As a response, today someone posted a link to Adam Sternbergh&#8217;s recent critique of that blog. A link in that article led me [...]]]></description>

I agree with you.&#8221; She seems to think she may have said these words to me before, but I&#8217;m fairly certain this was the first time. It&#8217;s not that I feel like I&#8217;m competing with her to see who&#8217;s right more often. Instead, I&#8217;m competing with [...]]]></description>

Make it a practicum. Write and workshop in class more often.
Work on several different &#8220;types&#8221; of writing simultaneously.
Make students write short things more often.
Have more one-on-one conferences with me.
Make workshops/peer reviews shorter and involve less commitment.
Call it a &#8220;creative thinking&#8221; course, but say that you can&#8217;t create just by thinking. You have to do something, [...]]]></description>

As I do so, I am letting go of the current name, Loving Words and Numbers: Forget(s) Eats Shoots and Leaves. I don&#8217;t know what exactly the book (is that what it was) Eats Shoots and Leaves was about, but I have the general idea [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rotman&#8217;s project is interesting because it directly engages not only the question of persuasion, but the question of the construction of mathematical objects through mathematical language. This is interesting to me because, as I argue in my Master&#8217;s Report, &#8220;Unlike other sciences and public discourses, whose arguments proceed from shared assumptions or agreed upon perceptions [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For Rotman, the signified meaning of mathematical signifiers &#8220;exists&#8221; in the mind of the scribbling/thinking mathematician-in-action. If we adopt this position and rigorously pursue it, I think we end up in a solipsistic position much more sophisticated than, but ultimately rather similar to, the one associated with Brouwer&#8217;s intuitionism.  I don&#8217;t have time to [...]]]></description>
