expect if you were freehanding them with scissors.

probably would've been quicker and easier to just photoshop them in but no, this student took a refreshingly creative, arts-and-crafts approach to getting an academic misconduct case

Polycule but it’s just two people in a romantic relationship with each other and their third who’s pretty obviously aroace but also somehow so deeply intertwined in their lives that it’d just be wrong to not count them as involved. Is this anything.

I'd love to hear more about your bookbinding! That book with the marbled cover is gorgeous. What are you working on currently? What are you most proud of finishing?

I actually really liked my most recent project! It was a very basic Ethiopian binding, mostly intended to refresh my (rather rusty) skills and use up my book board. However, I used a black-and-white motif that was nicely contrasted with the multi-colored thread I bound them with---plus, I used three pieces of bookboard (if you look at that first picture, you'll see the middle piece is slightly more cream than the pages) which I've never tried before. Still pleased it worked out, even after spilling coffee all over it!

As for my next project, the one I intended for the marbled cover...I am very ambitiously trying a new binding form, the "loop pack with climbing pack" from Keith Smith's Exposed Spine Sewings. It involves multiple needles and diagrams I spent several hours staring at until they made sense. Wish me luck!
