No accessibility options in the captcha? I guess they don’t care about people with vision disability.

Use normal chalk and then cover it with that water repellent spray?

“By your powers combined, I’m Captain Gull!”

No, that’d be a fancygull. A landgull would be a rat.

“Yeahhhh dude! But the main character needs a tagline, what should it be?”

No, the human perception of temperature thing is a myth. Originally 0F is the freezing temperature of a brine solution, and 90F was Fahrenheit’s estimation on the average human body temperature, and then the scale was adjusted so that it fit in better with Celsius reference points (freezing/boiling points of water).

No audio is horrible accessibility! What about the blind drivers who need to hear the ads?

“It is [verb]ing” (as in “it is raining”) can be reinterpreted as “[noun] is happening” (“rain is happening”).

Open a picture on your cell phone. Any portrait picture. Now look at it. Do your eyes focus on the whole picture? No, you focus on a portion of it at a time. It doesn’t matter that the orientation is vertical, the frame of your focus is the same no matter what you look at.

Do you know the main function of freshmen courses? It’s to make sure that every student has the same base knowledge before going into sophomore level courses. It’s giving the students from shitty high school backgrounds an opportunity to catch up with those from private schooling and those from school boards that didn’t provide sufficient challenges. These courses don’t need a higher teacher to student ratio, they just need students to pay attention to the lectures and talk to the TA if they’re stuck.

I don’t know how you extrapolate “no emphasis on learning” from “large classes”. The classes are large because they can afford to be large. They teach introductory courses, and their goal is to even out the baseline before the students go into sophomore courses. Freshmen come from many different education systems - private vs public, local vs out of state/province/country, fresh out of school vs returning to education after working, etc. This is also why these courses can be graded with standardized testing, because they set the standard themselves.

That may work in senior courses, but a freshman class with hundreds of students needs standardized tests.

Unless the bad guys got to time travel first… then every timeline becomes the bad timeline.

I’ve always experienced the opposite - native English speakers are horrible at spelling because they don’t have to put any effort into comprehending the language, vs non-native speakers who frequently have to take ESL tests for either academia, work, or immigration, and therefore had more exposure to spelling practice.
